💬 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."
