Best Solo Trip Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n

Are you planning your first solo adventure or just considering it? First of all, do it! Second of all, I\u2019ve compiled a list of my tips to ease some worries you may have about leaving your comfort zone and plopping yourself in a new city. We asked a travel writer who just got back from an epic solo Europe trip to share some of her best tips with you fellow travellers for eating alone, making friends, staving off \u201cthe lonelies,\u201d and having the best solo trip EVER. Whether you are going to South America for six months or New York City for six weeks, you might be travelling alone on your next solo trip, but we can help ensure you won\u2019t be lonely!<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Perks of travelling alone<\/b><\/h2>\n

    It\u2019s all about you! No, really. You get to do whatever <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> want and truly bask in your alone time! While I still do love travelling with others, I <\/span>REALLY<\/span><\/i> love this perk of travelling by myself. You get to choose your own schedule while sightseeing, do things when you want, and go places when you want to without having to consult or accommodate others\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Spend long periods of guilt-free time in the art gallery. Have that second glass of wine on the restaurant patio while watching the world go by. Choose <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>to go somewhere or do something just because you\u2019re \u201csupposed to\u201d or because everyone else is.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    2. Eating alone<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Eating alone gets less weird. <\/b>I promise. While it was super intimidating at first to eat out by myself (considering I never did it at home), now I have absolutely no qualms about saying, \u201cTable for one, please!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
