My first time traveling alone I went to Paris. I was super excited to see the city untethered by any one else’s desires, to have my experiences be mine alone, to eat what I wanted, go where I wanted, go to sleep when I wanted.
I remember sitting by the Seine on an unusually warm spring day, laying out my sweater to lie back and look at the sky. Something about my life had been bothering me for months, and I had been putting it off, shoving it down, ignoring it, you know, just not dealing with it. I suddenly shot up. Voila! I knew what I had to do. And when I got home I did it.
Time with yourself in an unfamiliar place brings with it the opportunity for reflection, inspiration, serendipity and discovery. Maybe you’re a woman who has never done a solo trip. Maybe it’s the only way you travel. More likely it’s somewhere in between. No matter how you live that solo travel life, we have a suite of articles to inform and inspire you.
Here are recommendations from Black female travelers for the best places to travel solo, ideas for female solo travel in India, and a brand new budget night train service that is a dream for solo travelers.
