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 )
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.
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.

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’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 :)
@@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
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.
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.
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.
I’m planning to go in November this year, did you have a plan going out travelling because I feel I just want to wing it but don’t want to go and then not do anything because I didn’t plan correctly
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
"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.

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.

Guesthouses are the best! I got to teach the kids who lived in one in Nusa Lembongan how to swim. Cutest family EVER!
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!

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.
Thank you ❤
@6:23 having to take my shoe off to pay the waiter 🙂
You were nice!
Great tips but the first thing got asked is where is onward ticket so cant be that spontaneous.
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 😅😊😮
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?
What shoe is that?
It’s called Tropicfeel shoe they are great!
Do you think to come Turkey? I think you like it .🙂
ANY VIDEO RECOMMENDATIONS OR REQUESTS LET ME KNOW be more then happy to do them! 🤟🏻😊
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.
What camera do you use ?
I use a Sony A7iii

How did it go?
@ I’m actually leaving today haha
6:27 is that Malaysian RM 5 ?
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
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
From Thailand 🙂
Can I take a comedy class instead..solo travel can wait🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think you might have forgotten to add that Facebook group link in the description :(
Going solo to london. Any tips would help
Stay away from Peckham 😂
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🙈
Does the facebook group not exist anymore?
What if you snore in a hostal?
Ear plugs
I have the apprehension of not being able to communicate/ speak the language of where I travel to.
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
And if they rob your shoes? Hahha
Then your in big trouble!!!
Wanna travel with u
Stay in a hostel is a "hack"? Come on.
Yeah I never stay in hostels! They are buzzin
Hotels are the way forward
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
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
