Have you ever thought about taking a vacation just you? During my travels, I have always met women traveling alone. I usually ask them about the most significant challenges they have seen and the best things that have happened to them while traveling alone. Many have told me that the most rewarding anecdote about traveling alone is the empowerment and satisfaction of achieving that dream. Traveling with someone or in a group is a lot of fun, but you have to be willing to accommodate others’ schedules.
Do not be afraid to travel alone, I have been told that it is an unforgettable experience. I haven’t done it yet, but it’s on my bucket list. I want to visit a Tibetan Monastery like the Rongbuk Monastery at Everest Base Camp, which is the highest monastery in the world, at an altitude of about 5,154 meters above sea level. I would love to learn about meditation.
When you are ready to travel alone, make sure always to be careful when leaving the hotel, do not choose hotels in remote places, leave all valuables in the room, and have a selfie stick for your phone so you can take good photos. Also, it would help if you always let a family member or friend know of your itinerary.
You can also look into trips for solo travelers. Here are some ideas of where to look:

Are you not convinced yet? Just remember, being alone sometimes is an excellent idea to learn the most about yourself. When traveling alone, you can discover new things, make new friends, buy what you want, and eat as much as you can. No one will judge.
