Description
About the book. The Solo Travel Handbook provides an introduction to planning and executing a solo journey. Lonely Planet gathers experiences and questions relevant to both short city breaks and longer independent trips. This paperback English book from 2018 contains 168 pages.
Content. Content includes destination selection, itineraries, budgeting, finances, luggage, and packing. Specific sections explore how to meet other travelers and get to know people along the way. The book also features destination ideas related to food, nightlife, culture, islands, and road trips. Pre-departure planning and daily life on the road are thus presented in the same context.
Who is this book suitable for? Suitable for readers considering a solo trip or those wishing to reflect on the choices they want to make independently. The book can be used to organize expectations and create an initial draft of an itinerary. Advice and examples pertain to the 2018 edition. The broad approach provides a starting point for further planning, whether the goal is a weekend alone or a longer multi-stage journey.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in the context of the rest of your trip. A plan with fewer stops can allow more time to become acquainted with each location. Browse with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to achieve and what you want time to experience. Allow space for breaks and detours. A physical book is excellent to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey. Revisit an idea you have noted and let the plan evolve as you become familiar with the destination.
