Have you ever had that feeling when you really want to do something but feel like you aren’t brave enough? Or fear that people will judge you?
When it comes to solo travelling, we all have that same feeling, especially for solo travelling as a woman.
That’s why we asked our community to share their fears and how to overcome them!
Sira says one thing that can help a person that have fear of travel, it’s to plan the trip before. For example, see where your hotel/hostel/Airbnb is and then plan everything you want to visit. When I travel alone in the evening, I stay inside my room because I don’t feel safe going around alone in the evening. But nothing can stop me to travel, It’s so important to meet new people all around the world, new cultures, it opens the mind and while travelling, you make beautiful memories that you keep in your heart. I love the concept of the NomadHer app because it’s only for women, so I feel like it’s safer to make new friends
Laura says people who overthink a lot (like me) tend to think about the worst scenario possible like “is there a lot of bad people with bad intentions?” How to overcome it? Probably just to put more trust in humans, a lot of them don’t actually care about what you do, and there’s kindness in the world too. And always look at the surroundings and use your senses and if you feel something is wrong don’t think twice before going somewhere safe or contacting someone.
Leidya says some useful tips on how to overcome feel being alone.
Olivia says I was afraid of being stolen, not having the capacity to do hitchhiking. I asked for tips and advice from people that have already done this type of travel in their life and that helped me to stop imagining the worst scenarios! Having friends that support and help you before the departure helped me a lot!
While I travel alone, I realized that there is almost ALWAYS someone to help you wherever you are! And when nobody’s here, you can always call the emergency, a family member, a friend to solve this bad situation! And if it’s too hard, you can always go back home, it’s not a failure, you’re not weak, you’re just protecting yourself which is the most important!
