Traveling solo can be an incredibly rewarding experience. When one travels fully on their own, they have the ability to listen to their own intuition fully when deciding what to do, and when exactly to do it. There are opportunities to be more present, without distractions of others, and fully in the zone of experiencing the sights, smells, and feelings in front of you.There are also more organic opportunities to talk to others and make connections, but, there are of course increased risks. The unfortunate side of traveling solo is that it is not always the safest of decisions. If you still are going to hike alone, though, then follow these 5 tips on traveling solo.
- Research your destinations in advance.
- Research your travel accommodations in advance.
- Tell a loved one (the more, the better) your travel details.
- Stay in safe, uncomfortable places that will allow you to rest peacefully.
- Download offline maps so that you can still navigate safely without service.
