I’ve been traveling on my own for years now, and I’m always getting asked questions about solo travel. So many people are curious about it, but are afraid to try it. Are you one of those people? Believe me, its not difficult. If anything, its empowering!
Here are the 5 most common questions I’m asked about solo travel.
- Why do you travel alone? Don’t you want to share your experiences with someone?
- Don’t you get lonely with solo travel? I can’t even go to the movies or dinner by myself.
- Are you not afraid? You’re so brave!
- What about safety?
- How do you know where to go?

Although I only answer and discuss these 5 questions in the video, I’m often asked many more. This probably means another blog post is necessary! Despite many being afraid or intimidated by it, solo travel is on the rise, and the travel industry has taken note of this. More and more, I’m seeing friendlier policies for solo travelers.
If you want to ease into solo travel, perhaps joining a small tour group designed specifically for solo travelers is something for you. Being grouped with other solo travelers will allow you to comfortably explore new places with like-minded people. And these people will be looking to make friends while traveling too.
I strongly encourage anyone who is considering solo travel, to take into consideration the things I discussed. Then just take that leap of faith! I promise you, it’ll be all that and more.
Still a little nervous? See my post “Start Living a Passionate Life”, to read how I fought through my fear, and started my journey as a solo traveler, and now as a blogger.
