3. Pack smart.
When traveling solo, you need to make sure that
you have everything you need in your carry-on especially your valuables. This way, in case your luggage gets lost, you won’t have to worry about your important documents, your identification, your wallet, and cellphone. Also, make sure to bring the clothes appropriate for the weather in your destination.
4. Be cautious.

5. Enjoy and meet people.
The very purpose of traveling alone is to enjoy and meet new people so make sure that you savor this moment and enjoy as much as you can. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience so make sure that you make the most of it so you can
bring good memories with you when you go back home.
