  I love solo travel. My time is my own and I can take the time to take in my surroundings without interruption. I think it&apos;s fun.

  I&apos;ve been traveling alone on and off for 40+ years. I&apos;m 67 now and have lived in three countries for the past eight years, and &nbsp;I&apos;m getting ready to wander again next month.

  What a great and inspiering energy you have! I much enjoyed your video and solo travel tips. I travel alone and enjoy it. I think travelling can be a bit exhausting these days, and sometimes feel I´m just put off going anywhere. Your video gave me some new perspectives of solo travelling that I may have forgotten and needed to be reminded of. 🙂

  In my experience, I had to learn more about my travel style because I had NOT traveled much at all while in my career. &nbsp;I have been single almost 30 years and pretty much do/go wherever whenever without consulting others. &nbsp;I went on a 40 day trip in April/May. &nbsp;What I learned is things about my preferred &apos;style&apos; of solo travel. &nbsp;I like to travel very light, carry as few things as possible. &nbsp;If I need something I can buy it. On that 40 day trip I bought a blouse with sleeves, toenail clippers, ibuprofen and one indulgence.....a genuine leather purse in Italy. &nbsp;I act pretty much the same no matter where I am. &nbsp;I like to go out early and &apos;do&apos; whatever whether it&apos;s shopping, errands, walking or exploring... afternoons and evenings I like to chill at &apos;home&apos; and plan the next day/week. &nbsp;If I don&apos;t feel good I am not obligated to do things anyway whether my time is short or not. &nbsp; Typically I was okay with taking a day to explore, then taking a day to rest or just go down to the corner where there was a grocery, or bakery, or restaurant. &nbsp;I don&apos;t like to be rushed any longer. &nbsp;I spent YEARS being rushed and I am over it. &nbsp;I used to be the first one to arrive and now I just get there when I get there. &nbsp;I learned that I do not have much tolerance for rude people any longer. &nbsp;I spent years tolerating that as well. &nbsp;I am not confrontational, but as a southern woman, I can bring up the resting bitch face or withering look when needed. &nbsp;And I can easily turn my back and walk away. &nbsp;I learned to stick with my gut on any topic/situation. &nbsp;It never fails me. &nbsp;I am now planning my next trip. Never thought about China. &nbsp;But until I planned that trip to Europe I didn&apos;t think about going to Turkey either. &nbsp;I spend a half a day walking all over Istanbul. &nbsp;It was fantastic. &nbsp;Practical things I learned... take clothes that dry quickly. have a hairstyle that is easy. Benadryl or Ibuprofen are good &quot;just in case&apos; things to take. &nbsp;Don&apos;t be afraid to ask for something or challenge something. &nbsp;Watch the locals and engage if you can. &nbsp;set your pace and don&apos;t second guess it. &nbsp;I have a couple videos of my trip. &nbsp;I don&apos;t do it for clicks. &nbsp;I do it for various ppl in family that may like to know what I am up to.

  I love that last quote. &nbsp;I lost my husband of 45 years ago and just can’t seem to make the leap to travel solo. &nbsp;You have encouraged me to try

  Just found your channel. &nbsp;I can so relate to you. &nbsp;I did travel by myself to Sicily last December and met up with my daughter who got engaged there. &nbsp; I then traveled for 2 weeks by myself. &nbsp;I was so proud of myself after I did it. &nbsp;I had a few moments of feeling lonely and wanting to share how beautiful this place was with someone. &nbsp;I would like to try it again. &nbsp;Thank you for sharing.
