💬 How to Find Safety and Connection When Traveling Alone

People often ask me: "Is solo travel safe?"
My answer: As safe as you make it.

🛡️ Safety tips:

  • Travel by day and stay central

  • Keep copies of your passport and store valuables separately

  • Share your itinerary with someone at home

  • Trust your instincts, they're usually right

🤝 How to find connection:

  • Stay at hostels or small hotels

  • Join guided tours and workshops

  • Use Facebook or WhatsApp groups for travelers

  • Chat with locals, most people are kind and curious

🌍 Great accommodation for social travelers:

  • Hostels: affordable and social (app hostelworld)

  • Airbnb: local experiences

  • Couchsurfing: stay with verified hosts

  • House swapping: trade homes for a set time

"Traveling alone doesn't mean being lonely. It means giving yourself the freedom to explore the world, and yourself, at your own pace."
