Solo Travel with Derron

Please don’t make the mistake that I made on my first trip to Europe. That was trying to fit everything I own into one huge suitcase. We are guys, we can pack light. In this episode, I talk about what you should pack on an international trip. I talk about the dilemma with shoes, the dilemma with wearing bulky stuff on the plane, and why you should hide a $100 bill somewhere. A bonus in this episode is I discuss whether girls like T-shirts or Suits.

This is one of the most important episodes of this podcast. All travelers have their favorite websites for flights, reviews, nightlife, etc. But there's one site that is on everyone’s list. That site is seat61.com. This is by far the best site for help with traveling by train. In this episode, you’ll learn about the site, the advantages of train travel, my own train travels, and the details you’ll find on seat61.com.

You don’t have to know much about international travel to know that before 2020, the U.S. passport could get you into almost any country. Well now, Americans can’t travel anywhere. In this episode, I talk about which countries are open to Americans (not many), some of the world's counties protocols, how safe planes are, and why I’m not traveling at the moment.

Whether you’re about to take your first solo international trip or your 50th trip, you may have some anxiety. Not anxiety per se, but you might wonder if you should go or not. You might wonder if there something else you should be doing or spending your money on? In this episode, you'll hear practical tips on fighting those feelings. I also throw in what I think of mindset stuff, and how it doesn’t work with travel anxiety or meeting girls.

In this episode, you will learn about when is the best time for guys to travel to Europe. Most travelers know that “shoulder season” is the best time of the year to travel. If you want reasonable prices, not too many crowds, and good looking girls, that is the time to travel. But, for guys, there's a specific month that's better than others if you're visiting Europe or Eastern Europe.

"Sir, you must have your mask on in between drinks." In this episode, you are going to hear about what Las Vegas was like when I visited 3 weeks ago. Yes, casino security walked around making people wear masks in between drinks! I also discuss how things were at the Cosmopolitan, Paris, Venetian, the Miracle Mile mall at Planet Hollywood, and more. And, I answer the most frequent question I've received lately,... "should I go to Vegas now?" (in 2020)

In this episode, I talk about the chances of sitting quietly at the end of a bar in Stockholm, Sweden, and getting served. (zero!) The service culture in Europe is different, and it takes some getting used to. On a positive note, you can sit at a restaurant in Zagreb for 3 hours, and nobody will bother you. These things, along with different tipping rules, can be very confusing for an American tourist. This episode clears up everything.

In this week's episode, I discuss “pipelineing” and “Sampling.” For the uninitiated, these are terms for meeting girls overseas. I discuss the best way to use online dating apps. If you're looking for someone to show you around a city you've never been in, then dating apps will help you. I also share my wonderful Ukrainian tour guide’s information if you plan on going to Ukraine after the pandemic.

You’re definitely in Russia, but you’ll feel more like you’re in California or maybe Sweden in this Russian city. In this episode, I discuss the artistic and cultural hub of Russia known as Saint Petersburg. The moniker, “The Venice of the North” is an appropriate title for this Russian city. With incredible sights such as the Hermitage Museum, St. Isacc’s Cathedral, and the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood, you'll have plenty to do in Saint Petersburg. And, I discuss the girls, the nightlife, and people. By the way, my number #1 tip about Saint Petersburg comes early in this episode.

In this episode, I discuss the best ways to get cheap flights. I talk about how you can fly almost anywhere in the world for around $600. However, flying on the cheap isn't easy. You'll have early morning flights, 10-hour layovers, and sometimes you'll even have to change airports. Finally, I talk about the "ITA Matrix," flight search engine, and if you know about it, you'll know what I'm going to say in this podcast.
