Not all those who wander are lost – J.R.R Tolkien
Travelling will always give you extra energy to explore the unseen parts of the world. It will make you go through an adrenaline rush to have unlimited freedom of wandering around.
People in this mechanical world have become more adventurous travelers to break free from the shackles of their ultra-monotonous lives, especially after these two years of lockdown. Sometimes, it can be tough to gather like-minded people together and go on vacation. So, traveling solo is the best option, considering the other facts.
If you are a born solo traveler or want to become one, this article is definitely for you.
Why travel solo:
Traveling with family and friends is always a treat—the memories you share are priceless. However, too many people with different opinions and restrictions can sometimes lead nowhere. Then solo travel comes to the rescue. A lone traveler can focus on the journey rather than prioritizing other luxuries, change the plan, and handle finances as needed at any time. Traveling solo will help a person gain confidence, indeed a journey to explore oneself.
How to travel solo:
One type of person is excited about traveling alone. The other type of person wants to travel alone but doesn’t want to take risks because of getting lost somewhere else or facing some fraud. If you fall into the second category, then we have some exclusive advice for you—
- Time for some homework: While planning for a trip, just set your budget and destination accordingly. Chalk out a rough sketch of the plan on the routes you will be traveling, the duration of your trip, and how much you can afford.
- Visit solo travel websites: After chalking out a plan, please do visit some websites which propose some exciting offers for solo traveling—‘Best Single Travel’, ‘Solos’, ‘Solo Traveler,’ and ‘Women on the Road’. These websites will help you plan in a better way.
- Book accommodations: Since it is all about solo travel, you always have to be cautious. While booking your hotels or rides, you have to go through the ratings and reviews. If the negative reviews are many, then you have to reconsider.
- Share your plan: Always share your schedule with your friends and family. If you get trapped, your people can at least assist the police in investigating and forcing you to escape.
- Carry cash and cards: Always keep cash and debit cards on hand. If any card doesn’t work out, cash will be your savior at that time.
- Share nothing personal: Even if a stranger becomes your friend, never share everything with everyone. Sharing too many details with a stranger can lead to a deep hole of danger.
- Carry solo kits: Please carry a few solo travel kits—a safety whistle, anti-theft backpack, travel money belt, torch, pepper spray, etc.
Conclusion:
Solo traveling is an antidote to breaking your solitude. It will help to see the unseen, to know the unknown side of the world. Solo traveling can be a blessing in disguise if you follow the above tips. So, buckle up and say ‘Explorations le monde.
