TIPS FOR TRAVELLING ALONE
Travelling alone seems scary if it’s the first time you are going to leave the comfort of home. You will probably think about the potential risks or difficult situations. What happens if I get ill, or have an accident? Isn’t it dangerous to go out alone at night? What happens if I get attacked? Isn’t it strange to eat at restaurants alone all the time?
Most travellers have these worries and more before their first trip alone, but all these fears disappear when they see all the benefits of this great experience. Here I’m going to give you 3 tips on how to travel alone and have a good time.
Speak the language

Don’t be shy
Don’t be afraid of asking. Ask for directions in the street, or ask about the place, the culture or the customs to the local people that you find in bars, parks, etc. You will be surprised how much people like to talk about their town or their culture. Remember you are alone. Asking can be an effective way to start a conversation and meet new people.
