#100: You’ll never regret traveling as a female solo 🙂
I’m about to start my first backpack trip ever and also as a solo female. I’m going to Thailand and I’m super excited to see all those places, to meet new people and get to know the culture. 🙂
Thanks for this post it’s very helpful!!
Kind regards!
That’s very exciting Sarah! How long will you be in Thailand for?
I started my first solo travel in May of this yeat at 55. It was not easy every day, but I had more great days than bad days. Ask,ask,ask. People are really still caring beings. Perhaps my puppy eyes convinced them. And yes to almost everything on the list. It is not a fashion show. Make sure nothing creases or sprinkle with warm water and hang out.
Try to go up north to Chiang Mai & Pai. My favorites.
My #100 is to embrace the 24 hour layover. It can give you a chance to get a taste of a place. I never thought much of Amsterdam before my husband and I had a 24 hour layover there and we realized we had to get back at some point. We probably wouldn’t have considered it before.
Yes! I love the long layover! You can pack a lot into them, too 🙂
You can find cheaper flights by choosing the longer layover, plus, it can give you that extra bit of time to explore! (However, check for time differences and periods as you wouldn’t want to explore at 11:00pm until 5:00am.) – Brooke, 40 Countries.
Thin quick drying base layers are great. Also those dove face cloths with soap already in them Just add water and scrub! I cut them in half before packing. You ready don’t need a whole one!
I love a long layover! I had 10 hours in Tokyo when coming back from a month trip to Thailand. Went shopping and had a lovely dinner. While only 10 hours, I loved getting a taste of Japan. Not many people can say they stopped in Harijuku for dinner!
never get in a car with strangers … No never! always travel safe and ring your mum once in awhile:)
Linda, are you a mom? 😉
Hitchhiking is a great experience overall: cost effective, and a great way to see more with local people. However, be weary to enter a car with some one you do not have a good feeling about.
If you are in a country where labour is cheap, let others do the work for you!
Sure, you CAN carry your own luggage to the train at a station in India. But it only costs a few rupees to hire a porter and it will help him feed his family!
This is a great point. A couple of bucks may not mean much to you but it can mean a lot to someone else 🙂
I agree. When in Cancun I don’t haggle with the young women selling because they are most likely feeding kids at home.
Great tips! I’m one month away from taking a three-month trip, so little reminders like this are really helping to keep me sane! I’ve traveled before, but the longest trip I’ve ever taken has been around two weeks, and I crave advice for how to switch from short-term to long-term travel!
How exciting, Jessica! Where are you going on your 3-months?
I’m going through seven Mediterranean countries. Cities include Paris, Madrid, La Alberca, Barcelona, Nice, Monaco, Verona, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Athens, Istanbul, and probably a few more places along the way!
Visit Genoa on your way from Monaco to Venice. Great city.
#100 Don’t sweat the small stuff
#101 A smile is often the best hello
Getting ready to head to China in 3 days ! My travel tip is shave a bar of Castile soap with a veggie pealer. Use to wash body, clothes, undergarments. Light weight and not a liquid.
Ooh love it, Suzanna! We may have to try that out!
Great idea. 🙂
#100 – Just go for it! If traveling is something you’ve always wanted to do, make it happen. 😉
This list is awesome! I agree with all of it. 😉
My number 100–There is no “perfect” time to travel, so find a good enough time to go and do it.
Or, my alternative 100: Travel lots before you have kids, then travel when they are little enough, then old enough, but before they are too old (or you are:).
Jane those are both fantastic 100’s!
Love this!! I always hear people say “I want to travel the world, but…” Just go! It’s amazing how a trip can change your life…
Exactly! There’s always a “but”. Why is it never “I want to travel the world, so…”??
This list is amazing. I have been living abroad for 5 years and travel often but in a years time I want to take a year off and travel. So I am already looking at ways to pack better, ect. Yes gals, JUST GO! You will never regret it. This world is such an amazing place and it is not as “dangerous” as people make it out to be. I have been blessed to be in 25 countries, most of those I traveled alone.
#100: The unpacking list is just as important as the packing list!
Oh yeah- how could we forget something like that?! I agree completely.
I usually leave behind: pillow, blanket, shoes and replace it with something new I get .
Some of these ring so true! I just got back from several weeks traveling around Europe and by the end, I was very tired. Because I was moving around a lot, I would want to push myself to see as much as I could however, after a while I was just so tired. I allowed myself to take a morning or a night in and watch a movie or call my family which helped. I also didn’t run around trying to see absolutely everything in one trip. I know I will make my way back eventually so I know now what I want to see on my next trip! I also recommend organizing yourself for the airport security as well as getting a good guidebook to organize your day.
Being prepared for airport security is huge. It can take the experience from annoying to unbearable if you’re not prepared!
#100 Keep it super simple, Less is more, Take time to smell the roses, and I agree, put the technology down.
I noticed journaling wasn’t on the list, I don’t journal, but many people do.
I lived overseas for 4 years and traveled so much. Now I’m back home and haven’t traveled in 2 years. Tomorrow I’m heading to Europe for 5 weeks to visit the people I met when I lived overseas. (best part about being a teacher: June, July, & August) I’m taking a smallish carry on backpack. I know I can do laundry anywhere, If my hair is out of control I can put on my cap, and if I break out a little powder is all I need. KISS is my rule: keep it super simple. Happy travels!
Oh journaling! Yes, some sort of way to track a trip, whether that be journaling, blogging, or instagramming is a great point.
KISS all the way! We like things simple 🙂
Call your bank/credit card co. to activate your cards in a foreign country. ATM’s will refuse you currency if you do not call ahead.
Yes! It’s really important! I’ve had to call my credit card company over a crappy Skype connection in Guatemala before and it was no fun.
My #100 Don’t be afraid to let the experience change you, and get your in touch with your inner self on a more spiritual level. Embrace the change, you’ll be better for it!
These are all very helpful and I couldn’t agree with you more!! Blogging is important and helps keep the parents at ease when you don’t have time to Skype them ;)! I am getting ready to leave for Spain and will be visiting Rome, Paris, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, and Iceland. I have been to 21 countries and have some extensive USA travel as well, almost all 50 states! It’s wonderful to hear other people’s experiences while traveling along side my own! THANKS!
Your #100 is excellent Rachel!
Hi Brooke, great summary! I definitely had to learn these things in my year travelling solo. I can only recommend it. It’s not as scary as it sounds.
Definitely not as scary! Where did you go on your year solo?
Hi Brooke, I was in so many places. Travelled most of OZ, New Zealand and was also in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and South Africa, If you are interested, you can stop by my blog for lots of photos and crazy stories.
Travel isn’t about seeing places, its about experiencing people.
People do make the trip special! But the sites can be awesome, too 😉
Never Leave the taxi before the driver does! Unfortunately sometimes they might just take of with your stuff!
Oh Lilly! I’ve been scared of that happening before haha- good point!
done the camino de santiago started alone and finished alone but met a lot of great people on my way … So nr 100 is: dont be scared you will do it ☺️
Aw yeah that’s a good one Verena! How was the Camino by the way?
#100. Don’t expect to shower every day. Baby wipes and dry shampoo do miracles!
So true, Beth!
Love the list Brooke!! 🙂 Learned all of the above travelling, some of the best lessons in life!
I’m planning my 4th solo travel trip at the minute. My 100 tip is chat to the locals you learn such amazing things and have the best fun and most spontaneous experiences!
I’ve partied with Chinese acrobats in Bejing, watched fireworks light up the Sydney opera house from Harbour Bridge on the best date ever and ended up sharing desert with the sweetest couple in San Francisco on their 50th wedding anniversary just by being open to conversations with the locals 🙂
Partied with Chinese acrobats?! Haha that sounds crazy 😉
I loved your post!!! I traveled alone to Brazil it was a very nice experience and i feel so good reading your post!!!! I am shy so it’s difficult to me meet new people, but my travel was nice. I did what i like
There is something to be said about letting the folks at home know you’re OK. My family loves food so when on trips I usually send a handful of family and friends a text each day of a meal or a particularly pretty cup of coffee with a simple message, “today’s lunch” or “coffee in Segovia.” They love (and I love) to get the pictures of a great dish. The message also lets them know “I’m OK.” I also love having the pictures as a momento of my trip when I return.
So happy I found this at Pinterest.
I’m in the process of planning a solo cross-country trip with my vintage travel trailer. I’m hoping to stop at vintage fairs and flea markets all along the way to buy and sell old treasures.
Lots of good advice and inspiration here. Thanks!
#100 Stay hydrated.
Sounds exciting, Susan! And love that #100- so important!
Keep a moment journal. I keep a tiny pink leather Kate Spade journal with me and jot down a few words after an experience. The words are not usually even sentences, just phrases about the scents, the food, the scene, the sounds and the mood of a place I’m in. I can read back those moments years later, close my eyes and for a moment – I’m there again, For instance, one day in Kenya I wrote,” red clay earth, blazing sun, smoked chicken from the cookhouse, women laughing with jugs on their head, their necklaces clink, banana tree sways, lazy leopard.” Doesn’t mean anything to anyone else, but that day is crystal clear in my mind.
Love it! I think those small phrases are actually more descriptive!
Wow. Kate’s too expensive for me. I like the 2 for a $1 small notebooks myself. 🙂
I think this is the BEST idea ever Elle Gray. So few words needed to bring it all back. A must do for me on my next trip in just a few hours.
Thank you,
Christine
#100 dare to jump – try it out, even if you are afraid, if you feel the inner urge to to it. Learn how to surf, take that wave, go bungee jumping, say yes to adventure. AND: You don’t need someone else for most of it, as long as you do what you like you gonna be happy. If you wait for someone else to come with you, you might wait forever.
Exactly! You can’t wait for someone else or else you may never go!
If you see something super-special that will give you a forever memory of your journey, buy it! Ship it home if you need to. We don’t put great value in “things” in our home. However the items with most meaning are generally small & give us memories of our time away & gives us another reason to smile on a daily basis. They are also conversation starters with our children, as well. My 7 year-old is fond of collecting a rock or two from places we visit. They are scattered in little vessels aroun our home. We always pick up the rocks & talk about a particular hike or locale we visited & how the rock came to look a particular way. The kids’ favorite rocks are ones from volcanic areas or thar have been polished by the sea for eons.
We are planning a family gap year in the (hopefully) near future & I will use many of these tips. Thank you!
Great advice 🙂 Good luck on your family gap year planning!
Solo travel isn’t just for young people! I am 52 and often travel solo in Europe because my husband gets less vacation than I do……single supplements are worth it! If you don’t speak another language, focus on countries where English is prevalent like Ireland, the UK, and The Netherlands.
All great tips Darlene! Couldn’t agree more about the solo travel at any age bit! 🙂
In all Scandinavian country people speak great English! Visit: Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Norway.
So true! Also: Denmark!
An abaya is always useful, especially in Kano, Nigeria during the durbar.
Thank you for your tip, Roselyn!
My #100 is you can never know everything about traveling but it’s always useful to have a few tips. ? or
Good music can make your trip so much better.
Totally agree with the music! It’s helpful to have something relaxing and also upbeat to help with those tough travel days.
Although I haven’t done a whole lot of travelling, just freaking do it!!
I’ve been dying to travel again ever since I went on a cruise in May of 2014, and now I’m starting to seriously look into trips for 2017. But I am afraid because I haven’t done any travelling without my parents before, so it makes me nervous. I’d be going with my boyfriend, but it’s just the fear of the unknown that’s holding me back!
I want to go so badly, though!
Oh, Kelly! Don’t let the fear hold you back! You’ll be fine traveling with your boyfriend (and even by yourself!). We are here cheering for you at HPL- drop me an email if you need some pointers on getting started 🙂
I don’t think I even realized you replied to me! Sorry!!
Update, I am going on my first solo trip in 9 days!!! My boyfriend broke up with me so I have no one to go with except myself so I took the plunge and booked it!
My dad is concerned so I promised I would do somewhere in North America first to try it out, and to go with a tour group, which is Topdeck! I am heading out to Vancouver for three days before meeting up with my tour and I am absolutely freaking out about literally everything!
But I have a feeling that after this trip I will be hooked on solo travel!
As someone who worked in a backpackers hostel, we remember the backpackers who are appreciative and respectful. If we saw them while drinking or out for dinner we would give them extra discounts or shout them a couple drinks etc. We would throw farewell parties for long term stayers too
Awesome, Sonny. I wish I had stayed at your hostel before 😉
I like them all but #40… some don’t change.. but more than anything.. they don’t expect you to have changed so much… and what is shocking.. is we read these things… and honestly don’t expect them to change… and treat them.. exactly the way some treat us.. and we seem like travel snobs… I think….again.. only MY life experience.. that really I changed.. and NO one expected that, or was prepared to deal with that… and having had been on the other side receiving the traveler home.. I knew to expect things to be different for some.. making my re entries… smoother… because I had learned to observe so well on the road…
Sure, not every experience is the same. Thank you for sharing your experience, Anika! We don’t want anyone to come back a “travel snob”; I think there’s just the reality that while you were away having adventures, the majority of people back home will have been going about their usual routines- and in some cases it will be hard to relate. We have to be prepared for that.
#100 Having short hair will make your beauty routine A LOT more simple. It will also confuse people in some cultures (*cough* Thailand, the United States) and you might have to explain that you are not a boy. Worth it for the simplicity though!
Thanks for sharing, Elena! You had trouble with short hair in the US?
I actually find long hair easier to manage. I just pull it up in a bun or ponytail and go. Short hair needs to be trimmed all the time or maintained. Just my opinion.
I had a great solo vacation planned to NYC. I had to travel for work the week before vacation. I became so sick that there was no way I could get back on a plane for vacation. So my $1400 flight and hotel? I got every bit of it back except $75 I had paid for insurance. I even had purchased insurance on my Broadway show ticket. So I was refunded the $100+!!! Insurance is totally worth the money. I was so upset that I couldn’t go on vacation, but knowing I wasn’t going to lose all the money helped ease my mind.
Don’t trust everyone – particularly those who approach YOU! Women are favorite targets of suave CON-artists and will say anything to gain your CONfidence. That’s why they’re called CON artists!!! If you didn’t approach them – treat them like the snakes they probably are.
A terrific website. Practical, no-nonsense travel tips. I just received a tex from my friend
traveling in Africa. She will fill me in when she arrives back home.
I like the comment about leaving technology at home. Every culture is different. First comes respect.Then an open mind and faith in God will see you through. Life is impossible without
God, especially when traveling. In the near future, with health permitting, I would love to pack light and go. The sights of Africa truly intrigue me.
My #100 very practical – panty liners
LEAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AT HOME…..just got back from a month touring Europe with 4 friends and I have never been so disgusted in my life. You are traveling for you! Take a few pictures for memories but over 100 pictures a day posted on your social media accounts just so your mother can say how cute you look is beyond aggravating to your fellow travel companions and completely misses the point of traveling.
Brooke,
Please say more about #76 (plastic bags are a hostel dorm room nightmare). Not sure what problem or situation you are referencing.
Thanks! Kathy
Hi Kathy – There is nothing more annoying than being woken up in the middle of the night or early in the morning to the sound of someone else in the room rustling through plastic bags. If you keep your belongings in plastic bags or other loud material compartments, do everyone a favor and unpack those items when you arrive or before you need them. Also, if you know you’ll be coming back to your room late, then have your nighttime items (toothbrush, pajamas, etc) set out so you don’t have to turn the main room light on (at least not for long). And, if you’re leaving early in the morning, try and do the majority of your packing the night before and then take your final items out to the hall or a common room to finish up. It’s the polite thing to do 🙂
I had the same question as I am encouraging my travel companions to use plastic bags. Good thoughts and I will pass this “etiquette” on to them!
Dear Brooke, thanks for clarifying! Kathy
Thanks for all the tips. I’m setting off on my first solo trip in July 2016 to France and Bali. At 49 years of age! I love reading everyone’s advice, thank you so much
Sounds like a blast! Have a great trip, Corinne! 🙂
Dear Brooke,
Loved all the tips you’ve mentioned in here.. I’m travelling to Srilanka on the 5th of June 2016 and then i will be heading to Maldives from there… just another 3 days to go..
this is the first time I’m going to be travelling alone.. though i have traveled before this to various other countries but i have always had known people with me..
I am definitely a little nervous but this time I’m just going to let lose myself for new things !
Can’t wait to meet the person i will be once i return back home !
Have an awesome trip Chrystal!!
thank you ! 🙂
Hi Chrystal, i am planning on doing the exact same trip next august! Did you go with a company by any chance? pmgy? Hope you had a fab time!!
Maybe take a self defense class. You never know when you might need it. Although it’s unlikely, it’s good to learn.
yes! i guess pepper spray works best!
Pepper spray can work, but it may be banned in some countries, like Canada! Not worth the risk of it being confiscated or not being able to enter the country because of a restricted “weapon”
My #100 would be to keep some kind of journal of your travels. Where did you go, what you think of it, how it inspired or changed you. People you met. I’ve been travelling for 25 years and journaled only half the time. I wish I would’ve started earlier.
Yes, agreed, and those are so great to read later on! 🙂
My 100 is a lightweight plastic door stop! Weighs very little to carry but can be used to prevent anyone from opening your room door whether its a train a hostel even a cabin on a boat with a wedge in place only you can open the door from the inside! Happy travels!
Just a note on #45, leave your cultural relativism at home.
45. Women just aren’t treated the same –in some countries–.
Thanks for the great suggestions. Im heading to Britain for myfirst solo travel at age 70. I’m doing a lot of walking to get in better shape before I go.
#100 go whenever you can, I started traveling at 15 (thanks MOM and DAD!) and I’m taking my first trip to China at 58.
#101 spend the money on massages and if there’s a jacuzzi or hot tub, use it, helps those muscles work in the morning.
thanks.. this is so true..I will start my solo travelling march next year for 3month to Istanbul,Bulgaria,egypt,Germany,hong Kong and macao..I am so excited.
Lol how ironic: #23: “take other travelers advice with a grain of salt.” 😜
Haha yes true. It’s supposed to mean that people have different things they like, so while one person doesn’t recommend Destination A, it doesn’t mean that you won’t have an awesome time there. Happened to me so many times! 🙂
Great Post!
keep some local coins in your pocket or purse. some places charge for the restroom.
Don’t forget a pen! You’ll need it to fill out Customs forms and flight attendants do not have enough for everyone.
(All of these things apply to males too!) I agree with everything!
#100 Go with the flow! It’s ok to ditch the itinerary!
For long flights, wear compression socks.
Why #76? i’ve never stayed in a hostel so don’t understand what’s wrong with plastic bags. i love everything else – traveling solo as a woman is the only way to go!
Hehe oh my, I have had many a good sleep disturbed by people rummaging for their stuff in the middle of the night… in plastic bags! It’s the most annoying and unnecessary sound to deal with (besides snoring of course) when staying in dorm rooms 🙂
Great tips! I am travelling solo for the 1st time this month for 5 days, glad i read your post! Here’s hoping for a great experience!
Always have something you can use as an improvised weapon. I was attacked when I was by myself while traveling in Europe, and I defended myself with a tiny knife keychain I bought as a trinket! Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Always have your country’s embassy phone number on your phone in case of an emergency.
#100 – Respect the country and people you are visiting – remember you are a guest and should behave as one!
My #100–It’s never too late. I’m 71 and will be traveling solo to New Zealand in a few months. It’s really good incentive to keep in shape (5 days a week at the gym). Husband no longer wants to travel and women friends don’t want to go the same places. GO for it!
When you are starting running out of money or you think you can save money after a wild shopping day, you can spot the nearest supermarkets to your hotel in order you can save in meals or beauty supplies. With this, you are not only saving money, you would know local products.
Norwex cloths! The travel cloth pack of 4. They are antibacterial and small. I have washed myself and my kids with them, used them to clean (all that is needed is water) restaurant tables, baby spit up, dishes, airplane trays, stains off clothes and today a kitchen floor in the AirB&B. They have a tag that can be used with a carbiner to attach to luggage or day bag. LOVE THEM!!!
My number one travel tip is to have laser hair removal! I had waited until my fifties, but wish I had done in my twenties! No more shaving-forever! It makes packing easier and showering is a breeze!
