17+ Important Things you need to know when travelling alone.

Wherever you are in the world, some questions always come back: How to meet people? What can I do when I’m alone? What kind of food is common? How can you adjust easily? How can I relax when I’m stressed? The answers are in this post, just keep reading.

I recently came back to one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, the one that gives me great energy each time and I never get enough of. From beaches and gorgeous landscapes to very famous cities like Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples…

Italy!  This time, I discovered the very South of Italy, from Bari to Lecce and Otranto. Being in a new environment for some weeks gives me a lot of energy, a lot of new ideas and I rediscover answers to the most common questions about travelling or living abroad.

Be creative, make it fun and enjoy your chats. Here’s how:

 

Take a deep breath. When you’re travelling alone, some days are great and exciting, and some days are less exciting. You are not alone on this journey. Make sure you have a ton of GREAT days!
