]]> If you’re planning a daunting solo trip, you may be concerned about an imminent lack of social interaction. Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered with a few ideas on how to make friends while abroad. You might even be surprised at how easy it is and all the amazing connections you will make along the way.

Hostel Stays

Hostel stays are a tried and true way to make friends while abroad. Whether you book a private room or a shared dorm, there is no shortage of interesting people to speak to. You might even find that you have similar interests and engage in activities together or continue traveling together! Hostels are budget friendly oasis’s to meet people, save money, and stay in central places.

Book Tours

Group tours are another great way to meet people, as you already find that you have common interests! Whether you keep in touch or not, this is a sure way to meet people and learn their life stories. Check out local tours that your hostel may offer and get a group together or book free walking tours on websites like Viator if you’re looking for budget-friendly options!

Facebook Groups

Join a Facebook group such as a women’s solo travel group where you will find many like-minded travelers with whom you can connect, plan trips, or meet for coffee in a city you both happen to be in!

]]> Traveling on your own is one of the most empowering things that you’ll ever experience, but it doesn’t always come cheap. You’ll sometimes have to pay for a room or Airbnb for two even though you’re on your own, but there are many cheap accommodation options that you can explore.

Hostels

Hostels are solo travelers’ best friends, and they need no special introduction. If you’re willing to share a dorm room with other travelers, you won’t struggle to find a cheap place to stay during your solo travels. They get bonus points for being a great place to meet new people.

Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is even cheaper than hostels because it allows you to find a local host willing to welcome you into their home, free of charge. It’s one of the most popular hospitality exchange websites on the market, but keep in mind it’s not always easy to find a host who’s the right fit, especially if you’re new to using it.

House Swap/Pet Sitting

House swaps are another great way to score “free” accommodation in exchange for your service. Some hosts are willing to swap their homes because they’re looking for someone to take care of their pets while they’re on a holiday, and this is a perfect option for animal lovers.

]]> Being single shouldn’t stop you from hitting the road on Valentine’s Day. If you have some free time on your hands to travel around this holiday, you should put it to some good use and make the best out of your solo trip in three short steps.

Rediscover Self-Love

Love comes in many different shapes and forms, and self-love deserves as much attention as romantic love. You can use Valentine’s Day to treat yourself to a nice trip and use your time on the road to regaining your sense of confidence, especially if it’s been a long time since you’ve traveled alone.

Explore Alternative Destinations

Traveling on Valentine’s Day doesn’t necessarily mean you have to visit destinations that first come to mind when someone mentions this holiday. Skip Paris and Venice and discover some alternative places that won’t be as overcrowded and overpriced during this time of the year.

Expend Your Social Circle

If you enjoy meeting new people everywhere you go, traveling solo will increase your chances of doing that. Even if you’re not interested in dating, expanding your social circle can be pretty fulfilling, especially since you’ll get to meet many like-minded travelers and maybe even explore some new places together.

]]> Taking countless selfies while traveling on your own isn’t the only way to commemorate your journey. You can always ask strangers to take your pics – and here’s exactly what you should do in order to get good ones.

Know What You Want

Stranger you come across don’t know what kind of photos you like, and they probably aren’t professional photographers. They won’t get it right unless you ask them to take a couple of photos, and tell them exactly what should be in the frame.

Generosity Pays Back

We don’t blame you if you’re feeling too shy to ask someone you don’t know to take your pictures, but chances are someone will ask you first. Once that happens, feel free to ask them if they’d be willing to repay the favor.

Make a Right Pick

Not everyone has a knack for photography, so it’s important to try and pick people who seem to be more skillful. Always make sure not to interrupt them while they’re busy taking their own photos, and only ask once they’re done.

]]> Traveling solo can be scary, but once you summon the courage the spread your wings, you’ll probably find out it’s one of the most empowering and liberating things you could possibly do. Here are five surprising benefits of embarking on an exciting journey by yourself.

Total Control

If you don’t like having other people planning where you’re going to stay and what attractions you’re going to visit during your trip, solo travel is just a thing for you.

New Friends

Most of us don’t approach new people when we travel with someone we know, but being by yourself will give you courage to make new friendships.

Cheaper Option

Traveling with others usually means you have to compromise and spend money on things you’d rather not pay for, but you have total financial control once you’re by yourself.

Out of Comfort Zone

Going on an adventure on your own is the best way to step out of your comfort zone. Traveling this way will force you to deal with all the problems you might face, and you’ll transform into a much stronger person along the way.

Confidence Booster

There’s nothing better for your confidence than realizing you can forge your own path and discover incredible things without anyone’s help.
