Tips For Solo Traveling Trips

By Christa Jarvis


There are many fulfilments that a person will be able to achieve if they choose to travel all by themselves. It can be a sort of religious experience when done in a successful manner, even with the notion of those small mistakes that can happen along the way. The process is entirely rewarding and it can be an entirely new learning experience.

There are a lot of connecting challenges as well with travelling in general. Doing solo traveling trips would make it easier for you to have more control over your own itinerary, destinations, and you are very much free to do about almost anything you want to. Everything is welcome, even with spur of the moment decisions and the like.

Those random decisions will be very much useful in making your trips a lot cooler and spontaneous without having to worry about waking up someone in the middle of the night for a drive just because you feel like it. Or also with taking different pathways in reaching to your destinations, which might contribute to getting lost. You can only be accountable to yourself and that is it.

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.

It would be a great idea to survey the location by asking either your friends who have been there before or from a travel agency which can provide you with a more accurate information. This makes it easier for you to prepare for the inevitable in those locations. This also lets you do necessary changes if you need to.

You should take note about the travel times from wherever you are to a certain location through taxi. This is when you are on foot, and there is no other way around. Ask first the agency or your friend on the fare and the time it takes, if this does not match with what the cab driver is asking, then find a different cab.

Clothing is very important especially in countries and regions where they are heavily influenced with social norms and religious views. Do your part of research and see what you can do to adjust your traveling wardrobe accordingly. This relieves you from getting unwanted and unsolicited attention from locals.

Another hack for dressing like the locals and to be able to blend in with them is to go to a local clothing shop and buy a few articles of clothing that you usually see locals are wearing. This gives you an opportunity to both blend in with them and to get souvenirs from the place as well. Just be careful not to get those that screams tourist at the faces of locals, not that there is anything entirely bad about that in some cases.

There are agencies that usually offer prices that are as if good for two people. You can avoid this by asking them if they can have some arrangements that they can do like sharing a room with someone else in booked trips. The only downside is it is a random stranger, but some agencies appropriately match their clients.
