Read some tips for first-time solo travellers and decide if the statements below are True, False, or Not stated.
So, you have decided to go on your first solo trip. You have already chosen the destination and probably planned your preparation for the trip. What's next?
First, it would be a good idea to start saving up right now. Count how much money you will need for all the necessary things, such as transport, accommodation, food, and entertainment. Decide how much time it will take you to collect the sum. Divide your time into short periods (like weeks) and try to save the necessary part of the sum at the end of each period.
Secondly, don't forget about your international passport. If you don't have it, apply for it right now. If you have a passport, check if it needs to be renewed soon. The passport must be valid all through your trip.
Finally, you need to think about visas and vaccinations in advance. Check if you need a visa to visit your destination country. Apply for it as soon as possible. Safety is extremely important, so find out about the necessary vaccinations for tourists in your destination country.
