Turn your Solo Travel into an Adventure with These 4 Tips

Traveling alone may seem like a challenge, but in reality it is an exciting opportunity for unique experiences and unforgettable adventures.

At Appvisor, we have prepared these useful tips to help you make the most of your next solo adventure.

1. Choose your Destination and Do your Research

To ensure that your solo travel is safe and enjoyable, it is essential to thoroughly research your destination. Knowing where you are going will give you a clear picture and reduce the chances of unexpected problems. Here are some key points to consider:

• Currency and Costs: Familiarize yourself with the local currency and prices to plan your budget. In Colombia, for example, the Colombian peso (COP) is the official currency, and knowing the cost of living in cities such as Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena can help you adjust your budget.

• Culture and Language: Learn about the local culture and language to better communicate and respect local traditions.

• Map and Safety: Get a map of the area and mark the cities you plan to visit. Research the safest areas to stay and move around. According to ProColombia's Solo Tourism Report (2023), 12% of Colombian travelers opted to travel alone in 2023, highlighting Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena as favorite destinations due to their improved infrastructure and security for tourists.

2. Make the Most of Your Alone Time

Traveling alone gives you the freedom to make decisions based on your own tastes and interests. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your time alone:

• Activities and Events: Check the local calendar for fairs, festivals, cultural and sporting activities that might interest you - don't miss anything!

• Cultural Respect: Respect local customs and traditions to avoid misunderstandings and enjoy the experience in a more authentic way.

3. Safety and Preparations

Safety is key when traveling alone. Here are some tips to keep you safe:

• Trust your Instinct: If something doesn't seem safe, don't hesitate to seek immediate help.
