Have decided to go on a Trip in proud loneliness? Good idea! In order for everything to be smooth in this adventure, we have collected a few tips for you to help you on your trip.

Do not take extra things with you

The easier your bag, the easier it will be with it because there will not be a friend with you who will help carry it.

Do not put all the money in one place

This advice applies to everyone, but for an independent traveler it is especially important because there will not be anyone next to who can borrow you Money. Divide cash into several parts, use a safe, bank cards (it is better to have several ones: in case of losing one of them can be blocked and transfer money to another), secret pockets.

Take copies of your documents

Be sure to make a scan copy of all your documents and keep them separate from the originals in case of loss. In addition, take a photo of the first page of the passport and save the photo on your smartphone. Let it always be at hand!

Make a note with your hotel address in your smartphone

Be sure to save on your smartphone the address of the Hotel or the hotels where you plan to stay: if you get lost in an unfamiliar city, you can find your hotel, dictation of the address to the taxi driver or clarifying the road at the tourist information desk.

Do not forget about insurance

It is better to arrange your annual insurance for a period of stay abroad for up to 90 days. Even if you decide to go on a trip spontaneously – insurance will already be with you. And in general, do not ignore this item. There are unpleasant moments on the trip, and treatment abroad can be very expensive.

Connect roaming or buy a local operator’s SIM-card

If you are going to spend a lot of time in a new country, be sure to stock up with the local SIM or connect your roaming, so your account must have the required amount. This will save you money and always stay in touch with your loved ones.
