Ugh. I told my homegirl I was going on a solo trip for my birthday and she said, “That’s kind of sad.” Sis, what’s sad is waiting on a groupchat of flaky friends to confirm flights while I’m already sipping a mimosa in Santorini. Lol anyways do any of y’all do solo travel? Tell me your best and worst experiences because I need all the tips.

She's just missing out—solo trips are the ultimate freedom! ✈️ I’ve done a few, and the best part is doing whatever you want, whenever you want. Worst? Maybe a sketchy Airbnb once, but nothing major. Just stay aware, trust your gut, and enjoy every moment. Where else is on your solo travel list?

Yeah...perhaps not Santorini. Not only are the earthquakes out of control, it's a honeymoon spot. Not great for solo travelers anyway.

Try Mykonos. Over the summer. Right now? Caribbean. Central America. South America. 👌🏾

Happy birthday!

I love solo travel! It’s the best treat . In fact, traveling next months. To your friend.. what’s sad is thinking you need to go with someone for it to be exciting 😂

I made a solo trip to visit family, but had a stop in between just to rest and it was kind of eye opening! You don’t have to communicate with anyone else, just do whatever you want. Go out, stay in, you aren’t on anyone else's time. I have done girls trips, like 1 or 2 others, and those are fun, but something about the freedom of by yourself really is next level.

I have done solo trips inside and outside the US. It really is a freeing experience. I spent my 35th birthday in Rome and it was my first solo international trip and I loved it! I've had a good friend/travel buddy and that was great to travel with for years until we had a dispute over money. The only thing is not having someone to watch your stuff if you have to go to restroom or get food, etc. But I can usually find an honest looking person to help and I have never had an issue.

Yes just not on my bday! Enjoy it & set yourself up some nice spa packages! 💕🥰

I love solo travel because I can do whatever the heck I want. I want to sleep in one morning, I can. If I want to get up early and start sightseeing early, I can. I do not have to wait on anyone or be subject to their whims. Whew!
