One of the biggest challenges of traveling solo is actually making the decision to go- to book your flight and pack your bag. Adopt a secure and open posture when you go out and explore.

Talk at an appropriate volume.
When you think of solo travel, what comes to mind? There are always plenty of things to remember to do before, during, and after your travels. My hope is that having some advice and encouragement from pro travelers will give you the confidence you need to step out on your own and explore the world, whether or not you have a travel companion by your side!
Here are a few bits of wisdom I picked up along the way. Do whatever you want, without worry about what other people expect you to be doing. If you want to sleep, sleep. No one, even someone with solo travel experience, can tell you how this trip is going to go.
