Solo travelling as a noob: need some advice
I’m graduating in October, and wanna take a break for 2 months before I officially become a “corporate slave”. As a girl I’ve never had the freedom/opportunity to travel solo internationally and I am planning on visiting Thailand in mid Oct. I’d love some tips on: 1) How to overcome the fear (I’m someone who’s watched wayyy too may true crime shows and I’m paranoid lol) 2) How to calculate expenses for a week long trip to Thailand from Blore (I’ve heard it’s mostly b/w 60-75K) Any help would be appreciated! ✨
Had done the same thing post graduating
It was scary at times, just being out in the mountains sometimes all by myself (I had gone to Himachal)
But overall, I think it was an important experience. Just helps with knowing a little bit more about you.
Nothing will happen - statistically speaking
Yeah it really is an important experience and it’s definitely something that I’ve been wanting to do for ages!
Just go for it... If you are feeling to much hesitation then take a partner.
If spent carefully budget is enough for 2-3 weeks to be honest.
The reason I’m going alone is ‘cause friends have some or the other issues i.e. budget/strict parents etc. and I’m single so a partner is outta question 🥲
@Kingslayer , for a girl that doesn't suit as a Username. FYI, that's the Username I generally use everywhere🤣
Anyways, kudos for planning international trip. Solo travels are a bit scary at the beginning, you should be fine, check some online blogs/resources for places to visit and what all items to take while backpacking.
For expenses -
Divide it in these segments and figure out the costs based on online research -
Food
Hotel/accommodation
Travel - Public transport or Cab etc
Visa Fees, flight tickets
Shopping for local items etc
Sightseeing and paying for any specific events or rides in parks etc
