you have to request and prove yourself before them.
I come from a generation where the word solo travel word was never heard. It was either travelling with family or school picnic. When my children asked me about solo travel, my reaction was cool with a thumbs up, though I couldn’t ignore the thud within my heart and mind portraying words like “safety” “carefulness” and more. Solo travel is not travelling alone, it is more of learning about situations, enjoying what you like, finding ways for a great life ahead and above all being in the me time-my space which is an important part of life.
They were extremely happy about this. yeah but security issues are their major concern. I talk with them and sent my location everyday to them to ensure i am safe.
I started by taking my mom out with me, we travelled together and even experienced staying in hostels. She had never done this and so she loved the idea of meeting fellow travelers, sharing stories and experiences. All it took was one trip to show her how liberating and empowering it can be. It took some explaining and convincing after this to get the permission to travel solo. I hope you too get to travel solo this year! All the best :)
