First 48 Hours of Solo Travel. Stay Grounded, Not Anxious.
For women on their first solo trip, here’s a calming list of things to do (and not do) to ease into your adventure with confidence and care.
✅ Get at least 7–8 hours of sleep (or a good nap!)
✅ Eat a nourishing meal and hydrate
✅ Go for a slow walk in daylight. Bonus if it’s near water or nature!
✅ Journal, read, or listen to a comforting podcast
✅ Book a tour or photoshoot to ease into socializing
✅ Connect with a local guide who speaks your language
✅ Post in a solo female travel group for inspiration and encouragement
✅ Don’t feel guilty for doing “nothing”. You’re adjusting.
✅ Bookmark a virtual therapy app in case you need a talk
✅ Remind yourself: This is part of the process. It gets easier.
Solo Reminder:
Every confident solo traveler once had a Day One. You’re not behind, you’re just getting started.
