Some of us are made to wonder more than others. Some of us have that inner need to discover, experiment and live outside the boundaries imposed by our own limitations. And some of us don't, and that is ok. However, what happens when you are with someone who doesn't have your same views on wandering and discovering the world?
Do we compromise? Do we travel solo? Or do we forever give up on our dreams? I love traveling solo. It can be a unique and fulfilling experience guided by self-discovery and adventure. You do have to push your limits, be open minded, not afraid of trying, of asking for directions, of putting yourself out there.
Safety Traveling Solo Tips:
1. Make sure you have all your documentation at hand, plus a pen. (pens are important)
2. Travel light, you will have to carry your own suitcase/bags at al times.
3. Don't go to places you aren't sure of going. Safety first.
4. Do your research before you travel. Make sure you know where to go and how to get there. Carry a map! (there's an app for that)
5. If you are traveling to a country and you don't speak the language make sure you prepare yourself. Know the basics, download an app, carry a dictionary.
6. Carry an emergency contact info, just in case.
7. Carry mints or gum.
8. Never trust your belongings to anyone, carry with you at all times. This goes to your camera or phone too. Rely of selfie sticks and camera timers.
9. You might want to have a small first aid kit. Include bandaids, headache, and stomachache pills.
10. Have fun! Explore! The world is an oyster!
However, traveling solo isn't for everyone. Also, it is only normal you might want to take your sweetheart with you and share every single minute of your adventures. Because you really know you love someone when you want them to travel with you. It is also the ultimate test, if you can stand them during the entirety of your trip you can be pretty safe you can stand a lifetime with this person.
