Travelling
alone is one of the most amazing experiences you should have at least once in
your life and that will change you the most as a person.
It's not easy to explain, but it's something
that makes you grow in a brutal way and that revolutionizes your personal
development.
It is very clear that it is much more fun to go
on a trip with the couple, family,
friends or even a group of people known or unknown. But we are not going to
deny that travelling is also a very attractive idea and, above all, a very
enriching experience, given that it forces us to relate to people and take
the chestnuts out of the fire without any other support than ourselves.
However, everything that glitters is not gold either, and the enrichment of
all this experience is also a bit of complexity, especially when we travel
alone for the first time. Travel agency in Udaipur can guide
you very well to choose the place and to make the itinerary.
Tips for those who travel alone for the first time:
One of the biggest fears of many travellers is
travelling alone, especially when it is the first time. That is why this time I
will give you a series of tips for those who want to travel alone for the first
time.
Get
well informed
It might seem obvious, but the first thing you
should do is investigate everything about the place you are going to visit, through a good tour
operator, in forums and web pages you will find
a lot of information. Something you should not overlook is to find out which
are the most dangerous places to avoid visiting them.
The more structured your trip is, the less
likely it is that something will go wrong.
It
is normal to be nervous
Before embarking on a solo trip, as is normal
to be nervous before doing anything extraordinary in life. Do not worry! If you
need help, there will always be someone willing to give you a hand, no matter
where you are.
Talk to people
Wherever you go, do not hesitate, most of the
people are good. You will be surprised at how people open-up. Sign
up for activities during the day, share your experiences during the trip, ask
for suggestions from a nearby restaurant. Do it especially with other lonely
travellers, since most will feel like you.
And of course, it is very advisable to learn
the basic vocabulary of the destination to which one travels. It's worth
having the Google Translator always ready or some other application to use it
at any time.
Where
will you stay?
Choose the accommodation according to your
profile, budget and desire to meet people. For example, if you want to meet
more people like you or maybe a future travel companion, you should stay in a
hostel, (even in a private room) that will put you in touch with other people
in your same tuning.
Take
just and necessary
There will be no one to help you carry your
bags, so I recommend that you only carry what you need, do not carry things
that you know you will not use, or travel with items that you know will be
easier to get in the place of travel.
Make sure you wear the right clothes for the
weather and good sports shoes, my favourites when travelling, they are
comfortable to walk long hours.
Believe
in yourself
You must be open to things cannot go as
planned, trust your own possibilities and face every challenge that comes your
way, because if you overcome it will be very satisfying on a personal level.
Spend some time thinking about your plans for the next two days.
Make
a copy of your documents
Bored, but necessary. Take a photo or scan all
the documents, send them by mail to a person you trust and yourself. If
something goes wrong, you can always resort to this plan B.
Keep
present where you leave, what you have
Remember that wherever you stay you are not
responsible for the lost items, so always you must be aware of where you leave
the things you carry, only you are responsible for your belongings and no one
will answer for something you lost or forget
Be
positive
This is the most important thing, be positive.
Keep in mind that your trip is not about taking pictures of yourself posing in
front of famous monuments but enjoying the experience.
Be
cautious
Have information of Embassy, Consulate of the
country of origin. It is not necessary to have at hand the telephone numbers of
the medical insurance/credit card for any eventuality.
Enjoy!
Enjoy the destination as if you did not know
anything about it.
