I’ve been traveling the last month and some odd days alone, so I’ve learned a few tidbits of advice along the way that should help any traveler on their journey to see the world completely alone.

My advice for long term travelers who travel alone
1. Alone isn’t always alone – Since staying in youth hostels in this journey, I’ve only had a few days where I felt alone.  Usually I’ve been quick to make new friends.  Just be open and sociable. Talk to everyone.

2. Stay in Youth Hostels – Youth hostels are one of the best places to sleep cheap and meet fellow travelers, many of whom are also traveling alone.

3. Keep Busy – See the local attractions. Do some exercise (I go running). 

4. Keep Planning Ahead – I’ve found that the longer I travel, the easier it is to get stuck in one place.  Just keep planning the nextx leg of your trip to keep going. Or if possible just stay if you really enjoy a city.
