Planning to do solo travel for the first time ever for my birthday this year! Likely taking the trip in (late) July/early August
Some info in case it helps:
Japan - I've been here thrice with family (once in Tokyo; twice in Osaka/bit of Kyoto)
South Korea - I've never been yet!! I like kpop and korean food though
Explanations for your votes would be appreciated too 🫶

do you have any tips or advice for someone who really wants to try solo traveling but is terrified of actually doing it? what pushed you to do that?
as someone who has anxiety I'll admit it's not that easy traveling solo, especially taking the first steps of booking flights and accommodations but as stressful as it might get, I've never regretted it once and obviously the more you do it, the easier it gets. what pushed me to start doing that was mostly me being fed up with having to wait and rely on others for travelling and at one point I realized I wanted to travel more than having company. I missed so many opportunities because of that but pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and realizing you can actually do it, it's honestly the best feeling ever.
I'm not a pro and I've only travelled solo a handful of times but:
choose the right place to travel to: ask people for recommendations, read articles/blogs/forums/reviews, join groups for solo travelers on fb if you have that and ask for opinions there and mostly do !! your !! research !! never travel anywhere without being informed about the place first
start with staying away for a weekend only at first and choose somewhere close to home and where you know the language and let that help build up your confidence to eventually go farther and for longer
stay at hostels: I know hostels aren't for everyone but they're the best place if you don't want to feel completely alone and also for making new friends from all around the world. 90% of people there are solo travelers too and that makes making connection way easier. also most hotels have same sex and small rooms too so you don't necessarily have to share with many strangers of all sexes
The usual safety stuff: be careful on public transports, use uber rather than local taxis, be careful of pickpockets and thieves, don't travel with valuable stuff, be aware of your surroundings and stay vigilant, send people at home your itinerary, don't go out alone at night, get one of those lanyard phone cases, keep your documents and money hidden well in your bag, get one of those anti theft backpack if you can, never say you're traveling alone when there, never share your exact location on social medias or your personal info with strangers, save all the local emergency numbers on your phone, travel with more than one card and have cash too, make copies of your documents and keep them separated
I really hope this helps and that you'll find the confidence to try it at least once in your life if you really want to do it!

How to travel Solo?
What is Solo Travel? It’s definition is: solo travel means the tourist going somewhere else alone and during their trip, they choose and decide everything like activities, places to visit, services and so on. It means that you, aka the solo traveller, calls the shots. It’s complete freedom what to do and when. This is great and empowering, but it can be “scary” for someone who never tried it.…

I don’t say that often about many places, cause it usually takes me a while to get my bearings and understand the true nature of a place.
But I loved it! 🥰
What I thought was just going to be a day of me doing light travel and eating, turned out to be such a culturally immersive experience from just walking down streets.
.
Considering this was my first stop 🛑 in South America, I truly came to understand why people love Peru so much…,𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝐡𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.
.
And I was able to get back and forth starting with just a quick Uber ride, right out of the airport.
Although I was running on short time, I almost didn’t want to leave.
This was truly phenomenal first stop on my South American journey.

How To Find Cheap Flights To Anywhere | Best Guide For Beginners
Tumblr media
When traveling, either for leisure or professional reasons, flights are normally the costliest aspect of every trip, and among the most expensive modes of transit from one destination to another. While airlines have recently been reducing the cost of transatlantic flights, airfares can still have a significant impact on your trip budget. Whether it's a family or you are traveling solo, finding a cost-effective flight package could be what breaks or makes your vacation. If your airfare is not cost-effective there is a high probability of always postponing the trip or even canceling it, and as most of us know, this happens time and again. This guide will provide a solution to the query of how to find cheap flights anywhere. I will take you through important steps that will help you to find less expensive flights. While no promises can be made, the one major concept around finding cheap flights that will need to be taken into consideration is, flexibility! You may not be able to always leave on the date, time, or even week that you desire, but you’ll have to decide on what the ultimate goal is for you on each trip.

Day 42-44
I had a nice long bath in a disgusting bathtub and headed onto Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park. Just 5 more hours in the car. Just 5 more hours. This was the most uneventful day of driving yet. What should have been 5 hours was closer to 9 since California has the speed limit, no matter how high it is, capped at 55 for all trailers and GPS do not account for it. I get it, but good glob, this made it a long day.
I arrived at my camp between the two parks, in Sequoia National Forest at Big Meadows. I had looked in the parks first, but they were all full. I am so glad for that, because I am literally the only person in this entire campground. It is dark. It is silent. It is cold. It’s wonderful. Here is some picnic table graffiti for you:
Tumblr media
My first morning in Kings Canyon National Park, my tire light came on and I had to fret about it all day. Couldn’t find any screws, the front was maybe a few PSI low, but nothing worrisome. I filled them at an overlook since I carry a small compressor. The tire light didn’t go off, so I just checked them every stop. I Drove to General Grant’s Grove and saw one of the largest trees in the world, surrounded by other Giant Sequoia’s. There’s something so beautiful about the color of their bark; red and almost fuzzy looking.
Tumblr media
I appreciate the interpretive signs here that use creative ways to help people understand and appreciate these rare resources: If the trunk of the General Grant Tree was a gas tank on a car that got 25 miles per gallon, you could drive around the Earth 350 times without refueling. Wowza!
I saw there were a lot of closures due to construction and fire damage, so I wouldn’t be visiting some of the staples that had been recommended to me by Ashton, who worked in Sequoia for 2 seasons. Since Crystal Cave was closed all summer, I decided to stop on Forest Service land at concessionaire run Boyden Cave, a small but pretty cave with a lot of calcium carbonate and silica in their formations that make them glitter even when they are not wet.
Tumblr media
I headed down the line to an extremely empty visitor center where I earned by Junior Ranger Badge!
Tumblr media
This badge is dedicated to anyone who donates before the fundraiser ends on 9/30/22.
I did a small, paved path to Roaring River Falls, an easy way to see a pretty waterfall, and finished my day with a pot of potatoes after doing physical therapy at my camp. I love having a campground all to myself.
Tumblr media
The next morning, Day 44, I wanted to do a hike on the Kings Canyon side before I spend the rest of the week exploring the Sequoia side. I chose the Big Meadows Trailhead just about a mile from my campsite, because of the ease of access to the Jennie Lakes Wilderness, and based on the fact that the parking lot never looked too busy when I’d pass it every day. There’s no service, so I was relying on the trailhead postings to give me information on the hikes. Although they have a rudimentary map listed, they have no distances posted, so I decided I’d pack well and hike for as long as I wanted towards Weaver Lake, have a sit down, then hike back.
Tumblr media
I met two dogs on the trail – interestingly enough I only experienced other solo hikers on the way in, no couples or groups. There were only 4 people total. My kind of hike! The terrain wasn’t the worst, though difficult, the sun hot, but the shade and breeze nice and cool. I could feel my body was doing *just ok* but I kept going, hoping to get to Weaver Lake so I could enjoy my sit down with a view. I started to get tired and discouraged, but knew the lake was under a scree field that wasn’t too far away. I persevered. I found this on the trail:
Tumblr media
Good sign or bad sign? 
Weaver Lake was gorgeous. What is it about backcountry and alpine lakes that I just never get tired of? This one doesn’t look all that different, but I just absolutely love it. 
Tumblr media
It looked like dogs had already entered the lake and disturbed the bottom, so upon realizing the water wasn’t as cold as most lakes in this setting I took off my shoes and had a half dip.
Tumblr media
I wanted a whole dip but know going swimming all alone in the backcountry is a good way to end up on some podcast that’s going to call me dumb. I laid myself out on a slanty rock like a marmot and had a soak in the sun. I ate snacks, read a book, became a general voluptuary.
Tumblr media
I am obsessed with this grass, and we will be getting married next Tuesday. I mean, just look at it! Sorry Husband, this beautiful grass has swept me off of my feet with its good looks and I just can’t resist.
Tumblr media
I found this on the muddy banks of the lake: 
Tumblr media
Good sign or bad sign? 
I knew as much as I liked it here and just wanted to stay longer, my 1.5 hour lay about meant it was only going to get hotter out. The way back out was easier, since it was mostly downhill, but I could feel my soft tissues were starting to rebel.
I wrapped up the day with sitting at my site and sewing on a felt Christmas stocking; yes, I am an old lady and I have no shame about it.

(🚨Save + Share) 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐚 (𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜) 🥘
.
Yes, there is a whole category for people who suffer from this.
It’s also one of the reasons I often hear people use as a reservation to traveling solo.
We are human and of course breaking bread amongst community can be such a heartwarming thing, but so can dining alone.
I in particular love doing the later, because it allows me to fully enjoy my dining experience and just sit in the moment.
That however, can be a bit scary for some.
𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐚 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜. But there are ways you can challenge this.

Yes, I mean, find a fantastic restaurant you have been eager to try, and book a reservation for 1!
🍽️ 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 🤳🏾 📱
We live in an age where technology is a true distraction from human interaction or its potentiality. Putting down that phone down leaves room for spontaneous moments and lived opportunities we might not expect. Be open to this.
🍽️ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 🧖🏾‍♀️
It is ok to enjoy your food without a million people to chat you up. Sit with your thoughts, people watch, enjoy the sights, etc. Through solo dining in public, you are having a communal dining experience in an atypical fashion.
🍽️ 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 🎉
Restaurants and patrons love a reason to celebrate. So why not let your dining community celebrate you. You’ll feel less awkward and more like a celebrity!

First South American skies
Tumblr media
My dad says,….
“Journal your journey to Chile. It will be a memory to cherish when you look back.”
So I did. I made copious notes on my everyday whereabouts. Bought a special notebook from Miniso to do just that. Carried around the grid pages to write my deepest thoughts that were cropping up every time I saw nature’s wonder.
I visited Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama, and Valparaiso, all very distinct in their vibe. Santiago is the capital of the country and felt very politically charged. The walls were painted everywhere in protest against the tyranny and people seemed angry on a daily basis. But the city was still holding up, just like the country. San Pedro de Atacama is a tourist destination. Even though it is a small arid town in the middle of a large desert, it still attracts a lot of tourists who live in hostels and eat whatever is available mostly meaty pizzas. The people here know more English than in Santiago and Valparaiso, and there are daily tours running to show you different parts of the desert. The process is streamlined and everybody collaborates with each other to make your stay memorable. I had never experienced such a clean hostel in my life and if hostels were maintained like that I would always stay in those. El Tatio geysers were the highlight of my trip because it was all the best views combined in one day. I woke up at 4 am to go 1.5 hrs away just to see all the smoke/haze/mist rising from the ground and wondered what kind of a fantasy land we were in. It was surreal and also the best day for pictures. My friendly guide was an enthusiastic photographer and it is he that made me pose in the natural beauty. Almost everyone I met there suggested I go to Bolivia to see salt flats. But time restrictions are real and so is remote working which means you should actually be working. 😁
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My last stop was Valparaiso and I had been given so many suggestions of what to do and not to do that I spent my first 2 days in fear. The city has a vibe that takes some time to understand but once you have gotten a hold of it, everyone is there to help you and make it better. I made friends along the way with the local people who took me on strolls and showed me important viewpoints of the city. The food is trying-to-be-fancy but all the Italian, Continental, and Chinese are still South American at heart. The coffee is bitter which I am sure will be loved by coffee addicts unlike me who pours coffee in milk and not vice versa. The city has a lot of cultures for it is the Florence of the southern continent where everybody is an artist at heart or by profession. You will see people painting, creating music, singing in the church choir, and attending group dance classes and all of that would culminate in having a drink or smoking up at one of the ‘Passos’ at night. These Passos are a popular viewpoint to take in the entire city at night. The many lights shining from peoples’ homes together look like dispersed fireflies. It is a sight very different from broad daylight when people are walking around for work and their colorful houses are perched on a sloping hill. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
South America is not everybody's cup of tea but it was definitely mine. I am going back for more and hopefully get to see Argentina and Peru next time.
Hasta la proxima vez ❤️

Why Solo Female Travel is Growing in Popularity?
Solo female Travel has grown in popularity recently, with many praising the advantages of solo traveling. Here are four factors that encourage women to think about traveling alone.
