Tips on traveling alone

Planning a solo adventure can be tricky, but why should that stop you from seeing the world? Check out our top tips for traveling solo around the world!

Find a focus for your adventure
What is your favorite thing to do at home and away? Is it going to artisan bakeries? Checking out craft breweries? Indulging in wine tasting? Rock climbing or water sports? Whatever it is that you love doing, find an itinerary that focuses on something you enjoy doing and let it become the theme of your time away from home. This is a unique way to discover a new place, meet like-minded people and create memories when traveling on your own!
Download podcasts and playlists
Podcasts and music are the best way to elevate your downtime or time spent traveling on trains, planes and buses getting from one location to the next. There’s a podcast for every niche in the world, so no matter what you’re interested in or aspiring to be, there’s a podcast to inspire you! Head to a museum and listen to your favorite playlist while marveling at masterpieces created by the world’s greatest artists.
Find a portable hobby
There are so many hobbies you can choose from—it’s not all about knitting! Writing, reading and playing video games are the most obvious choices, but what about jewelry-making or flower-pressing? You could also take your guitar or another musical instrument. Virtually everyone loves music, and it’s a great way to make friends. There is always someone around to jam with, so brush up on some easy songs!
Be a traveler, not a tourist
You’ve probably heard this statement many times and wondered what it means. Ditch your camera, guidebook and phone. Instead of scouring the internet for answers, walk up to locals and ask them for directions, even if there is a language barrier. The crux of being a traveler over a tourist is to experience challenges and embrace them, which can be easier when traveling alone.
Join group activities
If you’ve ever attended a meetup, you know how fun they can be. There’s nothing stopping you from doing one when visiting a new place, especially if you’re traveling alone. You’re an avid hiker or dancer? Why not spend your adventure doing just that. The digital age has made it easy to connect with others and gather information on meetups happening around the world. Solo travel groups with activities are a great way to meet locals and make new friends!
Embrace your newfound freedom
When vacationing with family or friends, you have to juggle dates, destinations, personal tastes, travel styles, and so on. When flying solo, you get to be the boss. Wake up when you want, see what you want, and spend every single day how you want instead of compromising and planning with your travel companions.

Why we love traveling solo

The advantage of traveling alone is building connections. Solo travelers get out of their comfort zone much quicker and find themselves interacting with locals sooner.

You learn to enjoy your own company
Traveling alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. Something many of us have learned, especially during the pandemic, is that it’s important to enjoy your own company. Having a connection with yourself requires a lot of time and focus, something we don’t come by easily when in our daily routines back home. Traveling alone is the perfect time to learn to enjoy your own company and invest time in having a relationship with yourself.
You become self-reliant
There’s more to traveling alone than being able to do whatever you want. Relying on yourself in an unfamiliar place, where even the language is unknown to you, is an empowering experience. The benefits of traveling alone outweigh any struggles; we’re capable of much more than we realize. Trusting your instincts, figuring things out, and being self-reliant are invaluable skills and rewarding life lessons. Every female solo traveler will tell you this.
You have time to catch up
Have you ever found that when traveling, you want to binge-watch your favorite show or connect with people you haven’t caught up with in a while? Cramming in one sight after another isn’t the only way to travel. Life can get hectic, but when you travel alone, you can slow down. From the books on your bookshelf and all the friends you keep thinking of to all the things you don’t have time for back home, your solo trip is the perfect time to catch up.
You make new friends more easily
Traveling with friends and family is great, but it’s easy to stay within your comfort zone and spend your time with them. When you take a solo trip, your eyes open to the ample opportunities and ease of meeting new people. In general, people traveling alone are open to new experiences, including making new friends when they place themselves in an environment of like-minded people. No single supplement tours are especially ideal for this.
