First-time solo trips are exhilarating and freeing. Taking a trip by yourself is a brilliant opportunity to discover the world. Not only does solo travel allow you to see new destinations at your own pace, but it also gives you newfound confidence and skills. 

Let Go of Fear

If fear is holding you back from booking your dream solo trip then the first step is to tackle it head-on. There are many ways to do this and the next few tips will help. 

Do Your Research

Planning is one of the best ways to avoid things going wrong. Doing thorough research on your destination will also give you more knowledge and confidence when walking around and avoiding danger.  

Talk to Other Solo Traveler

One of the best ways to really know about a destination is to speak to travelers who have recently visited where you’re going.  

Leave Your Valuables at Home

Depending on where you’re going, you might want to leave valuables at home. Especially if wearing and/or using them at your destination makes you an unwanted target. 

Split Up Cash and Credit Card

When traveling—first solo trip or not—you’ll want to take a variety of debit or credit cards and a bit of cash but don’t make the rookie mistake of keeping everything in one place. 

Have a Plan B

Sometimes travel doesn’t go to plan and you might have to change a few details. Your flight might get canceled and you might find yourself in an unknown city for a day or your Airbnb host turns out to not be around when you arrive.  

Keep a Copy of Your Most Important Document

If you lose your passport and you have a copy of it, the process is so much simpler than if you don’t. Before traveling always make sure to have a copy of your most important documents with you.  

First Solo Trip Win

Embarking on a solo trip for the first time can be an exhilarating and liberating experience, offering a unique opportunity to explore the world at your own pace.
