I Went on a few one day solo trips on my scooty, I just pack minimal with some active wear, few fruits, some spicy snacks, a knife and match box, . I choose a mountain or hill with the possibility of any kind of pond or a lake on it. I will start by morning 6am, reach the place by 7:30 get to the top by 9, rest there Nd bath/swim in the pond for sometime, then eating fruits and sleeping  under a tree till 2pm, then start exploring here and there by snacking, get some pictures clicked , then start coming down...get some things or anything which can be memory for this trip....while coming back to home, stop nearby and get some fresh fruits and vegetables from farm stalls on roadside. 🚶

How do you do solo trip? Meet new people? Any pro tips? New life goals!- Grapevine

Hey guys I’ve never travelled solo in my entire life. Where and How should I start?

There are few questions I’ve like:
1. How to handle accommodations?
2. Concern about the safety and security.
3. How to decide which places to visit. I mean can’t roam around uselessly, must have a list of places to visit.
4. Whom to believe, in the sense that, a lot of people are ready scam you when they find you are new here, how to handle that.

If you travel solo very often, then suggest some pointers to keep in mind.
So, guide me here plzz.
Thanks 🫡

How do you plan solo travelling ?

The number of times I've heard people say shit like 'traveling makes you grow as a person'. Someone please specify what this growth looks like because I've never experienced it.

I don't think traveling is life-changing. I think most people have a romanticized, cinema-like idea of traveling that has been exaggerated even more because of social media. 

It definitely is fun to go on a vacation. But in most cases, that's all it is -- a source of entertainment. Maybe an ice-breaker the next time you go to some pretentious party. 

Am I missing something?

Is travelling overrated?

It depends how & where u travel.  
  
 I will put a quick example - Someone close to me always assumed ki roads usually breakdown in monsoons because it is normal in india. Once they traveled abroad and to a tropical island where rains are very common. After seeing the roads there, first comment was - “Roads don’t break always due to rains”. So, this was a life long learning for that human, broke the mirage of road quality and execution in India.  
  
 Similarly, once I went to a 3-days long trek with a friend to inner jungles of SEAsia. We had to carry drinking water with us & took bath in flowing river. If you have seen “Iss jungle se mujhe bachao” (desi version of fear factor) was shot there. This friend of mine after landing back made a statement “yaar jisne bhi shower invent kiya hai, it’s a big gift”. Takeaway from this travel was - He was able to appreciate the simplest thing which we take for granted.  
  
 Many people learn new things about culture, practices of a new place. My personal surprise was when I traveled to Bali and saw similarities between theirs n ours practices. Helped me to go back n read about various things of empires.  
  
 Multiple such stories, so yeah, it depends!

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! ✨

Solo travelling as a noob: need some advice

Content Strategist

I’ve done a bit of both solo and group travel, and each has its pros and cons.  For me, solo travel is refreshing, I can do whatever I want without waiting for anyone, but group travel is also a lot of fun to create memories with friends.

What’s your take on this?

Solo travel vs group travel. Which one do you prefer and why?

Been thinking about going for an international trip lately. Asked a bunch of friends, but it looks like it's just gonna be me. Anyone here who has travelled solo? Thoughts on those "Make My Trip" packages? Or any other cool recommendations?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

I've been stuck with a strong urge to go on a vacation somewhere. The last I went was in March 2021; since then, only work trips (if at all)

I have visited 16 out of 29 states for work or family holidays. 

Now need the confidence to travel solo.
How do I start? I have a little money stashed, so the budget can be managed.
I have my passport, but waiting to be used :(

Please help me with the nitty gritties, how to plan, what to look for, and how to spend in a foreign place.

And Suggestions for places are always welcome.

Planning trips with friends seems impossible now, planning to join groups from trekking, wondering if it is a good idea as i will be solo and people might come in groups.

Travelling solo in a group

Reddit hasn't been helpful, so here goes nothing. I, a 24 yo single child with over protective parents who jas never let me go on trips until last year, have decided to go on a community trip. it is via one of those Instagram pages who take a bus full of people to remote treks, have all the rooms+food+expenses covered in one fee. they will be going to tirthan valley and its a 3days trip.

i have mixed emotions. i am feeling excited, adventurous, a bit raunchy and a whole lot of scared and conscious. The crime patrol and delhi crimes have ruined a lot of dreams for me, and have made my parents downright paranoid. i have recently been feeling like a kid who gets everything from someone else and don't know how to survive on my own, so want to close my eyes a bit, trust the world and take this adventurous trip

Well that's the post. I have been to trips with my parents and friends, so i will probably figure out what to take or not take. I don't wanna ask you, the audience to share some advice or be my damsel in distress but this step is scary, exciting and full of unknowns so just shared my thoughts. I will appreciate your thoughts on this too
