Taking a solo trip can be a freeing experience. Since there's no one to check in with, you can essentially go where you want, do what you want, eat what you want, etc. Some parts can be stressful, some can be relaxing, but overall it can be a fulfilling and meditative excursion. But, as important as it is to unwind on a vacay, it's equally important to travel safely (especially if you're a woman). That's why we searched all over for the solo travel essentials you need to add to your packing list, no matter your destination. Whether you're headed to a tropical spot to relax by the beach or backpacking through a new country, there's a few must-have items and gadgets that every solo traveler should pack.
From the cozy to the practical, from spring break to an extended holiday, you want to be prepared. Things like personal safety alarms, portable door locks, and filtered water bottles can make sure you're healthy and safe in any location. Chic matching lounge sets and a hydrating facial mist can ensure that you're stylish and refreshed. And, to keep you occupied, you may want a Nintendo Switch or a travel journal on hand.
This packing guide has all the items and accessories you can't forget to purchase before hitting the road or jet-setting. Bon voyage!
