Everyone always talks about how great it is to travel solo, but most people rarely address its downsides. Unless you’re a true social butterfly, dealing with loneliness will be an essential part of your trip, but there are ways to beat the solo travel blues.
Right Booking
Staying at a hotel or a private apartment will make you feel even more isolated during your trip. Try to go for hostels or shared apartments with common room area where you can meet new people. Even if you’re not extremely social, having some background noise around you is always welcomed.
Group Activities
If you’re struggling to start a conversation, but still want to meet new people, group activities are a great place to start. Join a walking tour or check if there are any free cooking or dancing classes in the area, and this exciting experience will probably lead to new connections.
Embrace the Feeling
At the end of the day, it’s important to learn to make friends with your loneliness because it may end up coming back. Take some rest and do something that makes you feel good, like having a fancy meal or going to the movies, and we’re sure you’ll feel more energized after taking a break.
