If you only had a week in Europe in March, where would you go?

Biggest things for me are cost, culture, arts/museum, good food. I’ve only been to the Balkan region of Europe so would love to explore outside of it.

For people who re-visit a country or city, help me understand what draws you back without feeling like it's a 'waste' of money

No matter how much I love a country or city, I'm not going back because there's still too many other places to explore. What if I like somewhere else even more?

Which countries should be avoided by first time solo female travelers?

I’ve travelled quite a lot over the years and have travelled solo in many different places. Of course, everyone has different experiences, but based on my own, there are a few destinations I wouldn’t recommend for someone’s first solo trip.

So, from my experience I wouldn’t recommend Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco, especially north Morocco. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit them. They can be interesting countries, but travelling there alone as a female, can be a very different experience, and I personally found them way more challenging than many other destinations.

How do you cope with loneliness when travelling long term?

I dont mean loneliness as in not meeting other people, I solo travel for a reason. I think it’s more of an intense homesick feeling kind of loneliness. I have no problem with the social side of solo travelling, but I constantly think of my family/friends/partner and it makes me so sad.

Is it common to get you food stolen is hostels?

It’s gonna be my first time cooking in hostels and I’ll probably have to leave some food in the fridge for the next days. Is it common to get you food stolen is hostels or I should be safe if I cook 2-3 meals in advance?

Is Albania overall safe from a female perspective?

I want to go to Albania, but everyone is telling me to be careful.

I don’t drink, I don’t party and I don’t do drugs, so I already feel like that already adds an extra layer of “being careful”.

Don’t take it, you can just buy it there

I often see people say, “Don’t take it, you can just buy it there.” But if I already own it and know I’ll use it, why buy another one?

My holiday time is just as valuable as my limited funds. I’d rather pack what I need than waste precious vacation time looking for something I already have at home.

What do you think, pack it or buy it there?

Can’t you still rely only on paper maps?

Something that strikes me during my trips is that I seem to be totally lost without my phone or an internet connection. I have to use GPS to find what I’m looking for, can’t use maps, and can’t figure out where to go just by looking at street names or bus stops. How about you?

Tipping rules when visiting USA

Where do you tip? I know you need to tip in restaurants but if i just grab something to go or a coffee to go do I tip as well? Do I tip reception staff at my hotel? And generally do I need to have cash to tip or can I add tip to my bill?

What were you most nervous about for your first solo trip?

I was most nervous about getting lost and having no one to help me. Couldn't have been farther from the truth. When you're a woman traveling solo, people around the world go out of their way to look after you.

Why can’t we accept being touristy when on holiday?

We are at the end of the day, tourists. Stop feeling shame for doing traditional tourist stuff - a lot of it is actually interesting and worth doing. Obviously watch you’re not being over charged for experiences but what’s so wrong with doing?“touristy stuff” on holiday.
