My first Solo Trip
So let’s me just say this, I’m super proud of myself for finally going away by myself. The only one regret I have is the last minute planning which just created a lot of anxiety in me. So here are a few tips for solo travellers, otherwise learn the hard way like I did…hmm or maybe not.
- Don’t worry about language barrier, most communication is through body language
- Choose your ideal location but near amenities dependant on your needs
- If you’re not planning to hire a car, ensure you familiarise yourself with the transportation links otherwise put enough money aside for a taxi
- Take your laptop or books for times you’re waiting around
- Be happy… this freedom just be alone away from familiar surroundings
- Pick up on the local lingo .. it’s fun once you can say a few things in their tongue & they love it
- Be safe – write down contact numbers
- Share your location with close friends / family
- Go out there & have fun .. be adventurous
- Don’t be afraid to take a selfie in public or ask a stranger to take your picture
