ravelling alone, at least once in your lifetime, is crucial for growth. You learn how to handle all the challenges during the trip and this is also a good chance to discover or re-discover yourself. So now that you’ve decided to travel alone to make memories for a lifetime, let us help you out by giving you a few useful tips to travel.
1. B&Bs and hostels
Opt to stay at B&Bs and hostels as that gives you the opportunity to make friends quickly so that you don’t feel isolated. They are budget friendly and suitable for all age groups!
2. At Night
Exploring the city at night is a good idea but visiting shady, deserted areas is a foolish one. If you step out at night, ensure you are at a decently crowded place so that someone can step in to help in case things go wrong. You’ll also feel safer.
3. Share Your Plans
Make sure your folks at home have your accommodation details along with your travel itinerary.
4. Do Research
The official website will only paint a rosy picture about your intended destination. Search for websites that will give you the real picture - safety, expenses, culture - so that you have a better idea where you’re headed.
5. Be Smart With Money
Last, but not the least, be smart about your money. Always have a stash of cash for emergency purposes and keep you cash and cards hidden in different places so that even if you do lose some money, you have more than enough to keep going.
Safe travels!
