My unexpected solo trip to South-East Asia

Hey Wanderlusters!

So 2017, was definitely a year that I really challenged myself and forced myself to get out of my comfort zone.

I solo travelled for the first time in January 2017 and I have now been to seven countries on my lonesome.

Looking back now, I realise that I probably wouldn’t have tried solo travelling last year if it wasn’t for my goal to visit 25 countries before I turned 25 (check out the countries I visited and the pictures).

Seven reasons why you should solo travel at least once

A few years ago, my friend told me that she was going to Paris on her own. Being the good friend that I am, I obviously had to invite myself, as everyone knows it’s not safe for a woman to travel alone after all!

Fast forward to today, and I have now solo travelled to seven countries and in two weeks, I will be off to Lisbon on my first solo trip of 2018. I am challenging the limitations that I once placed upon myself.

Thankfully, my friend Maria got to finally have her own solo trip last September, since I hijacked her first attempt. Sorry about that! ?

Where is Ohrid, you ask? Ohrid is a small city in Macedonia.

Never head of Macedonia either? Well it’s located in South-East Europe; bordering Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania.

This is beginning to sound a bit like a geography lesson lol!

If you hadn’t heard of Ohrid or Macedonia, don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Most people that I have spoken to about my trip to Ohrid, had never heard of Ohrid or Macedonia.

Ten tips for taking amazing pictures on your solo trip

In an ideal world, you’d meet a hot local on your travels, who not only wants to show you around their hometown, but who also turns out to be a talented photographer and wants to help you get them Instagram worthy shots.

Well in reality, there isn’t a hot local turned photographer, or maybe I’m just not that lucky lol. In my experience, there is just me and my camera.

This, however, does not mean you can’t get them Instagram worthy pictures on your solo trip. Quite a number of my favourite travel pictures, are pictures that I took while solo travelling.
