Solo Travel Tips for Millennials

1. Put Technology On Hold

Try spending less time on your phone pretending your filling a void at dinner. Put the phone away, enjoy your meal or activity, let your mind be curious and simply be present.

3. Stay Put

When I first traveled on my own I was traveling to a new city every few days, which was a lot of fun. Next time though, I’d try to spend a few more days in certain cities to feel more like a local.

4. Start Close to Home

The first solo trip you take doesn’t have to be halfway around the world: The first time I traveled alone, I went to a familiar place so I wouldn’t be worrying about safety as much. The second time I went on a cruise and it was fantastic!

5. Do as a Local

Venture out beyond the typical travel sites. Don’t be afraid to explore more local places and interact with those around you!

6. Do Some Research

I wish I did better research on the best restaurants and bars to visit. It was more of a spontaneous thing, which I do love at times. But I think I could’ve had a better experience eating and drinking at the top places.
