Tips For Solo Traveling Trips

By Christa Jarvis


You can get a lot from being able to travel just by yourself and there is actually nothing to fear from it, too. This can be closely associated with experiences like in a pilgrimage and the feelings that a person gets with this kind of travel could lead into unexpected achievements. There could be some mistakes here and there but that is just part of it and what you can get from this is far greater.

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.

But these times of randomness should have a tag of safety attached to it. You no longer have a person watching behind you when you go solo trips and that could lead to a higher risk of getting scammed, get stuff stolen from you, or any other incidents. So you need to be extra careful.

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.

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.

The types of clothes that you are wearing has a lot of impact depending on the area or the country that are you in. This is especially when it comes to those countries who have high regard of religious beliefs and have customs set up in their society according to this. Make sure to respect this by wearing appropriate clothing.

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.
