What is it like to travel alone?

Question

im a female college student and would like to go backpacking through some parts of asia and europe. what are some tips or opinions about travelling alone, and does anyone have any advice?? would it be a bad idea to do it alone, or a rewarding experience??

Answer 1

I have traveled across the country (from east coast to west), by myself. Aside from the confusion among the Greyhound employees and some incidents of poor customer service, it had to be one of the best experience, if not the best trip I could have ever imagined taken. Traveling alone would seem like a "bad idea" and that you should go with friends or family by some people standards (trust me, I felt the backlash from others), but at the same time, they may not want to stop at that "cool monument" or "beautiful landscape" that you might want to, thus leaving you without the chance to see it up close for yourself! Go for it!!

Answer 2

Answer 4

i was only brave enough for 3 days alone in prague (i didnt it last nov as a 24 year old female) i was not lonely at all and it was very empowering and fun. next time i would go longer. i like being on my own and when i travel i try and see as much as i can.

i would liek to go to asia on my own (europe is no big deal at all)

i think if you are conscious of your surroundings and wear a money belt when you walk around it should be fine.

Answer 5
