@SonjaSwissLife @NordicExp A5. You are away from home. Nobody knows you. You can be anybody you want to be.

A5 Block out the negative/fearful comments from friends and family who have never travelled solo, and get on that plane (boat/bicycle/car) #TTOT https://t.co/UeD9uevNpT

Q5
via @NordicExp
What advice would you give a first-time solo traveler? #TTOT #solotravel

A4 I agree, @MrBobPowers with the outside cafes. Always a great experience even in winter (so many places have heaters now). #TTOT https://t.co/VQFcDWTwsG

A5. Don't be scared. There are lots of people in the same boat. And be prepared to meet lots of people (being alone makes you so much more approachable - to locals too). Take the plunge - and be rewarded with a totally unique life experience. #TTOT

A5: DON'T hang out with others from your home country as you travel! In Florence I met Uni students from America & EVERY ONE was hanging with other Yanks. None had befriended "new" nationalities or cultures! Ugh! #TTOT

A5. If you find yourself confused and/or lost don't be proud, let it show that you are confused and/ or lost - somebody will be happy to help you - like you would be happy to help a stranger in your town/country #ttot

replying to @todayInIreland @todayInIreland A5 I've hung out with a countryman/woman before - they were the only ones who wanted to do what I was doing - cycling in Ireland, walking in France or going to the bus stop and exploring a remote village. Never more than a day though :) #TTOT

@wheresshellyii @NordicExp A5 You are TOTALLY in charge of your trip.
Want a beach day?
DONE!
Want to sit and stare at your absolutely favorite painting for hours?
TOTALLY!
Want to shop till you drop?
Buy a small stool so you can take a break!
The world is yours for the taking #Enjoy #TTOT
