I like to think I've always had this super independence to me. I am my mothers daughter and I did sign my life away skydiving at the ripe age of 16, yes.. 16. Basically what I'm saying is that I've never been normal, but you don't have to be some kid with a screw loose in her brain to make your first solo trip. All you need to do is push "book" and board that flight.
One question I always get asked is "how do I start" or "how did you do it". My best answer is to just go for it and not even think twice. Book the trip then have that "oh shit" moment when you're on the plane and its too late for your fears or cock block voice in your head to say "ehh maybe you should just stay home and be lame"
When I travel I put myself in so many situations where I feel uncomfortable and its addicting as fuck. I love the shit out of myself. Im so proud with the person I've became because of traveling solo.
If I want to do something, I dont even think twice I just do it. I dont ned anyone and especially not a man. Ive learned to talk to strangers and how to hold conversations with anyone. I've learned that at the end of the day, you really only have yourself. Ive learned to embrace and love new cultures, languages, and all sorts of people.
I've met some of the most amazing and inspiring people as well as some of the worst. The personal growth journey of traveling solo has just been amazing and I hope to inspire other girls and guys to try it, At least once! Enjoy this crazy ride called life and try something new.
