All-Inclusive Resorts

By booking a place at an all-inclusive resort, you’ll be able to enjoy all of the food, drinks, entertainment, and amenities you want without leaving. This is particularly helpful if you’re nervous about going into town alone and navigating the streets without help.

Talk To People

While you may have arrived alone, this doesn’t mean you need to spend your entire trip alone. Consider socializing with your fellow holidaymakers. For all you know, you’ll meet some new friends that you wouldn’t have found otherwise.

Divide Your Valuables

Keep your passport on you at all times as this is one document you’ll never want to lose. While its alright to use a hotel safe, make sure that you don’t put all of your valuable there on the off chance that it gets broken into.

Choose Budget Accommodations

One of the largest expenses included in almost any trip is accommodations, especially when you’ve got no one to split the cost with. While solo travel does offer more flexibility in terms of choosing exactly where you’d like to stay, you may be better off skipping fancy hotels in favor of hostels or other shared spaces. Check out websites like Hostelworld to read reviews and find a place you’ll feel comfortable.

Use Public Transportation

Taxis and rideshares can add up quickly, so stay within your budget by sticking with alternative options as much as possible. Typically, this will mean taking public transportation like buses, trains, or subways, though if you’re in a safe area and aren’t going far, you may also be fine getting around on foot. For mid-length journeys, many cities now have bike sharing stations with pay-as-you-go fee structures.

Eat Like a Local

You wouldn’t dine at a fancy restaurant for every meal at home, and there’s no reason to do so while traveling, either. Food is one of the best ways to get to know the culture of a location, but it’s perfectly possible and perhaps even more authentic to do so through grocery stores and street food markets. Buy simple snacks like nuts or oatmeal to keep on hand so that you don’t need to go to a restaurant for every single meal. When you do want to eat out, stick with small, independent establishments away from touristy areas.

Still Being Safe

Now don’t get us wrong—we aren’t saying that you should throw out your phone and have completely no idea where you are. You shouldn’t be so lost that you actually feel like you’re in danger, especially if it’s late at night and you’re not in a public area. We mean getting lost in the colloquial sense, where you just walk around various areas without much idea of where you’re going.

Becoming a Local

When you walk aimlessly around a city you’ve never been in, it allows you to connect with the land in a very unique way. You wouldn’t plan your every move if you actually lived there, so when you get lost in a city, you’re essentially learning what it’s like to be a local!

Embracing Adventure

Ultimately, there’s something truly adventurous about letting the wind take you where it will. Again, it’s important to have Google Maps on you and a fully charged phone, just in case. But as long as you have those things, feel free to allow the trip to take on a mind of its own.

Overcoming Fear

If you don’t want to travel alone for reasons that have to do with fear, then that might be all the more reason for you to do it. It’ll be a great opportunity for you to gain more confidence in yourself and overcome that particular hurdle in the process.

Learn More About Yourself

When you travel by yourself, you no longer feel shackled by the pressures of people around you. You can literally be whoever you want—and when you have that freedom, you might just discover new things about yourself.

Connect With The World

Traveling is a great way to connect with the outside world. You meet new people, you explore different cultures, and eat interesting new cuisines. This is obviously something you can do when traveling with others too, but when you do it alone it resonates on a different level.

Online Research

Read about the destination you are traveling to and try to understand what the dangers are, and how you should avoid them.

Take Safety Precautions

Keep your money, documents, and passport in a safe place. You will not want to get stuck in an unfamiliar city without your important documents.

Buddy System

Travel with a friend if possible, and try not to be left alone in an unfamiliar environment. Try not to travel alone at night anyway, even if the destination is seemingly safe.

Exercise Discretion

Try to think twice about every action you take. Even if at home you would not think twice before doing something, when you are a tourist you should be careful and exercise judgment concerning different situations.

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.
