Every millennial loves to travel, and really, why not? There are a multitude of cities waiting to be explored, local food to be sampled and cultures to be experienced. Most of us have journeyed overseas with family, friends or an S.O., but have you ever considered taking a trip by yourself? Travelling alone isn’t unheard of; many do it for both business and pleasure, but it can be scary and daunting because you are companionless. And this begets the question, “Am i really going to have as much fun as i would if i travelled with another person?” The answer is a resounding YES.
Solo travel can be a definitive form of self-indulgence. You can do things at your own pace, stop when you’re tired (without worrying about how your travel companion feels) or go on a sightseeing rampage, if that’s your mood. You can learn from any blunders and celebrate victories, because they’re your own. You’ll emerge more independent and self confident, and undoubtedly apply all you’ve learned during the course of your travels to everyday life.
Travelling on your own can be tremendously rewarding, empowering and enjoyable, especially when you stay smart, confident and informed, like using your street sense and keeping your valuables hidden. Here are more tips:
RESEARCH AND BOOK EARLY
To start off, figure out when and for how long you’ll be gone. Since this is your first solo trip, keep your excursion at a week, tops. Now, get Googling and delve into the nitty-gritties of where you’re going and what you’ll do, and be sure to set a budget so you don’t get carried away.
Reserve ahead so you get the best deals on airfare and accommodation. Keep a running spreadsheet to slot in things-to-do, dates and times. Make sure you research dress codes, local customs and the weather. With this knowledge in hand, you’re sure to make better choices when you step off the plane.
