Everyone seems to be in the mood for travel this year, with city breaks and sunny beaches popping up all over our Instagram feeds.
However, if you don't have an assigned travel companion, traveling alone can be stressful and stressful. Blogger Jesse Moore wants solo travelers to gain the confidence to go on adventures without fear.
Visiting new places and countries is a great opportunity to expand your cultural knowledge and learn more about yourself, especially if you are self-employed.
Jessie, known on Instagram as PocketWanderings, has teamed up with SkyParkSecure to share her top tips for staying safe and traveling alone with confidence.

Planning is very important

Relaxing on vacation is a great way to not get lost, and being spontaneous is a sure way to explore, but when you're traveling alone, it takes a little more preparation to figure out what you're getting into.
Jessie suggests trying to plan your itinerary to arrive during the day so it's easier to find directions and follow the map. A good tip is to check where you are on Google Street View so you know where you are before you arrive.
He added: "Hotels can be very picky about what is displayed on their website or booking page."
Enter your phone

However, a modern mobile phone is an additional communication, the use of a mobile phone for maps and other information is extremely important. Write down a few emergency numbers on your phone and notepad so you have the details handy if you lose your phone.
In addition to navigation, your phone can be used to share your location with family and friends for everyone's convenience.
Most of us use our phones as cameras, so you probably take them with you to capture memories. Jessie recommends carrying one or two fully charged batteries with you, depending on how far away you are from the charging port.
Don't be afraid to say no

Keeping your head up high means having the confidence to say no to strangers trying to disturb you. If you say yes in your own country, don't say yes just because you are abroad.
This can come as a shock, since most of us want to be polite and reassuring, says Jesse. “If you want to be polite, be firm and rude.
Saying "no" does not mean that you should exclude all experience, but it does mean being sensitive and aware of your surroundings and who you are dealing with.
Don't miss the experience

Contact your roommates and let them know what you have planned for the day, including evening activities or outings.
There are many ways to travel alone, including booking an evening tour to see the sights in a safe group. They may find friends for additional adventures, especially when traveling alone.
Jessie says: “As a young woman who travels a lot on her own, I want to have the confidence to inspire others to do the same. In the world of desktops and laptops, we can all have a little more adventure in our lives. »
