Have you ever considered solo travel, but the thought of going to another state or country by yourself feels terrifying? You’re in luck because you only need to step outside your front door to experience the solo travel lifestyle! With this month’s local solo travel challenge, I am challenging you to begin getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.
If you plan on embarking on a solo travel trip, you are taking the chance of dining, navigating, entertaining, and depending on yourself. To begin getting comfortable with doing these things or simply embracing a solo travel lifestyle, taking small steps to practice alone time will help you prepare.
The point of this challenge is to get you out of your comfort zone and to do the things you want in life without waiting on anyone else to join you.
Choose from the ideas below throughout the month, and begin to push yourself to do more activities independently.
Local Solo Travel Ideas:
- Go to a movie
