Traveling Solo For the First Time? Do these Seven Things First
Check your passport expiration date You need a passport to travel but if you are reading this I assume you already have one. But do you know your expiration date? Check your passport and make sure you have more than six months before the expiration date. Many countries won’t let you in if you don’t have at least six months left on your passport.
Find out whether you need a Visa for entry. Know whether a visa is required for entry to your destination. A visa is not the same as a passport. If a visa is required make sure you have the lead time to get it before you want to leave. Some countries will let you apply upon arrival but many will not so do your homework. You can look up visa requirements for countries by visiting travel.state.gov.
Find out their COVID-19 & vaccine requirements Many countries open up to tourism again but will require not only proof of negative COVID-19 test but also proof of vaccination with quarantine requirements.
Plan Your Itinerary and organize it Once you have followed steps 1-3, you are ready to book you trip and plan your itinerary. Use sites like Booking.Com, Kayak, and Hopper to find the best rates for hotels and flights. Organize your travel plans in one place using an app like TripIt and plan to share it with your friends and family so they can keep track of you while you travel!
Buy Travel Insurance Once you’ve booked your flight buy travel insurance. Purchase travel insurance and rest easy. Many include coverage for lost baggage, canceled flights as well.
Have a Travel Safety Plan Do some research on your destination from a safety and security perspective and put together a solo travel safety plan.
Get familiar with the native language of your destination If English is not the native language of your destination, download the Google Translate app to your phone and save common phrases so that you can readily communicate about basic things.
Get solo traveling with joy and confidence!
