Hey guys! I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well. I know many persons love to travel, but some often have anxiety when they consider travelling alone, so I just wanted to share a few tips if you are thinking about embarking on your first solo trip!
Firstly, the major key to successfully planning your first solo trip and curbing a lot of your initial anxiety, is to do research. Extensively research the country or place you are planning to visit, and specifically the area you will be in. Make sure it's safe, make sure it's accessible to the activities you are interested in doing whilst on your trip.
Secondly, finding accommodation where you will be comfortable. If you have never used Airbnb, I highly recommend it; there are loads of options to meet any budget. Start looking early so you can secure an accommodation that best suits you, whether it be a private room/shared accommodation or having an entire place to yourself. Use my code below to save on your next stay!
Thirdly, book your airline ticket in advance. Once you have decided on the dates for your trip, make that reservation. This will save you money, as the longer you wait, the higher the ticket prices will be, especially during peak seasons. Another tip, I have often found that booking two one way tickets works out to be more affordable than booking a round trip. Thank me later!
Next, transportation. Make sure you have figured out how you will get around in your intended destination, will you take the bus, taxi, etc. Research what options are available to you and plan ahead accordingly.
For activities, I would suggest making a list of the places you want to visit, and directions on how to get there in advance. I did this and it was definitely a lifesaver, and made my trip go way more seamlessly.
Finally, make sure you have adequate funds to cover all your expenses for the duration of your trip, and in case you encounter any unforeseen emergencies.
