Is anyone else planning an International holiday/vacation alone?
Is anyone else planning an International holiday alone? For any reason at all. I am considering it but obviously worried I may feel lonely or be unsafe.

Traveling alone can feel exhilarating when done properly. Just some things to consider
The location
Understanding the reputation of where you are going.
Staying aware of whatever dangers are common there and of course as a woman in general.
Be smart and understand the laws and customs of where you visit long before you enter their land. Maintaining a confidence realistically of your abilities. Spontaneity is wonderful but planning ahead is a good idea.
Important to let people you care about know where you’ll be that day, if with anyone etc Check in often. Immerse yourself in the culture of where you are. Taste the foods, visit the stores, any beautiful views or historical locations. Be friendly with those around you. You want to be smart and safe but you also don’t want just any vacation of pool lounging and drinks at a bar.
