Start your solo adventure, in this post, I share what I think is the right mindset to travel alone, travel solo quotes, money advice, and safety suggestions!

When I told my father, that I wanted to go Ushuaia (an island in the southest part of Argentina and the world! )

He asked me why and told me that there was nothing there! That it was a waste of time and pretty crazy and stupid idea …

But I didn’t listen, bought a one-way flight, took my savings with me and went to the unknown ( just like movies, I don’t like to spoil me the details, so I went without knowing much about that city ).

And you know what? I was the first time I traveled solo and without much plans, and I was a great experience! Got tons of sweet memories from those times!

Ushuaia is medium-large town ( or you can even call it a small city ) is a lovely place, and I have lot of rich memories from those times :D

Travel solo quotes

Travel is never a matter of money, but of courage – Pablo Coelho

How many times have you’ve been told something similar by your friends or family? The worst part ( and sadly a common thing) is that my dad never was in Ushuaia at all!

That trip lasted for 8 months for me, when I arrived I started looking for a place €to spend a few days, I wanted to take 2 days to do trekking and exploring the zone before starting to look for a job.

While I was exploring restaurants, I started talking with the waiter, and as joke I told him something like ” the food here is great, but what I love is the place, don’t you need a waiter?” and the answer was “actually we do, the manager is right there I will call him”.

The conversation with the manager was even more uncommon, he asked about my previous experience working as waiter, and I told him I had none, but that if he was willing to give me a chance I wasn’t going to disappoint him, left him my phone and 2 days after he called me to work :)

So, less than 5 days after arriving Ushuaia, I found a job, I also was getting to know people around me.

Working in restaurants its a great way to save money, while keeping eating healthy and tasty ^^

I think every place can be a special place for you if you have the right mindset ;)

Travel solo quotes

Travel is still the most intense mode of learning – Kevin Kelly

I’ll be honest, not everyday is x-mas when you travel solo.

When you traveling alone, the road is full of challenges but is important to keep a positive attitude, to be willing to commit, knowing that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going ;)

It’s important to learn to listen more and talk less, to be aware of your surrounds, to keep calm and always keep the focus on your goal.

So to end this post I want to tell you that the best place to go 2017 is the place you want to go! Trust in you, and don’t listen to negative people!

And you…. where will you go next? :D
