I think there’s a big misconception with solo travel that it means you have to have zero human interaction. While you can certainly go solo traveling and spend an entire trip alone, it doesn’t mean you necessarily have to! If you are someone that has been curious about traveling solo, but also values time with others, I am here to show you a few ways that you can meet people during your solo travels and not spend a single day alone, if you don’t want to.

These 5 things have either simplified how I travel, have saved me time or money, or have added significant comfort to my travel days. You may be surprised that majority of these are not large or costly things and you can actually start implementing them today for your upcoming trip!

I firmly believe that unfortunate things can happen anywhere in the world, and it is more important for the individual to mitigate their risk wherever possible. From my 10 years of solo traveling experience thus far, I have compiled my top recommendations for minimizing your safety risk while traveling alone.

Every time I go on a trip, without fail, I get at least one message in my inbox saying “How do you get to travel all the time??!

Last night while a group of girl friends and I were at dinner, the bill was placed on our table and our entire group pulled out the exact same credit card. We laughed hysterically and I knew it was time to write about this credit card and share its amazingness with the rest of my community. Whether you have this card or not, I urge you to keep reading because I had no idea some of these benefits existed!
