Absolutely, safe solo travel issue is the top priority for any solo adventurer. It can feel like climbing a mountain if you’re new to booking your trips.
Yes, safe solo travel issue is the number one concern of any solo traveller. It can be overwhelming if you have not booked a holiday yourself. Sure, you might have booked through a travel agent but that’s against the true nature of solo travelling. These `safety issues’ come into your mind because you are not prepared for travel. Imagine this, you book a flight, and hotel accommodation, book tours online, your visa is on arrival and you know how to reach your hotel from the airport. I would say do some research about the country you are going to and you are good to go.
The only thing left is the voice in your head that is still stopping you. I would say do `some more homework’ till that voice is no more. The more you prepare for your solo travel journey the more confident you will feel. The safety issues then just become common sense and your preparation becomes the guiding voice. So if you have safety issues, don’t let them cancel your solo travel, be prepared because that’s all it takes.

My folks aren’t too thrilled about me venturing out solo. It’s a common worry in India and some other parts of Southeast Asia, and even your close buddies might try to talk you out of it. But wait, a survey says 84% of women worldwide go for solo travel, so what’s up with that? Only 16% of men are brave enough to go it alone (check the full report here).
Don’t worry, your folks and friends aren’t trying to cramp your style. They just want you to be safe! So, show them what you’re made of. Learn the ins and outs of solo travel, get all the details on your trip, and be ready to answer any question thrown your way. Confidence is key here! When you show your folks and friends that you’ve got everything under control, they’ll feel more confident in you. And if you still feel a bit nervous before you set out, that’s just your gut feeling, keeping you on your toes. So, get ready, and go make some amazing memories!
It is pointless to embark on any journey if you do not believe yourself worthy of the destination. – Anthon St. Maarten
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries. – Aldous Huxley
Why waste your travels cooped up in a boring hotel room? You didn’t journey all this way to watch TV reruns and twiddle your thumbs! My advice? Skip the fancy hotels, especially if you’re backpacking. All you need is a comfy bed and a spotless bathroom. When I took a trip with my squad of eight (three guys, five gals), we made a pact: No room time allowed! Even though our hotel served breakfast, we hit the streets to explore local cuisine instead. Every meal was at a new spot!
That’s the true spirit of travelling – discovering delicious eats and making new friends! 42% of Indian travellers agree that meeting locals is one of their top things to do, followed closely by 41% who prefer connecting with friends.
Adventure should be part of everyone’s life. It is the whole difference between being fully alive and just existing. – Holly Morris
Whoever said solo travel meant being alone clearly never went on an adventure! Sure, you might be the captain of your ship, but the world is your crew. And, hey, if you’re not too keen on chatting with strangers at a bar, no worries! Hostels are your new BFF. No age limits, just a bunch of cool cats hanging out, sharing stories, and making memories. Whether you opt for a private room or a dorm, you’ll find yourself surrounded by like-minded wanderers. Say goodbye to loneliness and hello to new friends, new flavours, and new sights. Not an extrovert? No problem! You can still have a blast exploring the world. Go bungee jumping, take a cooking class, or float off into the sky in a hot air balloon. The world is your playground, so go out and play!
