How I Plan My Solo Trips | Choosing Destinations, Creating Itineraries, Travel Hacks

What is your process for planning a trip? How do you choose your destinations?

Welcome to l'm from Marocco

I spent 2 months waiting for friends to jump but seems like now I have to go solo haha. Thank You for the tips.

Thanks a lot, I like your channel.

Great video! Sorry if I'm not suppose to be here I wanted to add my method. I don't ask myself what I want to do or see. I ask myself what I want to experience. Do I want to experience culture, beaches, cuisine, history, etc. I plan my budget and destinations by searching "my destination country" and find a backpacker blog about it. They travel the same way and style as I do. I look for free walking tours of a city. There's no tickets or reservations needed the guides work for tips. This way the tours are really good and you get to meet other backpackers and travellers. I never have a concrete plan. I keep my plans fluid. Normally, I have an idea of places I want to go to and see. I tend to meet other travellers and they'll share ideas for me I never knew existed.

This is a very good video. I like it very much. Thank you! You have so many exotic trips, why your husband doesn’t go with you? I need to plan some solo trip, because. I want to retire early, but my husband doesn’t want to retire early.

What travel insurance do you normally use?

I like this, Allison. If you enjoy doing this type of video, maybe you would you be interested to review our travel planning site?

Please let me know and thanks. :)

Your information is the best of anyone's that I have seen!

I love the very last tip — send your itinerary to a friend or family member! ❤️ very helpful. Doing my FIRST solo trip in 3 weeks whew!

Waw, all this is (over)work is unnecessary...

Great advice, thanks for sharing 👍🏻

I think it's the coolest thing ever that your husband is supportive of you doing solo travel. 😭❤😭

Great tips! Thank you so much. Mexico here I come!

Come to india Allison …south india Tamilnadu and kerala …😎😎you will enjoy

Allison, do people ask you constantly why your husband doesn’t go on your travels? It happens allllll the time to me, he just doesn’t have a huge desire, but I think I’m getting closer to convincing him! I’m just tired of explaining it to others.

Ok Allison, I'd love a template for planning a trip lol is that possible?

This is great! I am building out a 1988 chevy van home to travel and work in film and tv and I have been worried bc I am a solo female traveler so I really want to make sure I take extra safety precautions. Thank you for making a video for fellow women. It can be a battle to be a woman in this world but we are so much safer if we have each other's backs<3

Where can I find tour guides, or apps to find tours?Thanks so much

Thank you for all your tips for beginners!

This was very informational, thanks for sharing! I am currently planning my 2nd solo trip. Headed to LA to visit family/the national parks nearby (Death Valley, Channel Islands, etc).

A hostel private room is pretty much gonna run you the same price as a low start hotel. At that point I'd suggest the hotel bc you'd have your own shower etc.

My first solo travel was to Ireland. My first reason I choose Ireland was: Titanic (It will take me to: Belfast and Queenstown/Cobh). But also the music and dance... I have follow a Irish Band for 10 years in a row. But also the pictures and documentaries I saw about the country - the scenery was so beautyfull - from the hills to the glens. I stayed in the capitols: Belfast and Dublin at bed and Breakfast - love it. The host is so helpfull and nice. I didn't need anything. I want to see must of ireland so - From the capitols - I went on bus- and traintours to north- west and southireland, were I met other people. I maid plans for what to see and eat - but also keep a space to suggest from the locals - my host.. I remember I lost for my telephone - my host help me with the police, look around my room and on my last day - they lend their telephone to me - so I could call home. I only use my phome - when I arrive and go home. I have a adapter - I cut use in their country and a travelbook.

Do you have any advice on booking tours for one? I ran into issues a couple times, where you have to have more than one person. Or they charge you for two.

Thank you! Great tips!!

Love this. Great tips!!

I'm so ready! I did a solo trip to Denver a few years ago to cut my teeth and now once Japan opens again I plan to visit.

Just visited antigua semi solo, Niagara falls and planning Iceland later this year both solo

Somehow I thought you are not married

Love your videos! Thank you!

Love these tips! Thank you.

thank you , excellent advices

OK you just threw me for a loop when you said your husband. I just assumed you were single and that’s why you traveled solo. I’m watching it because I am married and my husband does not seem to have the interest in travel that I do.

Don't forget visit lombok indonesia hehe

How do you start your budget for these trips? I don't know where to begin!

1. create a list of possible destinations
2. research best times to visit those destinations
3. check visa requirements & book flights
4. purchase travel insurance
5. create your itinerary
6. book your hotel
7. research & plan transportation
8. create a packing list
9. figure out how you will have wifi
10. send you itinerary to 2 people so they will know where you are

I stop my dream going to south Korea

This has been helpful! Thank you! I went on my 1st solo trip to Hawaii & it was spontaneous, but I had an amazing time there! However, Id like to plan out my trips, so that I can save $$ & be prepared!

New subscriber here. Thank you for the tips! 😊😊😊

This is a bunch of great advice 😊👍

How do people get around when they travel solo? The biggest expense during travel is car rental and gas. Even a 2-3 day trip seems to cost 250+

Love this video very helpful

nice pic sis...what camera you used?

I have a Honda pilot starting with a platform ,
I'm senior citizen.

Wow! So cool! Thanks for the information. By the way, when you took the cooking class in Japan, how did you book it? Thanks!

I love solo travel, I can't wait to get out there again!

I thought tmobile only included data and texting in the US and europe?? Good to know! It was a huge help having tmobile as my carrier while I was in europe

Love this! great information thank you for sharing 👏
