5 Tips for Solo Travellers
2

• A solo trip doesnt necessarily mean a lonely
  trip thats a misconception weve got to tear
  down. You may be traveling by yourself, but there
  will be a whole bunch of fellow globetrotters and
  locals you can hang out with if you just put
  yourself out there and be open to whoever comes
  across your path.

• If that isnt convincing enough, here are 5
  reasons how a solo trip can change your life.

1. THE REVELATIONS YOU DISCOVER ABOUT YOURSELF
ARE NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING

• It goes without saying that, since youre on your
  own in a foreign land, youll probably spend a
  good deal of time alone and thats nothing to
  be afraid or ashamed of. Ditch technology and
  learn to rely on yourself.

6

• Do a bit of self-introspection, roam around with
  no agenda and strike up conversations with
  strangers. Basically, take a step out of your
  comfort zone to do what you normally wouldnt do
  (unless its, well, life-threatening) and even
  take time to reflect on your life back home it
  might just strike you that your troubles pale in
  comparison to whats going on around the world.

7

• Or you might surprise yourself with newfound
  social skills. Just dont stand by the sidelines
  challenge every single
• one of your fears, insecurities and
  misconceptions.

2. ITS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES IN LIFE WHEN THE
SKYS THE LIMIT

• Youre not constrained by deadlines, time
  restrictions, rules or travel companions whining
  about everything under the sun. The scent of
  freedom is absolutely intoxicating. No ones
  breathing down your neck about eating your
  veggies or going to bed before the sun rises.

10

• Munch on chocolate for breakfast or wear crazy
  mismatched clothes just because you can. Jot
  down your bucket list and start checking boxes.

11

• If youve got even the slightest amount of
  interest in something, as long as its within the
  realm of basic common sense, just do it. Because
  no good travel story ever started out with that
  one time I stayed in the hotel room

3. YOULL COME ACROSS ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, WHO
JUST MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BY BECOMING LIFELONG
FRIENDS

• But first youve got to toughen up and resist the
  temptation to hide out in your room. Who cares
  about the stares of judgment you might get?
  Youre probably just imagining them, anyway. The
  only way youll meet new people is if you make an
  effort to reach out and open up. Dont be too
  quick to turn down an invitation to hang out, or
  better yet, do the inviting.

14

• You may not speak the language, but a smile is a
  universal greeting just take it from there.
  This might surprise you, but people will actually
  strike up conversations with you more often
  because youre by yourself youre not as
  intimidating as tourists in pairs or groups. Some
  of my closest friends now are ones Ive randomly
  met while traveling alone, so you really never
  know what might happen.

4. THERES A WORLD FULL OF BREATHTAKING CULTURE
AND LIFE-ALTERING EXPERIENCES THAT LIES AHEAD.

• So you prefer to trek through off-the-beaten-path
  locations instead of the latest hotspot that
  everyones heading to? Hop on a plane and go for
  it. Dont let the lack of a travel companion or
  others hectic time schedules distract you from
  your own fulfilment.

16

• Explore gorgeous ancient ruins, scale the heights
  of great mountains, admire iconic landmarks
  across the globe, or attempt adventurous stunts
  for an adrenaline rush. Theres nothing stopping
  you from holding all these stunning memories
  except yourself.

5. YOU WILL RETURN HOME A WHOLE NEW YOU

• When you muster up the courage to undertake a
  solo trip despite your friends confused looks
  and your parents (or other halfs) worry, you
  leave home one person and come back another. Its
  pretty much guaranteed.

19

• Confidence is one of the great things youll gain
  because not many people can say theyve
  navigated the intimidating waters of the unknown
  and come back (mostly) unscathed and even
  rejuvenated.

20

• Theres so much to learn fresh perspectives,
  boldness in the face of failure, a new love for
  solitude, recognition of your inner strength,
  greater appreciation for the little things,
  feeling more than comfortable in your own skin
  It sounds clichéd to say this, but its honestly
  truly rewarding.
