Traveling alone has a lot of benefits. You can do exactly what you love, be spontaneous, meet new people, and have special experiences. It is also a great opportunity to gain special experiences you have always dreamed of, such as volunteering at a local school or animal shelter, attending a cooking or photography course, or staying with a local family. 

In general, this is a great opportunity to detach from everything, clear your head, and just have fun.

But along with the obvious benefits of a trip alone, there are a few things to consider before setting out.

First of all, maintain your safety. Even if you are traveling alone, make sure to inform your family or friends by phone or through social media where you are and what is your next destination.

Spend your nights in safe places, and those who have received a high rating online.

Choose places to travel that have good, safe, and reliable public transportation. You will not want to get stuck at night in an unfamiliar place because the bus did not arrive, or the train was late.

And enjoy. Traveling alone is an amazing experience and one that you will remember for a lifetime.
