6 main mistakes of solo travellers

Traveling alone is an amazing way to understand yourself, you can play with a National Casino registration bonus and not be ashamed, or visit places you really want. Yet, some solo travellers make mistakes, and these are the main of them. 

Justify Your Choices

Agree that there is no point in making excuses at all. The full picture, with the strokes of life experience, priorities and values, is visible only to you. And it needs no proof or explanation. Especially when it comes to mature decisions. Anyone who tries to talk you out of going solo is likely only exposing their own fears. If you're ready to go on a private date with the world, is it worth explaining yourself to those around you? Consider.

Take a Bulky Package

Try to take only what you will really need on your trip. Remember, traveling in the company of a giant suitcase, you may need to get away from it. In this case, there is a great chance of losing your luggage left unattended. Traveling light is much more pleasant, but let this "light" be not a coincidence of criminal circumstances, but a meaningful choice.

Don't Bring a First Aid Kit

Allergy sufferers, asthmatics and people with other health conditions that increase the risk of receiving emergency medical care should be especially careful about this point. Keep all inhalers and medications you need to improve your condition in your hand luggage (when at the airport and on the plane) or in your pockets (when you arrive at your destination). And keep in mind that everyone may need medicines, and it may be difficult to buy them yourself in a country with an unfamiliar language, especially if you feel unwell.

Shy of Public Meals Alone

Everyone has had breakfast or lunch alone. These meals will not cause embarrassment even in public places, because you have the opportunity to fully enjoy a hot pastry and delicious coffee, perfect porridge, generously sprinkled with juicy berries, or a full meal with an almost homely feel. Dinner at rush hour, on the other hand, can cause trouble because popular establishments often assign individual diners to the best tables, and in some cases you may be denied an order altogether. 

Limit Yourself to the Advice of Guidebooks

People often have dialogues with books when they don't have time to talk to other people. However, traveling on your own is a great way to realize how valuable it is to listen to yourself. Using guidebooks is necessary, but the word of a guidebook should be a right, not a law. Don't limit yourself to the recommendations and itineraries noted there. Make your own must-do and must-see lists, trust your intuition, walking in an unfamiliar city, turn in those streets, where your feet and heart lead, not the pages of the paper guide. Going in search of adventure without relatives, friends and pals, you seize virtually uniquely our rapid time to dissolve into the environment and live on their own schedule.

Be Afraid to Talk to Strangers

Solo travelers should keep in contact with natives (unless we're talking about exotic countries with peculiarities of interpersonal communication). Locals can help you understand the intricacies of their country, customs, everyday conversational phrases. In the end they can take you a few commemorative pictures in case you are an opponent of selfie sticks. And also talking to the locals will give you a much more accurate idea of the character of the nation and culture. That's interesting!
