Is this you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day you put a message in the group text that says, \u201cHey, we should take a trip together!\u201d Your group of friends that you’ve known for yearsss are all for it and begin to throw out possible destinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They get enthusiastic about the places y\u2019all could visit and how fun it would be to go together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miami!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bali!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamaica!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paris!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or, Barcelona!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, finally, y\u2019all decide on a destination and everyone enthusiastically agrees. Now, the day comes to either purchase the plane ticket (a ticket for the low low) or put some money down for the trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One by one, people begin to drop out. Enthusiasm becomes excuses. Eagerness becomes procrastination. But you’re determined to take this trip. If only you can convince at least one person\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is solo traveling scary? Hell yes, but travelers like me have done it anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can think of all the things that can go wrong but imagine the beauty of discovering a place you’ve never been to before. Even though the butterflies in your stomach are fluttering so much, take a deep breath and read what I have to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your friends drop out and your group trip turns to a solo trip, don\u2019t worry. Go solo! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve already put in the effort to corral your friends, choose a destination, look for flights, and create a preliminary itinerary. So, before you think about the actual trip, check-in with yourself and find out why you\u2019re fearful of this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
