Love this video and the message that whatever you feel is normal. The tips are great but that message is just so important.
Thanks Karen, I agree. 🙂
Great video, I completely agree with everything you said. I love solo travel! I find the experience so much better and it’s so easy to make friends along the way.
Thank you. You really can meet some amazing people travelling solo!
Okay, I get it, you love solo travel, but if you are on your own all the time who takes all those awesome pictures of you? ;D (Seriously, I need to know because I want at least a few pictures of me!)
Haha, it is a combination of a tripod and timer and just asking people. It’s really that simple! ;D
Thanks for such a great video, I am loving this new format and seeing you speak. And I agree with what you are saying too, I LOVE the “alone time” when you are travelling solo, and you are absolutely right in that you can always have company and meet people when you want its just good to have the choice!
Thanks for watching Olivia! It really is, that choice is absolutely paramount. You really can do what you want when you want, and it is great to have the option to just be by yourself and wander or do your own thing too.
