This was such a great video! I was wondering if you had any tips about traveling with health issues? I was comfortable traveling alone but now it feels different. I have head pain, migraines, occasional brain fog and plenty of meds to keep track of. I loved the tip about how to get meds in advance. I was wondering if you have anything else you would like to share?
Yeah I didn't address in this video because it felt more niche, but some things I do: -always have food incase I get a migraine and can't order/go out to get anything -always make sure where I'm staying has a water kettle (for hot pack) or freezer if you use ice pack -try to find one contact (friend of a friend or something) who lives in the country incase of emergency, but that's not always possible so honestly I just cross my fingers and hope I won't need to go to the hospital -get meds in advance (and also check meds in the country you're in, because a lot of the time, depending on what you need you can actually just buy it cheaper without a prescription in a lot of places) -I travel at my own pace and don't try to over-pack the itinerary. A lot of the times I cant do *everything* on my list, and miss out on things, but I try not to get frustrated with myself and body and just do what I can! Also just want to note, at the beginning of my travels I definitely wavered for a couple weeks if I was able to do it or not, and ultimately decided that for me it's worth it to try, and just deal with the shitty situations that may come up. I've definitely gotten a migraine on a train, plane, and other super not ideal situations while by myself but I just try to get to where I'm going and find a bed asap when that happens and hope I don't puke on the road basically. For me, it's been worth it but it can definitely be challenging/intimidating so I understand completely. Best of luck xxx
@@taylorwynn Thank you so much! It’s great to see someone be able to travel with health stuff. I did my first travel in state this summer, with my ten year old and it gave me hope for doing more.
Great video and excellent question and response. Thank you for asking and thank you Taylor for your advice. I have significant health issues and It’s definitely a challenge to travel!
@@tiffanysadlertlc I have gone from able-bodied and super fit to being disabled, and it's a challenge, but very doable to travel with health issues! If you can't walk far, book wheelchair assistance well before your flight (not on the day), and/or any dietary requirements you may need on the flight for meals. If you book a wheelchair they'll get you on the plane early, and meet you with a wheelchair at the other end, at the aircraft. Even if you don't need a chair but need assistance, they'll help you with what you need (I'm ex cabin crew). Always take more meds than you need (I always carry extra, just in case I can't get home when planned). It just needs a little more planning, and don't be scared to ask someone to help you plan things either! I'm taking my own chair on holiday next week (I can walk, but not far), so that'll be a new experience for me, and give me more freedom while I'm away. Good luck. You've got this! 💖💖🏴
I recently left a toxic/abusive relationship. I went on a Solo trip a few days ago. I loved it! I felt so empowered! knowing I can do this, I can be happy doing things alone. I kept thinking of you! Thinking about taking a longer trip soon!
I did the same thing after my 7 year relationship ended but I left for 5 months and traveled Europe while taking classes. It really does help you through the break up and learning to be alone and love yourself again after a toxic relationship
You got this, Melissa! I’m so glad you did it, it’s incredible how healing solo travel can be and what it can do for your confidence (and soul), right?? Sending you all the good vibes and luck :)
I am right there with you…been traveling by myself for both business and pleasure since I was 26 and I’m 57 now! It is by far the best thing to experience and I always have an amazing time and I’ve never felt unsafe because I’m very aware of my surroundings and as an American I do NOT want to stand out like a sore thumb. I moved to Ireland by myself 21 years ago and plan to retire somewhere in the Mediterranean. It has been life changing and so empowering. Let me know if you ever come to Dublin and want to say hi! Keep doing what you’re doing….it will keep you young and strong and beautiful!
This was so helpful. As a rule I am comfortable being alone but solo travel has been a little intimidating. I just retired and was looking forward to traveling with my husband of 38 years. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly in July. Realistically, I will need to travel solo since as you said there won't always be someone to travel with. I've always been independent so I do believe I can do this but it is definitely out of my comfort zone. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Patricia, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Hopefully you enjoy your time traveling solo, or find a friend or group to travel with. Wishing you many great adventures in the future, as well as healing and comfort in the coming days. Big hugs.❤
@@Future-zx9ts Thank you so much. If nothing else I've learned that there are no guaranteed tomorrows so I don't want to delay too long to travel. I certainly thought he had more time and now I am doubting how much time I have left.
i absolutely agree with everything in this wonderful video. i have solo travelled to 2 locations (florida and South Korea) and plan on doing more. as a woman, i feel we are taught to wait for others/do things with others and let others make decisions for us. so once i started traveling solo, i felt extremely empowered. i researched, planned and paid for my own trip all on my own. if i had waited for people to come with me, i would not have gone to south korea at all and would have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity. i started small, traveling within the US where i’m from (to florida) for a short 4 day weekend to eat at restaurants and sit at the beach. take myself parasailing and go to an aquarium and feed flamingoes. then i traveled to south korea to see BTS (won a ticket to see them) and explore the country. i didn’t know the language but i chose south kore bc it was rated as one of the safer places for solo female travel, they recently had the olympics there which meant that there would be more major things in english. as a big international city, they have long had english signs for the things you need - train, street signs, airports, major malls. most people know very basic english and if not are very helpful otherwise. in the hanok village, there are “red angels” who wear read and help direct tourists to the village and hand out maps and of course speak english. what helped me: - watch 4k street walking videos (for south korea there are youtubers like seoul walker who film a couple of hours just walking around town. this helped me feel like the destination wasn’t so scary and foreign to me, and you can get an idea of what street, metro and traffic signs look like) - know the addresses of everywhere you’re going (download a waze like app. for south korea, they use naver and it gives you all the details to get right to the front door even on foot!) - get an international wall outlet port and get a long 6’ cord. every country,s outlet is different and they’re affordable on amazon. make sure yours is sturdy bc you don’t know if the socket is in the wall on flat on the ground - have the phone number and address for your country,s embassy nearest to your hotel. they can help you in emergencies, that’s what they’re there for - absolutely agree, walk with purpose. hagglers and stranger dangers won’t bother as much as someone who looks like an easy target please don’t feel embarrassed about traveling alone. like taylor said, it’s more a reflection of yourself than what other people are thinking. i always applaud people doing their own thing, and people are too busy in their own world to notice if you’re eating by yourself. if you spend all your time waiting for others to join you, you’ll end up missing your opportunity (i have one too many times and now i travel and do most things myself for the freedom of choice and empowerment). if i waited for someone to join me in south korea (especially covid happening a few months after my trip, effectively shutting down the country), i wouldn’t have been able to overlook the seoul7017 bridge at midnight and marvel how i got here all by myself. safe travels all! the world is beautiful, go explore!
Solo travel is absolutely it. I have really severe generalised anxiety disorder & travelling alone has shown me how brave I can be, & tbh my intrinsic need to plan works very well with travelling alone
I've solo travelled a few times and I have to say I did feel very awkward eating out alone at first, but it was totally the opposite. Most wait staff love solo people, easy to serve and usually tip well. Loved being able to read my book waiting for the food to come out 😊 I'm an introvert with chronic health issues as well so I loved being able to just go back to the hotel and chill if I was too tired or in pain
I did a nearly four week cross-country road trip by myself for my 40th birthday and it was the best gift I ever gave myself. I'm trying to plan a second one in the next year or two to hit the parts of the country that I didn't have time to see (or even drive through) on my first trip. I'm planning a spring trip by myself - no idea where I'm going at this point, but I'm going! Can't wait. 😀 I love to see you taking this journey and encouraging others to explore too! ❤ The Google tips were super important on my trip too - I drove through some very desolate areas and so I had to plan well in advance where to stop for gas and stuff so I never ran out in the desert or something, and it helped my friends and family feel better that they could look at their Google maps and see where I was at any given time, and I felt better knowing that if something ever happened, people would know where to look for me.
As someone who is also has chronic pain/illness, I'd love to see a travel video regarding preparing, maintaining, and coping with that. I've really enjoyed watching your nomad life. Looks like so much fun!
I'm on a solo trip right now, feeling so much more confident just doing my own thing. You have inspired me so much with all of your adventures this year 🥰 it's so good to see a woman in her 20s/30s just doing whatever she wants to do.
I just did a solo trip this past weekend and it has made me feel like my old self and confident since moving overseas. I made mistakes but figured it out. It’s crazy how different I felt after doing that.
HA HA! I’m first! 🌻 Short story on traveling alone… I went to Kauai, Hawaii for a week vacation. Fell madly in love, went back home sold everything, 42 days later I moved there and stayed 9 years. Best 9 years of my life! (so far….)
Love you Taylor!! I'm literally living through you with your solo travel experience and lifestyle these days. I'm a long time subscriber of yours (about 7 years now) and I love seeing you grow ❤️ your videos are the absolute best and so are you!! Safe travels and can't wait to see where you end up!
I love solo travel. My first solo trip was to Paris. Now I’ve been to London, all over Italy, Greece, Toronto, Québec, and around the states many times. There’s nothing like solo travel. Now I find it hard to travel with other people. Lol
I went to a music festival by myself and had probably the best weekend of my life. All of these tips apply to going to music fests solo too. It was so nice not having to worry about other people and what they wanted to do. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
I’m actually taking my first over night trip in a couple weeks. I’m 36, a single mom and have been single for the past few years. It’s hard not having someone to travel with so I’ve decided to start doing it alone. I’m only going 2 hours away for 1 night but I’m going to the PA Renaissance faire and I’m super excited to dip my toes in!
I've been solo traveling for the last 5 years and it has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. It is empowering and you learn something about yourself every single time. This video was so informative, thank you for posting.
Great suggestions! You can also get a private room at a hostel. That way you can have the best of both worlds. A room to yourself but still take advantage of social opportunities. (Mingle with fellow travelers & hostel social activities)
To build on the benefits, and tied to what you shared on independence: It's a great way to build on your own sovereignty and sense of self. Learning how to be alone gives you that space to learn who you really are, what's important to you, and who you want to be as a person. Women are taught to be dependent on men and scared of solo travel. Also, many people (not just women) are afraid to be alone. Usually that means there are unresolved things that we're afraid to sit with. That's so understandable and normal- and is robbing us of true fulfillment and happiness.
I've travelled alone many times, and I loved this! My favourite tip of yours is to do food tours, I remember this from a vlog a while back and it's going to be my new travelling alone staple! Another good thing about hostels is they can offer up to date advice on great tours/places to go and safety tips. As a white tourist I've encountered a couple of tourist tricks in a couple of places I've been. These aren't necessarily dangerous, but can make you feel unsafe, so it's good to be aware of them. For example in Bangkok I was told by a Tuk Tuk driver that a certain temple was closed, and he drove to another one much further away that I didn't know of, but didn't say this at the start (and it was untrue). I feel it's also important to acknowledge that safety across the world isn't the same for everyone, including all women. Women of colour, women who identify as trans or non-binary and queer women are not safe everywhere in the same way white women are.
As a fellow female solo traveler, your advice is spot-on! I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I left the country, but all of these tips are things I found along the way that really helped me enjoy the empowerment of doing what *I* wanted to do 💪🏻
I did my first solo travel to Chicago last October. I was so nervous and scared to do it alone but, I ended up having a blast! I definitely am more confident now and hope to go somewhere else soon. Love your videos and tips!
Taylor, I have done solo travelling since 2013 and have created travel documentaries based on my experiences, different villages and people's way of living even if it's in the mountainous region. I cant tell you how proud I am to see how you are blossoming into your authentic self. I can see how lighter the way you carry yourself, as if a lot of burden have been lifted off your shoulder. I am cheering for you and your dreams. I feel at home when I am on the road and at times not many people understood what I meant. Now that traveling is more normalized, traveling alone as a women is a lot easier :-) Lots of love!
I'm starting to do things by myself at 27, starting with going to the movies tomorrow solo for the first time :) thank you for inspiring a lot of us with solo traveling, cant wait till i take a trip by myself soon!
I changed jobs this summer, and now I travel around the country each week. You were a big inspiration for that. Thank you. I’ll be getting your recommended luggage, as soon as it gets back in stock! It seems like someone must have suggested it, because now it’s out of stock. 🧐😊
Going on my first solo trip to Berlin soon for my bday! First time traveling solo without family or study abroad. I’m 19 so it’s my first trip alone. So excited & finally feel like I’m closer to independence 🥰
Great tips! Yes you need to blend in not look like a tourist! My daughter is a flight attendant she’s traveled everywhere. I’ve learned a lot from her! Also your tip about never letting on you’re traveling alone is good as well!
Oh my favorite time of any day is when I get a Taylor notification 😍😍😍. Such fantastic information as someone who’s solo travel to Japan, Turkey, Europe, etc, I concur with all you said. Life is short, live it to your fullest with or without someone
I’m a bit older than you, but started solo traveling about 10 years ago. You hit every important tip and trick that I tell people. I love that you’re encouraging your generation to get out there and do it! Love all your content, stay well!!
love the download google maps idea! I was just about to add that I like to listen to the google map directions with my head phones as I walk. Maybe like you said it's good not to have earbuds in like you said... but in a busy city situation, I prefer to listen to the directions instead of looking down at the map all the time. Not loud music, just the turn left/turn right so I know where to go without looking unsure. Helps me walk with confidence :)
have been strongly considering solo travel recently considering being tired of waiting on other people to make a move with me. this vid came at a great time!!!
Totally living vicariously through YOU lol. I was raised in an entirely different era - I could not imagine leaving the town at your age, let alone the Country?? sounds so lame I know, but I never ate a meal by myself until my 40th birthday!? Yup. Always a safety net and never willing to venture past my comfort zone. Your parents should be very proud of the amazing, confident, self reliant daughter they've raised! Even with your health challenges, you NEVER let anything stop you from living your best life 💕💯 Thank you for allowing us to see the hope that it is possible - for anyone, at any age! 🥰
Oh..... how I hope my daughter takes this beautiful world by storm one day!!!! Such a great video, Taylor!! Fabulous information!! I love my family, but I live for alone time!! Maybe not in solo travel, I hope to travel with my husband, one day!!! But, if I had to, I'd solo travel in an instant!!!! Thanks for all of the great content!! Blessings to you, Taylor!! ✌🏼💚🙏🏼
Nice video, thanks! I do a lot of solo travel for my business (about 1 week every 6-8 weeks). I have found if I want to chat, you can always eat your dinner at the restaurant bar. Most people sit at the bar (even if they don't drink) just to chat. So you can just sit at the restaurant bar to strike up a quick conversation.
I did my first solo holiday a few months ago to Lisbon (I'm from the UK so not too far) and it was partly inspired by you so thank you :) I had a great time and and you're right the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives. Now I'm a lot more confident to solo travel again soon.
I admire you so much Taylor and you do give us courage! I am in my 60's and have never really traveled alone but as you said if we keep waiting on someone to do it with, we will never have the experience. I have been on my own for 15 years and I am tired of waiting for someone to do things with (lol) so this summer I went on a short trip to the beach by myself. I was proud and did feel empowered! Thank you for inspiring all of us and I love seeing where your travels take you! xo Debbie
Same. I am from Australia and had a recent trip to Mexico, Cuba and then finishing in USA. The amount of sketchy/dangerous situations we encountered in USA was just mental.
I am from Iran and agree a hundred percent. I tell people that in Tehran you can walk alone at 3 am and you will still feel safe and they just can’t believe it
Oh please! You probably came here with a victim mentality or scared already. I came to Us from Puerto Rico in 1990 and this country is great. It has certain areas that aren’t so good JUST like ANY other country. Don’t come or live here if you don’t feel safe… 👋
You’re so inspiring!!! After listening to this I feel like I could travel anywhere by myself and be fine. I love watching your videos and all the great things you’re getting to see and experience❤️
I took a solo trip to Spain earlier this year and I loved it! Honestly the best thing I did for myself at the time. I like my own company so I didn't feel lonely at all, it was so freeing to be away from home and to choose exactly what I wanted to do. Of the people I told I was going solo, so many wished they were able to do it and I just say go for it. Don't hold yourself back.
I’ve done a bunch of solo travel in Europe, Asia, and most recently Mexico City. I absolutely love it and I agree with everything you said. Also I noticed as a solo traveler a bunch of people would randomly start talking to me when I’m checking out a restaurant or a bar by myself, and I get adopted into local or other traveling groups. It’s amazing!
I have had to travel for work my entire career, so I faced much of this early on. Taylor is right about it all. I haven’t done any solo international travel, so hats off to her for that!
My first solo trip was a road trip from Phoenix to San Francisco. It was the BEST trip I've ever taken because I was by myself. I did anything and everything I wanted to do. It was so empowering! Learning to be on your own in general opens so many doors and opportunities. My next solo trip is to Tennessee in a few months. Nothing is holding me back from seeing the world 😌
In 2019 I solo traveled to Maine for work several times over the summer and it was such a growing period for myself. Definitely got lonely when I wasn't keeping busy so totally agree, try to stay busy!
I am part way through a solo travel trip out of my home country. Good reminder about avoiding looking lost/confused. I'm going to work on that during the rest of my trip. Thanks for the tips!
I LOVE solo travel. I'm American and I've spent the last 2 months wandering around the UK. Before that I road tripped around the southern US for a month. It took me until I was in my mid 30s to get the courage to travel alone and now I'm addicted.
Love this topic for those of us who are single and don’t have many friends to travel with. Sometimes you just have to go it alone. I solo travel quite a bit and it can be lonely. The key for me is to plan out my days ahead of time, make sure I stay in relatively safe areas, and go in after dinner. Thanks for these tips! Looking forward to my next trip ♥️
I also have been solo traveling since my 20s I'm in my late 50s now. Your right I would never have seen the places I've seen if I waited to travel with others. People have always been amazed that I travel to locations that don't have the best reputation. They have been my best trips. I have met some great friends that I probably would have never met otherwise. Love watching your videos Taylor. Keep traveling
I always wanted to go to Europe by myself and your vlogs have helped me a lot to build confidence to actually do it, thank you so much for the tips! I am already set to do it next year and I probably wouldn't be doing it so soon if I hadn't seen your videos.
Yay! The video I've been waiting for!! I've so many places I want to travel to but my friends and I have different work schedules and a few of them have settled down with a family so they don't travel as much anymore. I always wanted to travel solo but hesitate cuz of different reasons but this video will definitely let me rethink! And these are such helpful tips! Esp the safety tips because safety is one of the reason I am afraid of traveling solo.
I’ve solo traveled a few years now and love it! Now that I’m 31 though the hostel scene isn’t quite the same vibes, but I like the food or walking tours ideas.
As another female solo traveler, I agree with every one of your safety tips. For someone with less tech savvy family members (ie. who don’t use smart phones), I always did a daily check-in email. It could be a longer description of what I did that day, or if I was tired, it might be shorter, but I never missed a daily check-in, and my parents were a little less worried while I was away. I also liked to try to study maps beforehand, in street view where possible, to familiarize myself more with where I was staying, routes to and from public transit stops, etc. Edit: that tip about going into a bathroom stall to figure things out if you’re lost really works and has made me feel more secure.
I have a narc mom and she thinks it’s so weird that I want to travel alone. She’ll even be like “who gave you this idea?! Because you can’t do that!” I’m like go take it up with this TH-camr named Taylor idk she says it’s fine 🤷🏻♀️😂 (to be fair, I do not give a crap what my mom thinks. I haven’t in years. This is just an example of how there are people out there who think it’s weird so I understand why people would be nervous about what others think.) I’m going to be 30 though, and I am finally in this place of confidence. I only have one life to live so I’m going to live it how I want it!
Hey Taylor, I love your videos. I really related to this one. I was pretty sheltered and had not traveled much but about seven years ago, I got a job where I had to travel Mon-Fri. It forced me to adapt and I experienced so much personal growth. I’m more confident and independent and those are traits I never thought I would use to describe myself.
I traveled solo from 2001 to 2013 to concerts, different parts of my country and been to south America. It's just peaceful where you can be in your thoughts. Now I travel with my boyfriend and sometimes friends and family. We try to do things on our own when we can.
I love all of these tips - one more to add on credit cards - carry different types with you (visa, Amex, mastercard, etc.). A lot of European countries don't accept Amex and will only take visa or mastercard (I learned the hard way)
Solo travel is one of my favorite things. It is so freeing and so humbling. I’ve been to Budapest, Tallinn, Krakow, Edinburgh, and Riga alone. It’s amazing. I’ve NEVER felt unsafe. I’m more scared walking my dog alone in Tampa where I live.
I wanted to say you inspired both my husband and I to do Nomad living (since we both work remote). It's been fun exploring places in the US, and your advice for trusted housesitters is fantastic. We've already booked one which will save us a ton of money, plus caring for a cute little dog isn't the worst thing in the world. I love the new direction your channel is taking (tbh makeup videos can get a little bit old due to the oversaturation of the market). And I love how realistic you are with budgeting (even though you are an influencer) when you travel.
i haven’t done solo travel yet (usually just ride plane alone to meet the rest of my family members), but most of the time I had to get things done solo, like eating lunch alone, window shopping or shopping alone. all the tips Taylor has given are really on point. I actually find that doing thing alone sometimes is really nice
Love this video. So many great tips for self travel. I have wanted to take a “Me” trip by have been too scared. Your adventures have given me more motivation to just do it. Thank you for this video
Great tips. I saved this video for when I finally get the money to travel abroad. 😅 I think indefinitely sharing your location with a couple people you trust is also a good idea. That way if anything does happen at least someone has your location or last known location.
Such a great video!! The times I’ve seen you solo travel, I’m filled with a bunch of questions; I would like to ask you but I shy away! Thank you for posting something like this!! 🥰 Taylor, I so want to be you when I grow up!! Lol 😆 - seriously!!
Love your videos! So happy I stumbled upon your channel. I'm about to embark on this lifestyle soon 💫 Fun fact: solo is the masculine version of that word. 'Sola' is for a female 🥰
Good tips, Taylor. I've used basically all of them in the past. Another one I always do is to lock my luggage up before I leave the place I'm staying for the day. You never know who has access to your room, especially if you carry nice or expensive luggage and wear branded goods.
I started solo traveling a few years ago, because I was tired of waiting for plans to line up with others also. It’s very freeing and exciting. I even took your cue and went on a date in Charleston, SC. Loving all your solo travel content! 💚
Excellent tips for people who've never travelled by themselves, and I agree with everything you said! I often had to travel by myself to my work destinations around the world in my 20's, and if you follow your tips (which are what I did), you can't go wrong! Always keep yourself safe, and be aware of your surroundings, and you'll be fine. I'd say to anyone to travel while you're young and unattached if you can. It teaches you SO much about life to visit other countries and cultures, and it's loads of fun! I lived/worked abroad for 6 years, and wouldn't change it for the world! Just go out and do it! 💖💖🏴
I used to solo travel a lot before I got into a long term relationship and I miss it so much. It was always a great experience. And super empowering!! One of the best times of my life. 🥰
Perfect timing. I am an older woman looking to travel to S. Korea. Everyone thinks that I am crazy. So, solo trip it will be. Thank you for the tips!! ❤️
Really good tips I got pick pocketed left n right in Paris I needed these tips when I was clueless and 18. Also I drank around strangers Ny myself n it ended badly over seas. These are very relevant tips. Especially I nolonger say I’m by myself I say my friend is coming or at the hotel
This was such a great video! I was wondering if you had any tips about traveling with health issues? I was comfortable traveling alone but now it feels different. I have head pain, migraines, occasional brain fog and plenty of meds to keep track of. I loved the tip about how to get meds in advance. I was wondering if you have anything else you would like to share?
Yeah I didn't address in this video because it felt more niche, but some things I do:
-always have food incase I get a migraine and can't order/go out to get anything
-always make sure where I'm staying has a water kettle (for hot pack) or freezer if you use ice pack
-try to find one contact (friend of a friend or something) who lives in the country incase of emergency, but that's not always possible so honestly I just cross my fingers and hope I won't need to go to the hospital
-get meds in advance (and also check meds in the country you're in, because a lot of the time, depending on what you need you can actually just buy it cheaper without a prescription in a lot of places)
-I travel at my own pace and don't try to over-pack the itinerary. A lot of the times I cant do *everything* on my list, and miss out on things, but I try not to get frustrated with myself and body and just do what I can!
Also just want to note, at the beginning of my travels I definitely wavered for a couple weeks if I was able to do it or not, and ultimately decided that for me it's worth it to try, and just deal with the shitty situations that may come up. I've definitely gotten a migraine on a train, plane, and other super not ideal situations while by myself but I just try to get to where I'm going and find a bed asap when that happens and hope I don't puke on the road basically. For me, it's been worth it but it can definitely be challenging/intimidating so I understand completely. Best of luck xxx
@@taylorwynn Thank you so much! It’s great to see someone be able to travel with health stuff. I did my first travel in state this summer, with my ten year old and it gave me hope for doing more.
Great video and excellent question and response. Thank you for asking and thank you Taylor for your advice. I have significant health issues and It’s definitely a challenge to travel!
@@tiffanysadlertlc I have gone from able-bodied and super fit to being disabled, and it's a challenge, but very doable to travel with health issues!
If you can't walk far, book wheelchair assistance well before your flight (not on the day), and/or any dietary requirements you may need on the flight for meals.
If you book a wheelchair they'll get you on the plane early, and meet you with a wheelchair at the other end, at the aircraft. Even if you don't need a chair but need assistance, they'll help you with what you need (I'm ex cabin crew).
Always take more meds than you need (I always carry extra, just in case I can't get home when planned).
It just needs a little more planning, and don't be scared to ask someone to help you plan things either! I'm taking my own chair on holiday next week (I can walk, but not far), so that'll be a new experience for me, and give me more freedom while I'm away.
Good luck. You've got this! 💖💖🏴
@@lindatannock thank you so very much! I’m disabled as well now. I hope you’re doing well and your trip is awesome!
I recently left a toxic/abusive relationship. I went on a Solo trip a few days ago. I loved it! I felt so empowered! knowing I can do this, I can be happy doing things alone. I kept thinking of you! Thinking about taking a longer trip soon!
Love it, you go girllll!! Good for you. Sending you love & happy travels.
I did the same thing after my 7 year relationship ended but I left for 5 months and traveled Europe while taking classes. It really does help you through the break up and learning to be alone and love yourself again after a toxic relationship
You got this love! I’m rooting for you!
You got this, Melissa! I’m so glad you did it, it’s incredible how healing solo travel can be and what it can do for your confidence (and soul), right?? Sending you all the good vibes and luck :)
Glad you got out. It gets better. Sounds like you are a good path.
I am right there with you…been traveling by myself for both business and pleasure since I was 26 and I’m 57 now! It is by far the best thing to experience and I always have an amazing time and I’ve never felt unsafe because I’m very aware of my surroundings and as an American I do NOT want to stand out like a sore thumb. I moved to Ireland by myself 21 years ago and plan to retire somewhere in the Mediterranean. It has been life changing and so empowering. Let me know if you ever come to Dublin and want to say hi! Keep doing what you’re doing….it will keep you young and strong and beautiful!
ah thats awesome, good for you!! Ireland is def on my list!
This was so helpful. As a rule I am comfortable being alone but solo travel has been a little intimidating. I just retired and was looking forward to traveling with my husband of 38 years. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly in July. Realistically, I will need to travel solo since as you said there won't always be someone to travel with. I've always been independent so I do believe I can do this but it is definitely out of my comfort zone. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Patricia, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Hopefully you enjoy your time traveling solo, or find a friend or group to travel with. Wishing you many great adventures in the future, as well as healing and comfort in the coming days. Big hugs.❤

Thank you so much. If nothing else I've learned that there are no guaranteed tomorrows so I don't want to delay too long to travel. I certainly thought he had more time and now I am doubting how much time I have left.
I'm so sorry for your loss and grief. ❤️
I’m sorry you lost your husband, travel buddy, etc.
You can DEFINITELY do this! Widows are some of the strongest people I know.
@@LIVEINPEACE2023 Thanks for your vote of confidence!
i absolutely agree with everything in this wonderful video. i have solo travelled to 2 locations (florida and South Korea) and plan on doing more.
as a woman, i feel we are taught to wait for others/do things with others and let others make decisions for us. so once i started traveling solo, i felt extremely empowered. i researched, planned and paid for my own trip all on my own. if i had waited for people to come with me, i would not have gone to south korea at all and would have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity.
i started small, traveling within the US where i’m from (to florida) for a short 4 day weekend to eat at restaurants and sit at the beach. take myself parasailing and go to an aquarium and feed flamingoes.
then i traveled to south korea to see BTS (won a ticket to see them) and explore the country. i didn’t know the language but i chose south kore bc it was rated as one of the safer places for solo female travel, they recently had the olympics there which meant that there would be more major things in english. as a big international city, they have long had english signs for the things you need - train, street signs, airports, major malls. most people know very basic english and if not are very helpful otherwise. in the hanok village, there are “red angels” who wear read and help direct tourists to the village and hand out maps and of course speak english.
what helped me:
- watch 4k street walking videos (for south korea there are youtubers like seoul walker who film a couple of hours just walking around town. this helped me feel like the destination wasn’t so scary and foreign to me, and you can get an idea of what street, metro and traffic signs look like)
- know the addresses of everywhere you’re going (download a waze like app. for south korea, they use naver and it gives you all the details to get right to the front door even on foot!)
- get an international wall outlet port and get a long 6’ cord. every country,s outlet is different and they’re affordable on amazon. make sure yours is sturdy bc you don’t know if the socket is in the wall on flat on the ground
- have the phone number and address for your country,s embassy nearest to your hotel. they can help you in emergencies, that’s what they’re there for
- absolutely agree, walk with purpose. hagglers and stranger dangers won’t bother as much as someone who looks like an easy target
please don’t feel embarrassed about traveling alone. like taylor said, it’s more a reflection of yourself than what other people are thinking. i always applaud people doing their own thing, and people are too busy in their own world to notice if you’re eating by yourself. if you spend all your time waiting for others to join you, you’ll end up missing your opportunity (i have one too many times and now i travel and do most things myself for the freedom of choice and empowerment). if i waited for someone to join me in south korea (especially covid happening a few months after my trip, effectively shutting down the country), i wouldn’t have been able to overlook the seoul7017 bridge at midnight and marvel how i got here all by myself.
safe travels all! the world is beautiful, go explore!
Agree on the “start small” advice. I did my first solo trip to Hawaii (from SoCal so the plane ride wasn’t so long) and it was a great experience
Solo travel is absolutely it. I have really severe generalised anxiety disorder & travelling alone has shown me how brave I can be, & tbh my intrinsic need to plan works very well with travelling alone
I've solo travelled a few times and I have to say I did feel very awkward eating out alone at first, but it was totally the opposite. Most wait staff love solo people, easy to serve and usually tip well. Loved being able to read my book waiting for the food to come out 😊 I'm an introvert with chronic health issues as well so I loved being able to just go back to the hotel and chill if I was too tired or in pain
I did a nearly four week cross-country road trip by myself for my 40th birthday and it was the best gift I ever gave myself. I'm trying to plan a second one in the next year or two to hit the parts of the country that I didn't have time to see (or even drive through) on my first trip. I'm planning a spring trip by myself - no idea where I'm going at this point, but I'm going! Can't wait. 😀 I love to see you taking this journey and encouraging others to explore too! ❤
The Google tips were super important on my trip too - I drove through some very desolate areas and so I had to plan well in advance where to stop for gas and stuff so I never ran out in the desert or something, and it helped my friends and family feel better that they could look at their Google maps and see where I was at any given time, and I felt better knowing that if something ever happened, people would know where to look for me.
I can’t wait until my youngest kid gets a little older and I can solo travel! I enjoy my own company more than anyone else’s so ideal for me!
As someone who is also has chronic pain/illness, I'd love to see a travel video regarding preparing, maintaining, and coping with that. I've really enjoyed watching your nomad life. Looks like so much fun!
I'm on a solo trip right now, feeling so much more confident just doing my own thing. You have inspired me so much with all of your adventures this year 🥰 it's so good to see a woman in her 20s/30s just doing whatever she wants to do.
Hi Taylor! Silent viewer here but I been watching you for 10 years just wanted to say that I love you 💕
aw thank you SO MUCH!!
I just did a solo trip this past weekend and it has made me feel like my old self and confident since moving overseas. I made mistakes but figured it out. It’s crazy how different I felt after doing that.
HA HA! I’m first! 🌻
Short story on traveling alone… I went to Kauai, Hawaii for a week vacation. Fell madly in love, went back home sold everything, 42 days later I moved there and stayed 9 years. Best 9 years of my life! (so far….)
ah that's awesome!!!
Love you Taylor!! I'm literally living through you with your solo travel experience and lifestyle these days. I'm a long time subscriber of yours (about 7 years now) and I love seeing you grow ❤️ your videos are the absolute best and so are you!! Safe travels and can't wait to see where you end up!
aw thanks so much for watching for so long!!
I love solo travel. My first solo trip was to Paris. Now I’ve been to London, all over Italy, Greece, Toronto, Québec, and around the states many times. There’s nothing like solo travel. Now I find it hard to travel with other people. Lol
Hi there! Do you have any tips for traveling to London, I am considering planning a solo trip in December!
Woooow download the maps🤯🤯🤯 such good tips dude !!!
I went to a music festival by myself and had probably the best weekend of my life. All of these tips apply to going to music fests solo too. It was so nice not having to worry about other people and what they wanted to do. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
I’m actually taking my first over night trip in a couple weeks. I’m 36, a single mom and have been single for the past few years. It’s hard not having someone to travel with so I’ve decided to start doing it alone. I’m only going 2 hours away for 1 night but I’m going to the PA Renaissance faire and I’m super excited to dip my toes in!
I hope you have a great time and this is a springboard for more quality time with yourself!
I hope you have fun!!
I hope you had a great time!
I've been solo traveling for the last 5 years and it has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. It is empowering and you learn something about yourself every single time. This video was so informative, thank you for posting.
Great suggestions! You can also get a private room at a hostel. That way you can have the best of both worlds. A room to yourself but still take advantage of social opportunities. (Mingle with fellow travelers & hostel social activities)
yeah that's what I did last time!
To build on the benefits, and tied to what you shared on independence: It's a great way to build on your own sovereignty and sense of self. Learning how to be alone gives you that space to learn who you really are, what's important to you, and who you want to be as a person. Women are taught to be dependent on men and scared of solo travel. Also, many people (not just women) are afraid to be alone. Usually that means there are unresolved things that we're afraid to sit with. That's so understandable and normal- and is robbing us of true fulfillment and happiness.
I've travelled alone many times, and I loved this! My favourite tip of yours is to do food tours, I remember this from a vlog a while back and it's going to be my new travelling alone staple!
Another good thing about hostels is they can offer up to date advice on great tours/places to go and safety tips. As a white tourist I've encountered a couple of tourist tricks in a couple of places I've been. These aren't necessarily dangerous, but can make you feel unsafe, so it's good to be aware of them. For example in Bangkok I was told by a Tuk Tuk driver that a certain temple was closed, and he drove to another one much further away that I didn't know of, but didn't say this at the start (and it was untrue).
I feel it's also important to acknowledge that safety across the world isn't the same for everyone, including all women. Women of colour, women who identify as trans or non-binary and queer women are not safe everywhere in the same way white women are.
I looooveee eating by myself and shopping by myself. Sometimes at work I invent issues to avoid invitation to lunch.
As a fellow female solo traveler, your advice is spot-on! I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I left the country, but all of these tips are things I found along the way that really helped me enjoy the empowerment of doing what *I* wanted to do 💪🏻
I did my first solo travel to Chicago last October. I was so nervous and scared to do it alone but, I ended up having a blast! I definitely am more confident now and hope to go somewhere else soon. Love your videos and tips!
Taylor, I have done solo travelling since 2013 and have created travel documentaries based on my experiences, different villages and people's way of living even if it's in the mountainous region.
I cant tell you how proud I am to see how you are blossoming into your authentic self. I can see how lighter the way you carry yourself, as if a lot of burden have been lifted off your shoulder. I am cheering for you and your dreams. I feel at home when I am on the road and at times not many people understood what I meant. Now that traveling is more normalized, traveling alone as a women is a lot easier :-) Lots of love!
I'm starting to do things by myself at 27, starting with going to the movies tomorrow solo for the first time :) thank you for inspiring a lot of us with solo traveling, cant wait till i take a trip by myself soon!
I have absolutely no desire to solo travel, yet here I am watching the entire video. If you are ready to solo travel, this video is a great resource.
I changed jobs this summer, and now I travel around the country each week. You were a big inspiration for that. Thank you. I’ll be getting your recommended luggage, as soon as it gets back in stock! It seems like someone must have suggested it, because now it’s out of stock. 🧐😊
Going on my first solo trip to Berlin soon for my bday! First time traveling solo without family or study abroad. I’m 19 so it’s my first trip alone. So excited & finally feel like I’m closer to independence 🥰
Great tips! Yes you need to blend in not look like a tourist! My daughter is a flight attendant she’s traveled everywhere. I’ve learned a lot from her! Also your tip about never letting on you’re traveling alone is good as well!
Oh my favorite time of any day is when I get a Taylor notification 😍😍😍. Such fantastic information as someone who’s solo travel to Japan, Turkey, Europe, etc, I concur with all you said. Life is short, live it to your fullest with or without someone
I’m a bit older than you, but started solo traveling about 10 years ago. You hit every important tip and trick that I tell people. I love that you’re encouraging your generation to get out there and do it! Love all your content, stay well!!
A lot of these tips can be used when you’re not traveling too. Good tips!!
love the download google maps idea! I was just about to add that I like to listen to the google map directions with my head phones as I walk. Maybe like you said it's good not to have earbuds in like you said... but in a busy city situation, I prefer to listen to the directions instead of looking down at the map all the time. Not loud music, just the turn left/turn right so I know where to go without looking unsure. Helps me walk with confidence :)
I do the same thing - and I wear one airpod at a time on transparency mode! Keeps me from feeling like I might be followed 💕
just came across your channel and this was such a helpful video! will definitely have to re watch and take some notes💯
have been strongly considering solo travel recently considering being tired of waiting on other people to make a move with me. this vid came at a great time!!!
The greatest thing about traveling solo is doing what you want to do. Great video
Totally living vicariously through YOU lol. I was raised in an entirely different era - I could not imagine leaving the town at your age, let alone the Country?? sounds so lame I know, but I never ate a meal by myself until my 40th birthday!? Yup. Always a safety net and never willing to venture past my comfort zone. Your parents should be very proud of the amazing, confident, self reliant daughter they've raised! Even with your health challenges, you NEVER let anything stop you from living your best life 💕💯 Thank you for allowing us to see the hope that it is possible - for anyone, at any age! 🥰
Oh..... how I hope my daughter takes this beautiful world by storm one day!!!! Such a great video, Taylor!! Fabulous information!! I love my family, but I live for alone time!! Maybe not in solo travel, I hope to travel with my husband, one day!!! But, if I had to, I'd solo travel in an instant!!!! Thanks for all of the great content!! Blessings to you, Taylor!! ✌🏼💚🙏🏼
Nice video, thanks!
I do a lot of solo travel for my business (about 1 week every 6-8 weeks).
I have found if I want to chat, you can always eat your dinner at the restaurant bar. Most people sit at the bar (even if they don't drink) just to chat. So you can just sit at the restaurant bar to strike up a quick conversation.
I did my first solo holiday a few months ago to Lisbon (I'm from the UK so not too far) and it was partly inspired by you so thank you :) I had a great time and and you're right the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives. Now I'm a lot more confident to solo travel again soon.
I admire you so much Taylor and you do give us courage! I am in my 60's and have never really traveled alone but as you said if we keep waiting on someone to do it with, we will never have the experience. I have been on my own for 15 years and I am tired of waiting for someone to do things with (lol) so this summer I went on a short trip to the beach by myself. I was proud and did feel empowered! Thank you for inspiring all of us and I love seeing where your travels take you! xo Debbie
i've been to 20 countries in Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America, and the most unsafe i've felt was in the USA.
Agreed.
Same. I am from Australia and had a recent trip to Mexico, Cuba and then finishing in USA. The amount of sketchy/dangerous situations we encountered in USA was just mental.
I am from Iran and agree a hundred percent. I tell people that in Tehran you can walk alone at 3 am and you will still feel safe and they just can’t believe it
😂🙄🙄
Oh please! You probably came here with a victim mentality or scared already. I came to Us from Puerto Rico in 1990 and this country is great. It has certain areas that aren’t so good JUST like ANY other country. Don’t come or live here if you don’t feel safe… 👋
You’re so inspiring!!! After listening to this I feel like I could travel anywhere by myself and be fine. I love watching your videos and all the great things you’re getting to see and experience❤️
I took a solo trip to Spain earlier this year and I loved it! Honestly the best thing I did for myself at the time. I like my own company so I didn't feel lonely at all, it was so freeing to be away from home and to choose exactly what I wanted to do. Of the people I told I was going solo, so many wished they were able to do it and I just say go for it. Don't hold yourself back.
I’ve done a bunch of solo travel in Europe, Asia, and most recently Mexico City. I absolutely love it and I agree with everything you said. Also I noticed as a solo traveler a bunch of people would randomly start talking to me when I’m checking out a restaurant or a bar by myself, and I get adopted into local or other traveling groups. It’s amazing!
I just love your videos! Would love to be able to travel and see more of the world. Love that you get to do this!
Ahhh Taylor I am soooo excited to watch this. So proud of you Hun!!
This is amazing information. I love your travel videos!
I just returned from a solo trip to Costa Rica. Plenty to see and do and lots of guided tours of you don’t want to be alone alone
Your makeup in this video is STUNNING! I need details Taylor plz 😩😍
Appreciate the video, leaving for my first solo trip in a few days. Great tips, you’re a bad b. Love the encouragement!! ❤️❤️❤️
Solo traveler here! I tow my trailer often by myself and camp solo. I love it! Good tips!
Thanks for the video! These are super helpful and important tips! I wish you all the best for your next solo travel adventure 😊
I’ve been hoping for this video for a long time!!! Love!!!
Yayyyy!
Just did my first solo trip so I'm so glad to see this video!
I have had to travel for work my entire career, so I faced much of this early on. Taylor is right about it all. I haven’t done any solo international travel, so hats off to her for that!
My first solo trip was a road trip from Phoenix to San Francisco. It was the BEST trip I've ever taken because I was by myself. I did anything and everything I wanted to do. It was so empowering! Learning to be on your own in general opens so many doors and opportunities. My next solo trip is to Tennessee in a few months. Nothing is holding me back from seeing the world 😌
In 2019 I solo traveled to Maine for work several times over the summer and it was such a growing period for myself. Definitely got lonely when I wasn't keeping busy so totally agree, try to stay busy!
I am part way through a solo travel trip out of my home country. Good reminder about avoiding looking lost/confused. I'm going to work on that during the rest of my trip. Thanks for the tips!
ALWAYS trust your gut. Your gut NEVER lies. Great video Taylor ❤️😘🇨🇦
I LOVE solo travel. I'm American and I've spent the last 2 months wandering around the UK. Before that I road tripped around the southern US for a month. It took me until I was in my mid 30s to get the courage to travel alone and now I'm addicted.
Yes everyone I’ve EVER said I am alone on my trip is admiration.
I did my first solo trip from Seattle to Vancouver, BC and I felt like a bad bxtch 😂 10/10 recommend an “easy” solo trip starting out
Very helpful and informative. Admire your sense of adventure.
SUCH perfect timing. Thanks Taylor. 🙌
I love when you wear super bright colors - pops against your black hair and black cat eye, like in the thumbnail 😍
Love this topic for those of us who are single and don’t have many friends to travel with. Sometimes you just have to go it alone. I solo travel quite a bit and it can be lonely. The key for me is to plan out my days ahead of time, make sure I stay in relatively safe areas, and go in after dinner. Thanks for these tips! Looking forward to my next trip ♥️
I also have been solo traveling since my 20s I'm in my late 50s now. Your right I would never have seen the places I've seen if I waited to travel with others. People have always been amazed that I travel to locations that don't have the best reputation. They have been my best trips. I have met some great friends that I probably would have never met otherwise. Love watching your videos Taylor. Keep traveling
Such a great, helpful video! Even for non-solo travelers, these tips are good, like not looking like tourists.
I always wanted to go to Europe by myself and your vlogs have helped me a lot to build confidence to actually do it, thank you so much for the tips! I am already set to do it next year and I probably wouldn't be doing it so soon if I hadn't seen your videos.
Yay! The video I've been waiting for!! I've so many places I want to travel to but my friends and I have different work schedules and a few of them have settled down with a family so they don't travel as much anymore. I always wanted to travel solo but hesitate cuz of different reasons but this video will definitely let me rethink! And these are such helpful tips! Esp the safety tips because safety is one of the reason I am afraid of traveling solo.
I love solo traveling! There is so much independence/freedom to do things on your own time.
I’ve solo traveled a few years now and love it! Now that I’m 31 though the hostel scene isn’t quite the same vibes, but I like the food or walking tours ideas.
As another female solo traveler, I agree with every one of your safety tips. For someone with less tech savvy family members (ie. who don’t use smart phones), I always did a daily check-in email. It could be a longer description of what I did that day, or if I was tired, it might be shorter, but I never missed a daily check-in, and my parents were a little less worried while I was away.
I also liked to try to study maps beforehand, in street view where possible, to familiarize myself more with where I was staying, routes to and from public transit stops, etc.
Edit: that tip about going into a bathroom stall to figure things out if you’re lost really works and has made me feel more secure.
I have a narc mom and she thinks it’s so weird that I want to travel alone. She’ll even be like “who gave you this idea?! Because you can’t do that!” I’m like go take it up with this TH-camr named Taylor idk she says it’s fine 🤷🏻♀️😂 (to be fair, I do not give a crap what my mom thinks. I haven’t in years. This is just an example of how there are people out there who think it’s weird so I understand why people would be nervous about what others think.) I’m going to be 30 though, and I am finally in this place of confidence. I only have one life to live so I’m going to live it how I want it!
We need a Taylor Tour Group! Love all your videos so much!
Hey Taylor, I love your videos. I really related to this one. I was pretty sheltered and had not traveled much but about seven years ago, I got a job where I had to travel Mon-Fri. It forced me to adapt and I experienced so much personal growth. I’m more confident and independent and those are traits I never thought I would use to describe myself.
Day 1 solo traveling in New York, loving it! I can go anywhere I want without worrying anything
I really loved the practical tips like downloading maps and joining the Facebook groups - things I hadn’t even thought of. Thanks so much!
I traveled solo from 2001 to 2013 to concerts, different parts of my country and been to south America. It's just peaceful where you can be in your thoughts. Now I travel with my boyfriend and sometimes friends and family. We try to do things on our own when we can.
what a great Life cheerleader you are in this video! thank you
I love all of these tips - one more to add on credit cards - carry different types with you (visa, Amex, mastercard, etc.). A lot of European countries don't accept Amex and will only take visa or mastercard (I learned the hard way)
Solo travel is one of my favorite things. It is so freeing and so humbling. I’ve been to Budapest, Tallinn, Krakow, Edinburgh, and Riga alone. It’s amazing. I’ve NEVER felt unsafe. I’m more scared walking my dog alone in Tampa where I live.
I wanted to say you inspired both my husband and I to do Nomad living (since we both work remote). It's been fun exploring places in the US, and your advice for trusted housesitters is fantastic. We've already booked one which will save us a ton of money, plus caring for a cute little dog isn't the worst thing in the world. I love the new direction your channel is taking (tbh makeup videos can get a little bit old due to the oversaturation of the market). And I love how realistic you are with budgeting (even though you are an influencer) when you travel.
i haven’t done solo travel yet (usually just ride plane alone to meet the rest of my family members), but most of the time I had to get things done solo, like eating lunch alone, window shopping or shopping alone. all the tips Taylor has given are really on point. I actually find that doing thing alone sometimes is really nice
Love this video. So many great tips for self travel. I have wanted to take a “Me” trip by have been too scared. Your adventures have given me more motivation to just do it. Thank you for this video
Great tips. I saved this video for when I finally get the money to travel abroad. 😅 I think indefinitely sharing your location with a couple people you trust is also a good idea. That way if anything does happen at least someone has your location or last known location.
You are such a great role model. GREAT GREAT INSIGHTS!!
Such a great video!! The times I’ve seen you solo travel, I’m filled with a bunch of questions; I would like to ask you but I shy away! Thank you for posting something like this!! 🥰
Taylor, I so want to be you when I grow up!! Lol 😆 - seriously!!
Love your videos! So happy I stumbled upon your channel. I'm about to embark on this lifestyle soon 💫
Fun fact: solo is the masculine version of that word. 'Sola' is for a female 🥰
Good tips, Taylor. I've used basically all of them in the past. Another one I always do is to lock my luggage up before I leave the place I'm staying for the day. You never know who has access to your room, especially if you carry nice or expensive luggage and wear branded goods.
I started solo traveling a few years ago, because I was tired of waiting for plans to line up with others also. It’s very freeing and exciting. I even took your cue and went on a date in Charleston, SC. Loving all your solo travel content! 💚
Excellent tips for people who've never travelled by themselves, and I agree with everything you said!
I often had to travel by myself to my work destinations around the world in my 20's, and if you follow your tips (which are what I did), you can't go wrong!
Always keep yourself safe, and be aware of your surroundings, and you'll be fine.
I'd say to anyone to travel while you're young and unattached if you can. It teaches you SO much about life to visit other countries and cultures, and it's loads of fun! I lived/worked abroad for 6 years, and wouldn't change it for the world! Just go out and do it! 💖💖🏴
I used to solo travel a lot before I got into a long term relationship and I miss it so much. It was always a great experience. And super empowering!! One of the best times of my life. 🥰
Perfect timing. I am an older woman looking to travel to S. Korea. Everyone thinks that I am crazy. So, solo trip it will be. Thank you for the tips!! ❤️
Really good tips I got pick pocketed left n right in Paris I needed these tips when I was clueless and 18. Also I drank around strangers Ny myself n it ended badly over seas. These are very relevant tips. Especially I nolonger say I’m by myself I say my friend is coming or at the hotel
