You know that feeling when you want to travel but don’t have time to plan everything? Or maybe you’re worried about being in a new place all on your own? Group travel might just be the solution you’re looking for especially those looking for a well-organised and enriching experience. At Projek Buku Merah (PBM), we believe travelling in a group is a fun and stress-free way to see the world, and it’s not just for families or seniors—it’s great for solo travellers and busy professionals too.

Travelling in a group doesn’t mean you lose your sense of adventure; in fact, it adds more to the experience! Whether you’re someone who prefers hiking up a volcano or taking it easy with a boat ride, group travel lets you explore at your own pace. And with PBM, you get the personal touch of our founder, Ben Hussain, who plans every detail to make sure the trip suits everyone, whether you’re into adrenaline-pumping adventures or just want to kick back and relax.

So let’s see why group travelling is really a great solution for you when you want a bit of healing.

Travel Without Breaking the Bank

First things first, this way of travel is great for your wallet. When you’re sharing transportation, accommodation, and even tour guides, costs come down significantly. A good travelling partner (like PBM) will ensure you get maximum value for your money, whether it’s a trip to the Balkans or a peaceful retreat in Vietnam. 

Plus, we sometimes get exclusive discounts that solo travellers might miss out on—so it’s a win-win! You’re not just saving money—you’re getting more value out of each experience.

Forget About the Planning

You know what’s funny? Despite all the booking websites, apps and other platforms that make it convenient for you to plan your own holiday, oftentimes we are just too busy to do the bookings and to plan. We’re just too busy to research flights, book hotels, and plan itineraries. So you end up not going anywhere.

Sounds familiar?

This is where group travel can make sense. It takes all that stress off your shoulders. A good travelling partner does all the planning, from where you’re going to stay to what exciting activities are on the agenda. You just need to show up, and everything else is sorted.

Imagine having the trip preplanned with all the best spots—whether it’s going up to the “Roof of Indochina” with breathtaking views from Fansipan Mountain,or visiting the vibrant and colourful village of Kampung Warna-warni.

You can just enjoy the ride, knowing everything is taken care of.

Make Friends Along the Way

Let’s be real, planning a trip with your friends and also with your family can be very challenging. Trying to synchronise the perfect date is a nightmare. We’ve all been through that. And what’s worse, running closer to the date, one or two will pull out. You may just end up travelling by yourself.

The best part about group travel is you do not have to worry about this. In fact, this is a great way to meet like-minded people and forge new friendships. The excitement of discovering new places, trying local food, or going on a hiking or biking adventure is amplified when you’re in the company of fellow travellers

We often customise each trip to match the vibe of the group. If you’re an energetic solo traveller, expect more adventure. But if you’re an elderly couple, we’ll take things a little slower and focus on relaxation.

Safety in Numbers

Speaking of solo travelling versus group travelling, it is much safer to be in a group. Especially when heading into unfamiliar places where it can be a little daunting. The language, culture and customs, and not to mention the local regulations and authorities. 

It is safer and less daunting if you have a trusted local guide to help you navigate these new experiences. Sure it might take away some of the ‘adventure’, but why would you want to put yourself through unnecessary anxiety when a far greater adventure awaits you?

A great holiday is one that rejuvenates, inspires, and leaves you with lasting memories. You can do with the worry of being lost, being cheated, wasting time finding good food. Right?

 

At the end of the day, group travel offers much more than just convenience—it offers connection, adventure, and security. Whether you’re travelling to experience the rugged beauty of the Balkans, explore the ancient temples of Jogja, or witness the majestic Mt. Fuji, there’s something about group travel that makes these experiences richer.
