Excellent tips.
Solo travel when young, yes definitely stay in hostels, I agree. I met many people the world over who have remained my friends for life and this has also meant other of places to stay for free too.
As I've got older, I love my guest house room and being able to shut out other travellers!
I have also found as I'm now an older female that I'm largely invisible ( it's a thing the world over we over 50s know well) and I rarely get hassled any more. In fact I'm more likely to be offered help, it's honestly liberating. Vive La Wrinkles!
I've travelled solo for 35 years. It's forces me to be outgoing, confident and highly organised, none of which comes naturally to me.
Biggest tips for women solo travellers:
1. Dress respecting the local culture that you are, after all, there to experience. A tan will come, you don't actually need to flash your tits n vagazzle in the middle of downtown Hanoi or Nairobi.
2. If your gut is telling you it doesn't feel right to go somewhere, trust that instinct, it is usually spot on. I learnt this one the hard way and definitely have had some close calls.
3. Hide money like he suggested, I totally agree with him. Your bra is such a good place to slip money into! Or sew a pocket inside the leg of pants, or inside jacket lining. I've even sewn a pocket onto knickers! .. just remember to take the money out before washing!.. I even know someone who went a step further using a condom and her ..."imagination"!
The world is incredible, I hope you get to experience it again soon.
Doing my first backpack trip in less than 3 months and I'm over 50 😁
Also a knife if you were ever to be held at knife/hun point. You never know what people will do for a fake £15 gold ring.
Same..as a 40+ solo traveller I really need a room of my own to shut the door and close out the world.
Only hassle or solo travelling…costs can be sometimes high! when catching a taxi or vehicle on my own or booking some kind of experience…it can pinch the pocket.
@@VoiAhoyTV or just give them the ring?
Solo travel is way much better than any other travel because of freedom, as for money I use 2 wallets, 1- the broke wallet I keep low money for a day and recharge, 2- the second wallet has credit cards etc and never leaves the safebox at the hotel, it's always good and always works, whenever anything happens you can just say ( it's my last day I spent all my money )

Very informative video Joel, just putting this here for the ease of use. 🙂
Tip nr 8: Never show your real time location on social media, keep at least a few hours/1 day between posts for some security. Or at least be aware of the risk of tracking.
Thanks for the timestamps
Good tips. Can’t wait to get out there traveling again
Your advices and sharings are so GOOD👍🏼
This type of videos is so helpful for people that want to travel. I hope you keep doing them.
Aww thank you, I hope I’m helping people out!
Can I get a are for $500?
Hey bro just found you today and really pleased we have your videos are awesome bro. Fantastic editing skills and great footage bro. Thanks so much for your hints and advice on travel. Stay safe and catch up again real soon. Remember Spread and share the love in these difficult times.
Guesthouses are the best! I got to teach the kids who lived in one in Nusa Lembongan how to swim. Cutest family EVER!
Great vid. Love your vibe
Thanks man!
Another great video Bro
So helpful video nice job🙏
My guy loved this 🤟🏻
Subbed, your a genuine guy
This is great. Im planning on going to the usa for 6 months backpacking, around the whole (or as much as i can) of the usa. Its my first time going overseas, and im sure your tips are gonna work out great for me.
Not the hostile part lol. Get your own room
Hahahahaha "Not only do you sleep with the same people" - another episode of what your mum didn't know about your travels. 😂
I’m travelling solo this year for the first time but Im mostly worried about getting food. Like I know it’s going to feel so weird and awkward for me to be sitting in a restaurant by myself. I plan on getting some street food sometimes so I can sort of find a spot to eat somewhere in the town. But there will be times when I need to eat at the hotel restaurant to save money
My advice for eating alone as a solo traveler: Always bring a book! It feels far less awkward than just scrolling through your phone. Sometimes people will even approach me and ask what I’m reading :)
@@amybourmatnov3739 I like that! That's a good one, thanks
@@amybourmatnov3739 but you have a boyfriend how do you travel alone ?
@@amybourmatnov3739I think it’s about me having fun
So I would listen to what ever I want and keep my mind free and feeling these expensive years of my life
@@amybourmatnov3739because you are a girl duh

Travel essential equipment video is gona be cool.Like what inside of my travel backpack.
Love your videos!
Please could you possibly do a video saying the must visit places in Southeast Asia to see and do. Maybe even a hidden gems bit too and what you regret not doing/ seeing.
Lol, you’re lovely, and very funny.
U r a cool Guy, keep making vidz man
Ahaha thanks man!!
Me personally I tried a hostel once in Paris but it made me realise I don’t like it and I didn’t feel comfortable. The next best option is Airbnb and if you’re lucky you will be with a interactive and friendly host. The hiding money tip is great.
A big city like that hostel has a different vibe than in a more rural area. Some air bnb are cheap if you book in advance and solo room can be better or worse
I am preparing to travel Philippines my own country this april wish me luck and thank you for thos helpful advise love you bro
We may be in the Philippines in April we aren’t 100% sure yet though
I'm a lifelong follower.
6:27 is that Malaysian RM 5 ?
Love your videos not sure about the camera angle at the start tho 😂. If you are looking for someone to travel with ever let me know
Cool video🤩 Very useful tips!
Can you maybe put a link of the wing it gravel group in your bio? I can’t find it on Facebook🙈
Going solo to london. Any tips would help
Stay away from Peckham 😂
From Thailand 🙂
@6:23 having to take my shoe off to pay the waiter 🙂
Does the facebook group not exist anymore?
Do you think to come Turkey? I think you like it .🙂
What shoe is that?
It’s called Tropicfeel shoe they are great!
Hey bro, what was the most common age range of people you met travelling? Like 18-26?
Yeah most people were 18-26 I’d say obviously get some older travellers in late 20s and 30s but mostly 18-26
@@Joelfriend Ah cool cheers.
Can I take a comedy class instead..solo travel can wait🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What camera do you use ?
I use a Sony A7iii
@@Joelfriend cheers
I always do solo traveling... I don't like hostels, tho.
When I need company I do tours (tripadvisor, viator) and of course there is Grindr 😉
Is grindr helpful?
None of my friends can come with me overseas so trying to build courage to go solo
Haha me 2.... I'm afraid of traveling abroad even though I have done a shit ton of solo in my own country
I think you might have forgotten to add that Facebook group link in the description :(
Take care for ur next solo trip coz thieves already saw ur video and find it that u r keeping money in ur shoes 😂😂😂 so be carefull 😅😊😮
Wanna travel with u
What if you snore in a hostal?
Ear plugs
Good to know but I don’t think I could travel alone
We can, you just need to have courage to go out of your comfort zone... I am going out this april although not straightforward but I need to get somewhere nearby until i can go further, go for it bro
I have the apprehension of not being able to communicate/ speak the language of where I travel to.
And if they rob your shoes? Hahha
Then your in big trouble!!!
I couldn't hear any tips :)
I wouldnt live in Hostel even if you would pay me 💀
No one will force you so you will be okay
How about Airbnb?
Airbnb tend to be more expensive, unless your in a group
Haha 3:03
Stay in a hostel is a "hack"? Come on.
Yeah I never stay in hostels! They are buzzin
Hotels are the way forward
What if you got no job?lol and you accounts are hacked,only got yourself:solo and any passerby you meet? And also survival tips lol
interesting but please increase your volume of voice or use a better mic
His volume is just fine
Use a money belt under your clothes
"stay in hostels and sleep in the same room as other people" is one of the stupidest advices to follow if you're a woman. Definitely never do that. Always make sure you have your own room and that the room has a lock.
...and a pair of alarmed door stoppers AND a safety door latch (from bunnings).
