SOLO TRAVEL MISTAKES TO AVOID ON YOUR FIRST SOLO TRIP

Excellent video and still valid today, the first tip is a must

I thinking of Going to Vancouver is it Safe for 3 Weeks solo

Thank you for this video. I agree abt the gut feeling. Not dissing men, all genders would have intuition to a degree, but in my family of four, only me and my mother follow our guts, even though we end up being told that we are paranoid by my dad and brother.

Thank you!!

2:30 I LOL’D so hard bc the first time I traveled in years to Seattle, I literally left my laptop during the TSA check and pretty much walked off before the TSA guy lifted it into the air and asked if it belonged to someone. Of course, I turn around thinking it’s someone else’s problem, and it was mine 😂, it was my problem 😭 my dad laughed at me and said “you can never travel alone”… but yes, so easy to loose belongs when you travel. Pack light and triple check!!!

Thank you.

EXCELLENT video – thank you for sharing!❤

Would it be okay to take pictures of yourself with a tripod would that look normal to locals 😭 or make you at risk for crime

I am curious. Have you done trips to Pigeon Forge alone?

Can you please talk about what you do for fun during your solo trips

I'm a female traveler and i do all these things even when I'm with my husband. Because I'm very just overly cautious. These are very good tips

This video makes me so sad, how much privilege I have traveling alone as a white man.

This video was so helpful, a lot of the stuff on the list I knew what to do and not to do, but your energy just made me so much more confident to do a solo trip so thank you so much

Incredibly good points. I strongly agree on always prioritising your safety despite sometimes not wanting to seem rude for a reason or another. Your safety is way above other peoples emotions. Stay safe ladies

Doing my first solo trip for my 30th birthday and I couldn’t be more excited!

How about meeting other travellers or people at the hostel I want to connect with? Do I still lie about travelling alone? Obviously if I get a weird vibe from them I‘d lie. But what do I tell people from the same hostel? They will know that I am at least in staying alone at that hostel.
Would love to hear anyone’s opinion 🙂

That Mac story seems to happen a lot. Yikes.

I once left my work laptop in an airport bathroom. I freaked out and started crying but luckily for me it was still there 😂

I love traveling alone and PREFER it. I want to move organically through a place and be able to experience the people, the culture, and all the sensory things unique to an area. Having other people with me is distracting. I also don't want everything to have to be aa democratic discussion over how long we stay somewhere, what we do, whether we accept an invitation from a local or check out something we spot while there, etc. I want to be fully free to guide my experience according to my travel preferences. The only way I'd enjoy having someone with me more than being myself is if their travel style is exactly like mine. The only thing that sucks is that being female makes certain parts of the world that I really want to experience off-limits to me because of safety. Otherwise I'd love to see Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, and N. Africa.

Spot on advice! Ice also been solo travelling for a few years now maybe 6/7 and this is great advice.
