Life hacks for girls who are ready to travel alone
Why Traveling Alone Is Cool
And it’s totally normal! We’ve counted at least five features of a “solo” vacation that will only improve your trip.
No need to adjust to others
If you’re traveling with a group, you’ll have to spend a lot of time and effort finding compromises. The problems start at the planning stage of the trip. After all, combining the vacations of several people is a super-difficult task, as is choosing accommodation that will suit everyone.
When traveling, every day you have to solve a whole bunch of questions: how to get around – on foot or by transport, what to see, where to have lunch and what time to start the day. The latter is especially important if your biorhythms differ from those of your girlfriend or boyfriend. Getting up at 8 am to go to the beach if you’re a night owl, or waiting until lunch for everyone else to wake up if you’re an early bird – that’s a challenge. If you’re traveling alone, you can forget about all these problems.
You can choose any route you want
Firstly, you don’t need to come up with activities that would be interesting to everyone. Whether you love modern art galleries, walking through old cemeteries, or shopping in local shops and markets, do what you like and enjoy the trip.
Secondly, you choose the pace of the trip yourself. You can spend hours walking around one monument or visit all the main attractions of the city in a day. By the way, it’s better to choose what you want to see in advance. Then you can find great accommodation in a convenient area near the most interesting places.
It’s easier to give up on plans if you change your mind
You wanted to spend the whole day on an excursion, but in the morning you decided that it would be better to lie on the beach – do it. No one will dissuade you or look at you reproachfully. If you are not in the mood, you can sit in your room all day with a book, beauty rituals or even watching TV series on your smartphone. And you will definitely not hear a word about wasting your vacation.
You can find new acquaintances
If you get bored, meet new people: somewhere on the street, in a cafe, bar or special mobile applications. They can become good company for the evening, for the duration of the vacation or your friends for a long time. The main thing is to exercise reasonable caution with new people.
In any case, you will still have connections in other cities or even countries, and this is always useful: you will come there on a trip and will be able to ask them for help.
