It\u2019s not the best suggestion if you\u2019re looking to find cheap flights. Instead, it\u2019s a word of wisdom for every person out there who\u2019s been planning their first solo trip for months or even years and finding it hard to make the leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wanderlustforone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2018-03-01-20-1941148323..jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Even though I\u2019ve been a frequent solo traveler since 2009, I still remember the fear and uncertainty of planning&#8211;and pulling off&#8211;a trip by yourself. You&#8217;re likely overwhelmed by all of the details and concerned about things like safety and loneliness. I recall vividly what planning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustforone.com\/perspectives\/the-birth-of-a-solo-traveler\/\">my first solo travel experience<\/a> was like, so when I hear others express the same fears and misgivings I experienced, I can absolutely empathize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019ve been there. I know too well how easy it is to feed the fear and put off traveling. I know the excuses we tell ourselves. &#8220;I&#8217;m too busy.&#8221; &#8220;It\u2019s too self-indulgent.&#8221; &#8220;I can&#8217;t afford it.&#8221; While you may have some valid concerns that could prevent you from following through on your travel plans, one thing I&#8217;ve learned over the years is that once I take the leap and book a flight, or buy the train ticket, or secure the hotel room, all the excuses fall away and everything else seems to fall into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Ready to start putting your solo travel plans into action?
