Q: What are 2-3 quick tips you have for young women and men interested in starting solo travel?
A: 1. Eat the local food.
2. If you are doing multiple destinations, mix up your choice of accommodations! One nice resort, one casual hostel/air bnb. Once you know what you like, stick with that type of accommodation; where you stay is only a small part of your travel experience!
3. Not comfortable traveling solo? Travel with one person that matches you well! For me, my go-to person has always been my mom.
