Travel is such a social experience that you are only truly alone if you want to be, as no matter what type of person you are, you will meet like-minded souls! It\u2019s totally possible that you\u2019ll end up sharing a dorm with a new bestie, or even a soul-mate. One of the beauties of travelling solo is you\u2019re far more open to finding your tribe, and you get to make every single decision just for you! To celebrate International Women\u2019s Day we\u2019ve asked six solo female travelers to share the biggest things they\u2019ve learned on their solo adventures.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yMDIbI8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"401\" \/><br \/>\nAly: Psycho Traveller<br \/>\n\u2018Before jetting off around the world I always tried to plan every detail of my trip. I soon learnt that by letting go of that control, so many more doors open. All the worries I had about leaving my backpack in my hostel dorm and meeting new people were smashed into pieces and I really had nothing to worry about. \u2018When you travel the world alone you will encounter the good, the bad and the ugly. I learnt that I could achieve and handle so much more than I ever thought possible prior to solo travel. When situations arise on the road you have no choice but to figure things out for yourself. When you have no one to fall back on or to help you make decisions, you quickly realise just how capable you are. After a while your confidence and independence accelerate, and it\u2019s in that moment that you start to grow as a person.&#8217;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/texf1fs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"356\" \/><br \/>\nKatie: The <a href=\"http:\/\/thehostelgirl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Hostelgirl<\/a><br \/>\n\u2018The most important thing I\u2019ve learnt travelling the world solo is to say no. I grew up a bit of a good girl and I hated letting people down, not from a fear of missing out but because I wanted to please everyone. When you travel solo, the only person you have to please is yourself. And what you\u2019ll find is that the more confidence you gain in doing the things that benefit you, the more you attract likeminded people. You\u2019ll create an incredible circle of friends who lead confident lives, both professionally and personally, which is inspiring as hell. The biggest test for saying no more is when I return home and try and see as many friends as possible before I fly out again a week later \u2013 it\u2019s just not possible or healthy. But I have found that instead of losing out on friend time (which I thought would happen), I make more of an effort now to stay in touch via messaging apps and old fashioned postcards when I\u2019m on the road, instead of just trying to see people when I\u2019m home.\u2019<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/X9yBgIP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"535\" \/><br \/>\nAmy: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amybakerwrites.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Amy Baker Writes<\/a><br \/>\n\u2018The most important thing I\u2019ve taken away from solo travel, besides a deeper understanding of how capable I am, is the knowledge of how instrumental my choices and decisions are to my happiness. Once you see how life can be if you spend it pursuing only what interests you and makes you feel alive, you\u2019re always going to be committed to pursuing a life that makes you truly happy. Surely that\u2019s what we should all be doing, right?\u2019<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yXC8JaN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"401\" \/><br \/>\nKara: <a href=\"http:\/\/heelsinmybackpack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Heels in my Backpack<\/a><br \/>\n&#8216;I didn\u2019t really think tolerance would be something I\u2019d learn on my travels. I mean, when you\u2019re a solo female traveller you have complete freedom to up and leave every time you come across someone who isn\u2019t really your cup of tea, right? That\u2019s not exactly motivation to become more tolerant. But I didn\u2019t realise what it\u2019s like to constantly live in a dorm full of people. There are people from all walks of life. Then there\u2019s the ridiculously long overland journeys when you\u2019re held captive in a bus or boat with people that you wouldn\u2019t normally get on with. After a few of these experiences, something clicked and I just started to unwind a bit, being more tolerant of other people\u2019s quirks and differences. Once I became more tolerant, I was a lot happier in the dorm environment and on the crazy buses.&#8217;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/AHhhflS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"379\" \/><br \/>\nVicky:<a href=\"http:\/\/vickyflipfloptravels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"> Vicky Flip Flop Travels<\/a><br \/>\n&#8216;I&#8217;ve learnt that I&#8217;m a lot more confident and daring than I ever would&#8217;ve imagined I&#8217;d be at school, or even after. I enjoy pushing myself and sitting around doing nothing is now my idea of hell, whereas I used to love vegging out in front of the TV. There&#8217;s a big world out there \u2013 and the more I see, the more I want to see!&#8217;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/9vNJEQJ.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"355\" \/><br \/>\nJohanna: <a href=\"http:\/\/visionsofjohanna.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Visions of Johanna<\/a><br \/>\n&#8216;Travelling solo restored my faith in humanity. I learned to trust people, and when I say people, I mean total strangers. It came as a bit of a shock to me, that humans really are inherently kind. I can recall countless times when people have stopped and gone out of their way to help me when I\u2019ve been lost in new cities. Working out how to get train and bus tickets can be confusing and without fail a local has always come to my assistance. I\u2019ve accepted lifts when I\u2019ve been stuck, something I\u2019d never have done back home! I\u2019ve been taken to shows, been given city tours and meals all from people I\u2019d only met hours before. The warmth and kindness of strangers is incredible. I started my journey being cautious and worrying how I would communicate, but once I set off those worries disappeared. It sounds obvious, but my biggest tip would be to smile lots; it\u2019s a wonderful ice-breaker!&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":136312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hw_hurry":"Six female travel bloggers, including Aly of Psycho Traveller and Katie of The Hostelgirl, share what solo travel taught them, from letting go of control to saying no without guilt.\nKara of Heels in my Backpack says dorm life and long journeys with strangers build patience, while Vicky of Vicky Flip Flop Travels found a confidence she never expected.\nJohanna of Visions of Johanna says strangers restored her faith in human kindness, and her top tip for breaking the ice with locals is simply to smile often.","hw_related":"[{\"id\":26760,\"score\":0.8489999999999999769073610877967439591884613037109375,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":2557,\"score\":0.84740000000000004209965709378593601286411285400390625,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":15884,\"score\":0.8330999999999999516830939683131873607635498046875,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":1460,\"score\":0.80910000000000004138911435802583582699298858642578125,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":253359,\"score\":0.75329999999999996962429804625571705400943756103515625,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":151406,\"score\":0.75270000000000003570477247194503434002399444580078125,\"hook\":\"\"}]","footnotes":""},"categories":[9473],"tags":[264369,264367],"class_list":["post-16365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-tips","tag-female-travel","tag-solo-travel","wpbf-post"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
