Solo Travel
There’s a kind of freedom you only find when you travel solo and once you feel it, you’ll never forget it. For example, I will never forget stumbling upon a random mansion in Switzerland when I was staying a mile away. The group of strangers from the dinner party escorted me to a “pizzeria hostel” I accidentally booked.
Solo travel is about waking up with no set plans, saying yes to unexpected adventures, and realizing just how capable you are. My first solo trip completely changed the way I see travel, even though I’ll always love a good girls’ trip too!
Below are some of my favorite solo adventures, which you can do too, whether you’re just getting started or already a seasoned independent traveler!
