5 Steps to Solo Travel: Step Two


Listen Later

Dr Travelbest helps women travel solo. Here's to making your next trip extra special. What is Step Two? It’s the second of five steps that will bring you to the level you wish to travel. Only this is by yourself solo, or with a friend, independently, but not on a guided tour.

Step Two: Some solo travel, but mostly group travel or organized by tour guides. Suggested trips include: state-to-state travel for an extended period, completely on your own. 

Be ready for a slightly different experience from the first step, but without any significant fear of the unknown. Visit a nearby state,  just a short flight  or a 200-mile car trip away, where you might stay overnight for at least one or two days. After arriving at your destination, you might visit  local sites on this trip  through public transportation, such as the train, bus, or trolley. If there is a zoo, spend a few hours wandering through it as a nature exploration. Go to a park and walk the perimeter.

Packing Tips. Travel light to save energy and time. Pack half of a small suitcase. The other half can be for things to give away. Consider a small backpack instead of a suitcase if possible. Pay particular attention to the basics: Medications, cosmetics, and one-of-a-kind items.

 

Wear a fanny pack. Today’s fanny packs come in all shapes and sizes. Some even go under your clothes. I keep my cell phone, earbuds, lip gloss, and credit cards in my small fanny pack. My clothes don’t have enough pockets to carry all this, so a fanny pack helps me stay organized and saves time. It may not be the fashion statement you are hoping for, but it can be what you need if you want to stay organized and secure.

Step Two Destinations include the following:

USA National Parks, Midwest, Southern, and California regions, including Disney.

California and even Catalina Island is a step two destination.

Next you will hear about Step 3 travel. Until then, travel well.
