### A few notes

I like planning around an experience, not a place. Pick the thing you want to do first, then let the destination choose itself. Hike the trail. Learn the language. Eat the food. The country is almost a bonus.

Nobody asks, "What deep emotional wound are you hoping to heal by going camping?" They just accept that you like camping. Sometimes I think solo travel deserves the same treatment.

The slower you move, the more opportunities travel has to surprise you. Some experiences simply can't be scheduled into an itinerary.

### Solo travel tip

Solo travel doesn't require a completely new set of skills. If you can solve problems, ask for help, make decisions, and navigate everyday life at home, you're already more prepared than you probably think. You'll spend far less time surviving the wilderness than deciding where to have lunch.
