Well my friend, you’ve made the right to go to the land of the free on your own. Congratulations! Prepare to be the center of attention at all the BBQ’s and everyone’s dinner party because it will be ALL YOU. Every great journey starts with small steps. Solo travel includes just the same. The first you need to do is pick the place. USA has so many travel styles to choose from. NB:Are you a beach bum? Drive on to the beautiful California coastline. Country: city slicker A whistle is sounding, LOUDBALL!!!! Nature lover? The national parks are practically telling you “come visit us!”
After you have chosen a destination, then go and book your travel package. Find ones that have accommodations, organized tours and maybe even a few once in a lifetime experiences for activities like cooking classes, hiking trips. This not only saves you from stress but also you get to mingle with other fellow travelers. You could end up becoming best buds over something as simple as hiking or shared dislike for pineapple on pizza. Either way these bonds will ultimately lead to friendships that last longer than your trip!
Your Solo Adventure Packing List
After that this is what you need to prepare before hitting the road (or sky). Packing. Packing is the term I use for cramming all of my stuff into a case that will fit in a suitcase. Packing for a solo trip is key. No you do not want to be that person trying to move a small car sized suitcase. Begin with basics: soft (read flat) clothes and closed-toe shoes along with your most loved travel pillow. Don’t forget your reusable water bottle and portable charger for devices in general! #Capturing that one-of-a-kind sunset selfie, of course!
Also bring a backpack so you can carry snacks for light day trips. This cuddly antidote will house snacks and a camera and maybe a journal where you will record all the epic things that are sure to come that day. Believe me; there will be points in the future you would love to remember forever. And it is also a great topic of conversation. “Oh you write?” Yeah, I just wrote a travel blog! I mean… the universe just said!
How to Make Friends: The Social Aspects of Solo Travel
One of my favourite parts about traveling by myself is meeting new people. It may be surprising to find out how easy you can talk to fellow travelers. Whether that be sitting at the same table in a local cafe, or even in a group tour you will never know what adventures can come out of putting yourself out there. Most solo travel packages come with group activities, so you aren’t the only one looking to get in a little adventure.
Participate in a meetup or a local thing. Imagine a poetry reading at your local bookstore, or dancing the night away at an array of festivals. And these are enriching experiences that not only enhance your wanderings but also create community. You might bump into someone who loves bad puns as much as you or has exactly the same playlist. You realize how small the world can be when you discover that others share your interest.
Safety Precautions for the Solo Traveller
Solo travel is fun, but you have to be your own number one priority advocate. Research the place you want to travel. Learn about local manners, what transport is available, and where you should not go. Finding your way around a new place can be incredibly relieving. Above all, always protect your stuff. Crossbody bag: use a crossbuster and keep your money/jewellery as close by as possible. Get a money belt or hidden pouch to really beef up your security.
Trust your gut. If it doesn´t feel right, exit the situation. Your gut is best and all your instincts are correct. Also, throw a few trustworthy friends or family members a copy of your travel plan. Someone will always know where you are, and you can sleep nice and sound. Simply put, have fun in a safe and enjoyable way while adventuring!

Living in the Moment (the good times of being spontaneous)
One of the biggest pleasures I have found in solo travel is just being able to take advantage of spontaneity. You are free of the crowd, and you can listen to your inner sound and move at whim. You can come across something happening in your local area, find a hidden café or beautiful vista off the beaten track. A lot of times the unplanned moments of spontaneity are your favorite parts of it all.
Well then, shit happens! Yes, if you see a local festival sign—go watch it. Curious? Give something new a try such as zip-lining or wake-boarding. I love solo travel because it allows you to do anything and everything. But do take time, and be in the moment (whether that means star-gazing at 3 in the morning from a quaint café-croissant or hiking along the trails to the jaw-dropping vantage point). Every step is your story!
