]]>Book a Hostel
Hostels are solo travelers’ best friends, and that’s not a coincidence. In addition to being a great place to meet new people, they’re the cheapest type of accommodation on the market. You can save a fortune by staying at a shared dorm with other fellow travelers.
Try Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is even cheaper than hostels because you can use it free of charge. This hospitality exchange website allows you to find local hosts who are willing to host you without chagrining you anything. Finding the right host isn’t easy, especially if you’re a Couchsurfing newbie, but it’s worth a shot.
Be Flexible
Being flexible with your travel plans can save you a lot of money on accommodation. Consider shortening your stay to cut on your expenses and think about switching to a cheaper place to stay on Friday and Saturday nights when prices tend to be the highest.

]]>Stay at Hostels
You’re probably fully aware that hostels are the cheapest form of accommodation, but have you ever stayed at one? You should try booking a bed in a hostel dorm at least once in a lifetime, just to see if you like it. Even if it turns out they’re not your thing, you’ll meet many interesting people and save a lot of money along the way.
Eat Street Food
Street food isn’t as expensive as fancy restaurant meals, but that’s not stopping it from being super-tasty. In addition to being cheap, trying street food is a must because it’s more authentic, and eating it is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the local culture.
Join Free Walking Tours
If you’re looking for a way to quickly learn everything you need to know about the place you’re visiting, joining a free walking tour is always a good idea. Keep in mind that free walking tours aren’t 100% free, and it’s highly recommended to tip your guide.

]]>Let People Come To You
Even if you’re not opposed to making friends when traveling, you probably struggle to make the first step. Luckily, you’ll encounter a lot of people during your travels that don’t have a problem with this, so let them come to you and be open to starting a conversation, without forcing things too much.

One of the biggest benefits of traveling on your own is that you can do your own thing, without endless conversations and potential conflicts with your friends and family. Traveling solo is incredibly freeing, so allow yourself to explore places and do things that you want to do, without other people making you change your plans.
Enjoy Your Alone Time
You won’t be so lonely when you’re exploring new places all day long, but how will you feel once you step inside? Your alone time will give you a chance to reflect on your journey and how far you’ve come, but you can also use it to journal, read, draw, watch a movie, or catch up with loved ones at home.

]]>Social Hostels
You should always look for hostels that offer communal kitchens, lounges, or bars where guests can easily interact and mingle with each other. It’s much easier to make new friends when there’s an area where you can all gather and share your stories.
Activity-Rich Hostels
It’s also worth looking for a hostel that offers a wide range of activities where guests can easily start a conversation without any pressure, from pub crawls and walking tours to board games and movie nights.
Co-Living Spaces
Co-living spaces are experiencing a huge boom right now, especially when it comes to slow travel. They often organize communal dinners, movie nights, or workshops where guests can interact with each other.
Party Hostels
Party hostels are not always ideal for travelers seeking a peaceful and quiet night’s sleep, but if you’re in the mood to party all night while on the road, they’ll help you meet a lot of new people and have an epic time.

]]>Finding Direction
Just as you’ll need to find your way literally, navigating on your own can also help you find your way figuratively. If you use the time to yourself for self-reflection, you can get to know yourself in new ways and even set some goals for yourself.
Trusting Yourself
Going out on your own can be scary, but that’s what makes it worthwhile. Learning to do everything on your own over multiple days–driving, reading maps, planning your route, etc.–can teach you to trust your own judgment and can build your overall confidence.
No Disagreements
Making all the decisions can be really fun! You get to choose the route, the music, and the bathroom break schedule. There will be no fights and you’ll always get your way. Go ahead and stop at every roadside attraction or none of them; it’s totally up to you.
No Judgment
With no one else around, you can sing as loud as you want and eat as many snacks as you like. You can be gross or super clean, and no one can do anything about it! Out on the road alone, you don’t have to perform for anyone–which means you can simply be yourself.

]]>Confidence
The most valuable thing you can get from traveling alone is confidence. Being more independent for a certain period of time and accomplishing things all on your own can really boost one’s confidence.
Tolerance
Being exposed to different cultures, experiences and meeting so many different people can also change your perspective on life and teach you tolerance.

Once you travel to a foreign country where you don’t know a single person, all you can rely on is yourself. This may seem scary at first, but it can be a good lesson on how to become more independent. Also, independence comes with amazing benefits like freedom and flexibility.
How to Be Alone
There are some people who can’t stand, and simply don’t know, how to be alone, and that’s why solo trips sound impossible to many. But getting out of your comfort zone and learning how to enjoy being alone is an important lesson, otherwise, you can miss out on a lot of things.

]]>Many people have doubts about traveling alone simply because they’ve never tried it. They believe they will get bored or be less safe that way, but the truth is typically far from that. Here are three amazing advantages to traveling alone.
Choose Your Own Activities
When you’re traveling with your partner or a larger group of friends, you have to take everyone’s interests into consideration. When you’re alone, you’re free to do whatever you want and organize your itinerary in a way that’s perfect for you.
Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
Traveling alone can be scary, but that’s a good thing. It’s important to get out of your comfort zone if you want to grow and develop.
Get to Know Yourself
Spending time alone will help you get to know yourself. Exploring the museums, restaurants, and local attractions on your own will give you a better sense of what you really like and how you can implement it in your daily life.

]]>Stay in Touch
It’s natural to miss your friends and family during your adventures around the world, but you can catch up with them whenever you’re trying to beat the solo travel blues.
Hostel Life
Hotels and private apartments may be more comfortable than hostels, but it’s highly unlikely you’ll meet any new people there. Opt for this type of accommodation when you’re traveling on your own because you’ll always be surrounded by other fellow travelers.
Fun Activities
The hostel isn’t the only place where you can meet new people. Join one of the fun activities you can do with a group – free walking tours are a good place to start.
Get Comfortable
There’s nothing wrong about feeling lonely, as long as you learn to find some comfort in this feeling. Instead of beating yourself up, do things that make you feel good and fulfilled – even if it means doing them on your own.
