Things to do before travelling solo


 

They said that travelling solo is sad and expensive because there's no one you can talk to and you have to shoulder all the expenses. But for me travelling solo is about finding your inner soul, it is about facing your fear that keeps you stronger. Travelling solo cannot be expensive if you will not get private tours. So if you are planning to travel solo for the first time, you have to consider these things:

  • Search - before going to the place that you are planning to go to research first about that place. How is the mode of transportation or where will you stay during your visit. Is the place safe for solo travellers? Where can you buy cheap food and the tourist spots that you may consider in your itinerary. You have to get to know about that place by reading reviews by the traveller that have been there, reading the history of the place and also about the culture of people living there. With the power of internet searching about those things is now easy. In your every travel either solo or not you have to do your assignment and that is to research.

  • Organize - after researching about the place that you are going, you have to organize things like booking in advance to where will you stay, will you pack your food or what are the things that you have to bring? Will you travel at daytime or night time? Is it by air, land or sea? What is the proper attire you have to wear? What are the tourist spot that you will be visiting? Are these have entrance fees? What time are they open? What are the rules and regulations that you have to follow? What are the safety precautions that you have to consider? These are the things that you have to consider in making your itinerary. Organizing your travel are one of the challenges that you have to face. How will you organize it?

  • Pack Light- since you are in a solo, there's no one who can carry your baggage except  you yourself. So better pack light. If you are travelling in a short trip around 2-5 days then, you have to plan what to wear each day. Also consider the activities that you will be doing and the places that you will be visiting. For the toiletries pack it in a small container for this will save up space in your bag. My tip is to take note the things that you will bring especially the important ones. Don't bring uncessary things that you may not need during your travel. One bag pack and a small bag where you can put your important belongings like wallet and cellphone is enough.

  • Be Open-minded - travelling to different places makes you encounter different cultures and belief. With this, you have to be open- minded, you have to learn and accept to whatever the culture or belief they have. You have to understand  and put in mind that you are travelling to explore new things. 
Solo travelling is full of adventures and experiences so when you are planning to travel solo you have to keep in mind the letters S.O.L.O. which means Search, Organize pack Light and be Open-minded.
