9 Tips to Travel Alone and Love It

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There are several advantages to traveling alone. For one, you will travel on your own terms. You will visit the places you want and when you feel like. However, you also need to be careful as you can become the target of bad people. Here are some tips that you can use to enjoy solo travel.

1. Plan for your days ahead
One of the tips for traveling alone is to plan ahead. Before you even embark on your journey, you will need to have an itinerary of where you will go and on which day. For instance, you can plan to visit a museum on the first day, the beach on the second day and a fishing site on the third day. However, there are no rules that you must stick to the plan. If you feel like resting in your hotel all day reading a book, feel free to do that.

2. Make friends with locals
Loneliness can be real when going on holiday alone. This is why you will need to connect with people. Therefore, make sure that you make friends with locals. After all, it is their country you are traveling to. This can also open a window for you to understand the culture and enjoy the local life. You can find more tips for bonding with the locals on your thesis writing service from Australia that write main tips for you.

3. Connect with a stranger
The most important thing when going travelling alone is to ensure that you connect with someone who is traveling alone. You can smile at them and just say “Hi” when walking. When they respond to your greeting, you can start a conversation by asking them common questions, such as where they are from and whether they are traveling alone. If they answer and also ask questions, it means that they are ready to strike up a conversation with you. On the other hand, if they only reply without asking any questions, it means that you are bothering them.

4. Remain low-key
Avoid flashing expensive jewelry, cameras, and electronics. Remain discreet so as to avoid a lot of attention.

5. Understand your destination well
Have a look at a map of your destination to understand it well. Look for the major landmarks such as New York’s central park or Toronto’s CN Tower that will help you to understand the direction. These will help you to explore the city well and safely.

6. Remain calm when you get lost
When you get lost, you do not have to get anxious as this will only serve to do more harm than good. You should begin with understanding the direction that you should be moving towards. If necessary, make use of a compass to start moving in that direction. Enjoy the beauty along the way you pass remembering that you would not have had that new adventure if you had followed your usual route. If you are not sure of where you are, seek for help. When you stand alone appearing dazed, you will not get the direction of where you would like to go and you might get noticed by thieves. In most cases, you will encounter lots of good people and so you don’t have to be afraid of asking for direction.

7. Take photos
Photos are what will make the memory of the destination that you traveled to. The only challenge is that when you are going on vacation alone, you will need to ask someone to take the photos. This may also turn out to be the conversation starter. You can also offer to take a photo of them.

8. Prepare for the down times
You will encounter several down-times while traveling such as a delayed flight or train. This can leave you bored if you have nothing to do. In order to beat the boredom, carry a book that you can read.

9. Stay at a place that suits your need
You will want to stay in the best place you can afford. When searching for a hotel, the most important thing you need to consider is on whether it has the facilities you need. If you are the kind who loves swimming, you should choose a hotel that is close to the beach. If you love game drives, choose a hotel that is inside or within the vicinity of the game park. Make sure that there is a restaurant that meets your needs at the hotel.

From the recently-inaugurated Mactan-Cebu International Airport, which demonstrated the remarkable genius of Filipino architectural ingenuity, all the way to the pioneering series of construction and transportation projects underway such as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway and its first-ever LRT subway-elevated system, Cebu is undoubtedly ushering an unprecedented economic mobility in the realm of construction and transportation.

Coinciding perfectly with the heightened spirit of enthusiasm surrounding both trade industries, Worldbex Services International – the country’s leading events and expositions organizer – is proud to present two back-to-back shows that will boost and augment the course of progress being undertaken by the region.

Redefining leisure and productivity
Recognizing the growing demand among automotive consumers for vehicles that live up to their increasingly active lifestyles as well as their entrepreneurial agenda, this year’s Cebu Auto Show, which is also the final regional leg of MIAS 2108, will drive around the theme of “Work and Play”.
