Tips For Solo Traveling Trips

By Christa Jarvis


There are a lot of things you can achieve with travelling all by yourself. This makes it a lot more fun and sort of like a religious experience in a pilgrimage of sorts as long as when it is done successfully. Small mistakes may happen from time to time, but the feeling of achieving this is beyond what can be imagined.

What you can from this are valuable experiences and advantages in this type of travel. Solo traveling trips could give you a handful of freedom and enjoyment without having to worry about a partner who might not be enjoying the same things as you. The random decisions you make will never have to be thought twice in consideration with the other person.

These random times might consist of night drives just because you feel like it, or taking different routes to a destination, or having too many stopovers. This could be anything and everything at the same time and you are free to do all these without worrying about dragging another person with you. You can sign even sign up for mini classes in surfing without worrying that someone is waiting.

Since you are accountable to yourself, you need to consider full on safety measures and awareness when trekking routes and talking to people. Be careful when talking to strangers, although not to be anti social, just do not trust anyone fully. Scammers are the friendliest of all people, so just keep your guard up all the time.

If you are dealing with a travel agency, ask them about the area and their likely feedbacks from their previous customers. It is also beneficial if you can ask around from friends who have gone to that place regardless if they went there on their own or with other people. This can give you a heads up on the place and be prepared for what can happen.

Take in mind the length of travel time that you should get from the airport or station to the place that you are going if you are on foot. This prevents you from getting scammed by taxi drivers who are circling you around the path or who are overcharging. If the charge is way higher than what you heard from the agency or friends, get a different one.

The way you dress up should be highly considered especially in heavily religious countries or areas that take this seriously. It would be a good idea to respect their culture by wearing clothes appropriately, which most of the time should not show a lot of skin. This prevents you from catching glares from locals.

One thing you can do in order to not stick out like a sore thumb in the streets is to buy clothes in their local shops. You would visually get the idea what the locals wear whether they are just strolling around or going to work. Getting those clothes would also be a nice way of taking souvenirs related to that place.

Some agencies might offer you higher prices if you are traveling all by yourself. You need to ask them for more details on this. Also, you can ask them if there are certain arrangements that can lower the prices.
