1. PACK LIGHT - always, a backpack with a small sling/satchel should suffice, even if it's a 2 weak holiday. Trust me on this, you don't want to carry a heavy suitcase, since many metro stations don't have elevators. 2. If you're in Europe, you won't have to purchase an international SIM card/data. Since most cities have free public wifi. 3. I always recommend people to stay in hostels when traveling solo - it's affordable, and totally worth getting suggestions from locals. You always end up making new friends there, so you won't really be alone. 4. Check out hostels on hostelworld.com, but reserve a room directly from the hostel's website, it's cheaper. 5. POWERBANK IS A MUST! 6. Avoid carrying too much cash, although all hostels offer lockers, it's a safer option to have a FOREX card with you. 7. WALK WALK WALK! The best way to explore a city is on foot - if the weather permits. You never know what you might discover along the way. 8. Be careful how, where and with whom you hitchhike. I usually pick families or an elderly person- Feels safe. Also, avoid hitchhiking on highways for long distance, it's mostly safe in Europe. But if you're traveling, you don't want to waste your time looking for a ride. 9. If you're traveling in Europe - Flixbus is one of the cheapest way to travel to different cities/countries. 10. Don't get scammed! There are people who'd ask you to hold a small bouquet/souvenir and expect you to pay. Just avoid, and continue to walk. 11. Always carry your hostel/hotel card with you, in case you get wasted, and can't remember your way back. 12. When in Europe, respect the traffic signals. Otherwise, you'll have to pay a heavy fine. 13. Tap water is safe to drink in Europe. In India, you know, it's not. 14. If you're a student, you get tickets at a discounted price in Europe. Ok, this is an unethical hack - but you can try to show a fake student ID card, and they MIGHT just accept it. Since they're not so strict about it. 15. ENJOY! Don't get bored even if you're alone. It's an experience in itself. 16. I usually travel by word of mouth. Every place(museum/park/cafe) I visit, I try to strike up a conversation with a fellow local/traveler, and ask what's the best place they've visited in that city. ALWAYS WORKS. 17. Don't be a creep in point number 16. 18. Check the weather of the destination before you pack. If it's mild and warm, I'd just carry 2-3 pair of shorts and multiple shirts/t-shirts. Honestly, nobody cares how you're dressed. 19. Always have some snacks with you in case you plan on exploring cities by foot. 20. You don't have to visit every tourist destination every day, sometimes it's okay to even just not do anything. 21. If it's your first solo trip, I would kind of advice you to plan it in advance. But sometimes it's better to not have a plan. Because you can't really predict how long you'd want to stay in a city you've never visited. 22. Spontaneous planning is fun, until it backfires. But hey, it gives you the thrill unlike anything else. 23. If you have any other questions, just inbox me!
