The idea of traveling solo, especially as a woman can be daunting. You're worried about your safety, you wonder if you'll be lonely etc. These are genuine concerns! However, as someone who has traveled solo on many occasions, I have found it to be my preferred method of travel. Don't get me wrong, I love traveling with friends and family as well, but solo travel is the ultimate freedom. You can go where you want, when you want. If you want to cram 3 museums in one day, go for it! If you want to spend the evening in your dorm room watching Netflix, you can! You want to eat falafel from that shop down the road for lunch AND dinner? Heck yes! Traveling solo will push you out of your comfort zone, but that's not a bad thing! You'll return with a new confidence in yourself, new friends, and amazing memories. I've put together a few tips to make your next solo trip a little less intimidating and my blog is full of personal solo-travel stories.
