![]() Guest Post: Irene Downey Have you ever been in a situation where there is a destination you want to travel to, but you don’t have someone to go with you? Like your friends are too busy at work or can’t leave their kids to go with you. Does the idea of traveling alone seem terrifying to you? If so, you are not alone. A lot of people are scared to travel by themselves for various reasons. Some people simply fear for their safety, and being alone in an unknown country seems scary. For others, this fear has to do with anxiety and feeling they simply won’t be able to manage on their own on the trip. Whatever your fear is, it's time to conquer it and experience the joys of solo traveling. And we will give you some helpful tips for that in this article. Accept Your Fear The first thing you need to do is stop thinking of your fear as something fatal. While it may seem like your fear is overwhelming and you will never travel by yourself, you have to try and be calm. Don’t let your fear overpower you and cloud your judgment. Instead, accept it as something normal. Because it is completely normal, and many people experience it. Especially women. For them, traveling alone is even scarier. But don’t let this get you down. Try to look at it as a challenge you need to conquer and believe you will succeed. Once you allow yourself to think that you can do something, your chances of succeeding are higher. Just Think of Everything You Are Missing Out On If you need a little push to inspire you to conquer your fear and experience the joys of solo traveling, then just start thinking of all the things you are missing out on. There is so much beauty in the world that you should see and experience, like the Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall in China, The Eiffel tower, the Colosseum, etc. You can also visit some awesome places in America, like Grand Canyon, New Orleans, scenic places in Northern Virginia, and so much more. The world is so big and exciting, and it would be a shame to miss out on exploring everything it offers due to fear. Let your wanderlust be more potent than your fear. Research, Research, Research! Often our fears and anxieties are connected with uncertainty. Going into something unknown, where you don’t know what to expect, can be terrifying, like traveling alone to a new place. But luckily, today, that can be easily solved. You can thoroughly research the destination for your trip before going there. And not just the destination, you can find tips and information on the whole experience, including getting the tickets, getting on the plane, figuring out accommodation, etc. Many travel bloggers today film their whole trips to a particular place. And chances are there will be a video about the destination you want to go to. These videos are an excellent tool for calming your fears and removing the factor of uncertainty that scares you. Remove Any Extra Stresses and Concerns A positive mindset is fundamental when you are about to do something you are afraid of. You don’t want to go on that solo trip being worried about other things, as it will only add to your fear and anxiety. So, before you leave, make arrangements to ensure everything at home is okay while you are away. If you have pets, make arrangements on time, so you know they are taken care of. Ask friends to pet sir or find a good dog care center. If there are relatives you care for or are worried about, arrange everything before you leave. Make some precooked meals, pick up their medicine prescription, and ask friends to be there if they need something. Also, don’t forget to protect your valuables at home. If you have some expensive and delicate things, you want to ensure they are safe while you are away. Rent a storage unit for those items, but ensure it’s safe with alarms and cameras. Experience The Joys of Solo Traveling by Taking Small Steps The key to overcoming your fear is small steps. If you fear solo traveling, you should go on a big overseas solo trip. That can only traumatize you and make you even more scared. The better approach is to start small and gently. Make your first solo trip somewhere nearby and not longer than two days. A weekend trip is a good idea here. This way, you will know that home is close by, and you can return quickly. You will see that once you succeed at this, it will give you the confidence to attempt something more challenging. Little by little, you will feel more at ease when traveling alone, and you will overcome your fear. You Don’t Have to be Completely Alone While you are on a solo trip, that doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. Thanks to technology, you can stay connected to your family and friends wherever you are. You can Facetime, Skype, or text whenever you feel scared or overwhelmed during your trip. In those moments, talking with a family member can calm you down and put you at ease. Having a support system like this helps. In Conclusion You shouldn’t let fear stop you from doing things you want. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. Everyone should experience the joys of solo traveling at least once in their lifetime. It’s about being prepared and accepting your fear as completely normal and natural. Research your destination before you go there and make arrangements for things at home. That way, you will be less stressed while on the trip. And know that you can always talk and facetime with your friends and family whenever you feel scared.

Most people's first instinct is to think of Europe or Australia. However, there are many reasons to visit South America instead. If you're looking for a big city alive throughout the night, look no further than Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. Anyone fan of history and Indiana Jones will love Machu Picchu, Patagonia, and exploring the Andes. The list of reasons why you're next vacation should be in South America is endless. We hope this list of the six most important ones will inspire you to explore South America further. If there is anything we can guarantee about South America, it'll offer you unforgettable memories. 1 The Delicious Cuisine South America has some of the most amazing cuisines in the world. All of the food here is delicious. In most cases, the best way to experience authentic South American cuisine is to try street food. You'll find everything from sweets to savory food on the streets of South American cities. Local vendors will set up shop on a street corner every morning and start preparing their delicious foods. Top four foods to look out for
2 Amazing Destinations on a Budget South America is perfect for you if you're looking for a travel destination that will allow you to stick to a tight budget. One of the most popular reasons to visit South America is the fact that it's incredibly affordable. How much you'll save depends on where you'll stay. You'll get the best savings if you stay outside the larger cities. However, this shouldn't dishearten you since transportation is also very cheap there. When it comes to your day-to-day food, transportation and accommodation should be of no concern. For example, it's possible to buy a week's worth of lunches for as little as 15 bucks! Most people stay in South America for a long time because it's so affordable. However, if you plan on doing that as well, it's crucial to account for expenses back home. For example, if you're from Manhattan, you might want to hire a house sitter to keep your home safe. Or you may want to go to a storage facility and rent out a safe unit for your items. That way, you won't have to worry about your valuables, and you'll be able to fully enjoy your stress-free vacation. 3 The People Are Very Welcoming The people of South America are sure to make you feel at home when you travel there. Because of the kind culture of the people who live there, the sense of community in South America is incredibly strong. Most of the younger generations speak English, so it's easy to make friends and socialize with them. And if you learn some Spanish, you can expect high praise from locals. People you pass by on the street always flash a smile in your direction. Even if you are traveling alone, friendly people will make it, so you never feel lonely. 4 The Unique Landscapes Another one of the biggest reasons to visit South America is the picturesque and unique landscapes. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind when discussing the natural beauty of South America is the stunning mountains and forests. However, there is so much more than that. Out of the countless hidden gems of nature, we recommend checking out the waterfalls of Iguazu and Salar de Uyuni. The waterfalls of IguazuYou can find the waterfalls of Iguazu on the border of Argentina and Brazil. They are the most extensive waterfall system in the world and one of the most stunning views you'll ever see. The only downside is that it's fairly popular with tourists. This means that it can get pretty crowded at times, and it might be a bit harder to get the perfect photo right away. Salar de UyuniSalar de Uyuni is in the south of Bolivia. They are the largest salt flats in the world. In other words, it's a desert made of salt. People usually get to Salar de Uyuni by driving from a nearby city or town. If you're lucky enough, you arrive there after a rainy day. The rain turns the flat into a large mirror that reflects the sky. 5 The Andes The Andes are a massive reason to vacation in South America. This mountain range spreads across the western side of the continent. It separates the coast from the mainland. If you love nature walks and hiking, you'll love the Andes. If you go on an organized hiking trip, you'll see some of the most amazing views you've ever seen while traversing the terrain under huge blue skies. On the other hand, the Andes have a lot to offer to history buffs. They are the home of Machu Picchu. Exploring this historical place will offer you adventure and education. Machu Picchu is also a fantastic vacation destination for seniors. 6 You Can Enjoy the Fabulous Local Festivals If you manage to time your trip correctly, you may be able to experience the biggest festival in the world – Carnaval. For most people, Carnaval is the biggest of the reasons to visit South America. Celebrations take place all over the continent in the spring. You will be able to enjoy parades, dancing, parties, music, and great food. While the most prominent celebration takes place in Rio de Janeiro, it's also a fantastic experience to see local celebrations in smaller cities and towns. To Wrap Up This is just the start of the journey of discovering the wonders of South America. It has so much more to offer. For example, another one of the reasons to visit South America is that it's amazing for traveling with kids. They'll have unique experiences that they'll remember for a lifetime. This gorgeous continent simply has to be experienced firsthand. Author’s Bio: Max Channing is a consultant and freelance writer for Manhattan Movers NYC.

The Golden Triangle Tour, which includes stops in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, is a great way for first-time visitors to uncover India’s wonderful culture, delectable food, art and culture. As the primary attractions of this package, Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, it is the most popular tourist route in India. For this 10-day, nine-night tour of Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and the Taj Mahal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Allen Batista Travel, Inc. will work with Enticing India to give visitors an insider’s view of the destination. Here are highlights of the Golden Triangle Delhi Agra Jaipur Tour: 1. Sunrise At Taj Mahal Visiting the Taj Mahal should be at the top of your bucket list if you're traveling to India and want to see it. Sunrise views of the Taj Mahal are breathtaking. The Taj Mahal is without a doubt one of the seven New Wonders of the World and is among the most exquisite and extravagant constructions ever built. At sunrise, there is undoubtedly a unique feeling at the Taj. The Taj Mahal has an intriguing feature - the color changes throughout the day. It has a bronzy-orange tint in the evening, turns sparkling white in the afternoon, and appears pale pink at sunrise. Late at night, the Taj appears pale blue. Going to the Taj Mahal before sunrise is highly advised, especially around dawn when the crowds aren't too dense and the skies are likely to be clear. 2. Delhi Old City Tour Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who founded New Delhi in 1639, originally called it Shahjahanabad. Old Delhi is a walled area of New Delhi. Up until the end of the Mughal dynasty, it remained their capital. The British later renamed it Old Delhi. It provides breathtaking examples of architecture, a delectable selection of cuisine, and a living, breathing piece of history. In this city, eating is a big part of the culture. Old Delhi's winding lanes provide a dizzying array of culinary options. Here, the taste senses are literally set free by the exquisite aroma of food. Food that has been praised by national and international food guides will always tempt you. Although meat is typically the main ingredient, the food also has mouth-watering hot parathas, chats, and sweets. A number of stores in Chandni Chowk's renowned Paranthe Wali Gali sell parathas, a fried Indian bread loaded with contents and served with pickles, curries, mint chutney, and tamarind chutney. 3. Agra's Barbecue Cuisine The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, has earned Agra its well-deserved fame. But going on a culinary tour to sample the city's barbecue cuisine is really the only way to truly see Agra. Agra's culinary walk is the ideal way to spend the day there, either before or after visiting the Taj Mahal. This trip includes more than just a straightforward meal tasting. It brings you to some of the best and oldest restaurants in the historic city of Agra, where you can sample the cuisine, learn about its history, take a stroll through the bustling streets, and experience an entirely real kind of city discovery on foot. 4. Pushkar Camel Ride What better way to experience the desert than on the back of a creature that has long been connected to these vast swaths of sand? A camel safari is the ideal method to explore desert places, particularly those as rich in history and culture as Rajasthan. The Pushkar Camel Safari ride is set against a stunning backdrop of a clear blue sky, lovely sand dunes, and cactus plants. Sitting on the back of a camel, take in a magnificent ride and some of the desert's most beautiful sights. Along with feeding the camels, you can become friends with them and enjoy this unusual journey. A trip on the powerful back is more enjoyable if you get a chance to see a mirage, which is a common sight in deserts. 5. The Nahargarh Sunset Nahargarh Fort is the place in Jaipur that you simply must see at dusk. The fort offers breathtaking views of the city that point directly west, where the sun sets. The best views are probably from the walls that line the sunset point. You can choose to watch the sun set directly in front of you from the terrace, perched high above the walls, or you can walk up to the walls themselves. In the evening, you can hear the city's activity in the distance, including music, automobile horns, and other sounds typical of Indian cities. The sky turns orange and it seems absolutely magnificent as the sun descends and emerges from the desert cloud. 6. Jaipur Shopping Excursion The Pink City of Jaipur is well-known for its vibrant markets and traditional handicrafts in addition to its stunning architecture and UNESCO-listed landmarks. Additionally, it is a well-liked shopping area. In other words, you can purchase anything you want for a great price. A truly remarkable combination, isn't it? People in this area definitely have a "shop 'til you drop" mentality. As soon as we hear about Jaipur, we think of its diamonds, traditional Rajasthani attire, top shopping lanes, their hours, and specialties, and lastly, the largest malls the city has to offer. 7. A Traditional Rajasthani Dinner In Jaipur Featuring Folk Dance And Music Jaipur, a city with a lengthy history, is home to many forts and palaces that are worth visiting. However, the city is also renowned for its delectable gastronomy. Dining in Jaipur is a vibrant and delectable experience that combines culinary traditions from the royal kitchens to the street stalls of regular families and fuses local culinary traditions with those of neighboring areas. While visiting the state's capital, make sure to sample some of Rajasthan's delectable cuisine, which combines aromatic spices, unusual flavors, and locally grown products such as pulses, grains, herbs, etc. Genuine Rajasthani cuisine, from the mouth-watering laal maas to the delectable daal bhaati choorma, is best eaten in Rajasthan. What better place to indulge your taste senses than the state's capital. 8. Boat Ride In Udaipur Udaipur, often known as the City of Lakes, derives much of its appeal from the abundance of lakes there. Pichola Lake is one of the most well-known lakes in this area and is frequently visited by visitors. Hills, castles, temples, bathing ghats, and embankments line the perimeter of the lake. There are four islands in the lake, and they have been constructed with lovely castles that are the perfect places to enjoy breathtaking lake views. The most popular attraction in Udaipur is the enormous and opulent City Palace, so you should put visiting it high on your list of things to do there. Starting in 1553, the City Palace took more than 400 years to complete! The complex, which is open to Udaipur visitors these days, is thought to be the biggest in Rajasthan. The late-afternoon picturesque boat ride is perhaps the most popular option because it may provide a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take in the beauty and see the spectacular sunset right on the lovely Pichola Lake. 9. Enjoy Sunset In Sajjangarh Fort Sajjangarh is the ideal sunset location in Udaipur if you want to experience the nicest sunset evening.
