“It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially molded by whom we are with, we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others…Being closely observed by a companion can inhibit us from observing others; we become taken up with adjusting ourselves to the companion’s questions and remarks, we have to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.” ~ Alain de Botton
“I am never happier than when I am alone in a foreign city; it is as if I had become invisible.” ~ Storm Jameson

Solo Travelers
This short travel quote pretty much sums up my life for the past 5 years…
“I was never going to go if I waited for someone to come with me.” ~ Anonymous
Of course, I love travel adventures with my friends and family, but they aren’t always available. I’ve been to places with some great travelers and some not-so-great travelers but the WORST was not going at all because I didn’t have a travel buddy.
PLEASE don’t miss out on new experiences if the only thing that is holding you back is a travel partner.
I don’t do that anymore. I’ve found some great safety items, I grab my Airpods, put on some music, and I travel solo. Especially if you are a female traveler… the first time it’s really weird. The hardest part is that first time. Then, the more you do it the more you become confident in traveling solo.
