Traveling alone is an exciting and wildly challenging experience, and perhaps one of the bravest things you can do. Whether you need some alone time or you simply don’t have any company, exploring a part of the world by yourself can be the best adventure ever. If you’re feeling brave, here are some useful tips to have in mind.
1. Make sure to find an accommodation with positive reviews, that has free Wi-Fi and is located in a safe area.
2. Be friendly, spontaneous and open to meeting new people and, who knows, you might end up enjoying drinks together with a new friend.
3. Do a little research about your destination and learn a few words in the local language.
4. Travel insurance is always a good idea.
5. If you decide to go out at night, stay sober no matter what!
6. Be confident and trust your intuition, but avoid taking silly risks.
7. Don’t draw attention to yourself by wearing fancy jewelry and expensive electronics.
8. Always have someone that knows your schedule and where you are.
9. Walk a lot if you have the time, because there is no better way to get to know a city.
10. Ask for help if it’s needed.
