Solo Travel For Men<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Travel to Places Where You Look Different Than The Locals<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen I travel, I want to meet people. But I’m an introvert by nature. One trick I’ve found is that people start conversations with me when I’m in a city where I look different from the local guys. People will talk to you too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis is great if you want to talk to girls<\/a>. If you’re a single guy, you will meet many girls because they will want to know where you’re from. You are the new shiny object in their country.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2. Travel During “Shoulder Season”<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe best time to travel is in May or September. Spring and Fall are called shoulder seasons in the travel industry. <\/span><\/p>\nSpecifically, I’m talking about Americans looking to travel to Europe. It would be best to travel in May because it is cheaper, less crowded, and has good weather. May is after the cold winter but before the summer crowds. <\/span><\/p>\nAs for September, this is also cheaper, less crowded, and better weather because it’s just after the summer crowds, and before the cold winter. <\/span><\/p>\nIf you’re not traveling to Europe, just remember, the best time to travel is in those two windows.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
3. Pack light<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe first time I went to Europe I packed a suitcase with almost everything I owned. On the airport scale, the suitcase was 50 lbs exactly. Please don’t make this mistake.<\/span><\/p>\nAs guys, we are lucky. We don’t need a bunch of stuff. Here is all you will need:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- 2 pants, 5 or 6 shirts<\/span><\/li>\n
- 2 pairs of shoes (wear one on the plane)<\/span><\/li>\n
- toiletries.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tip: If you ever need anything more, you can buy anything and everything anywhere in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
4. Buy a good over-the-shoulder bag or Backpack<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are some things you can pick up on the cheap when traveling. For example, spend $3 on a simple two-prong socket adapter when you go to Europe. Don’t spend $40 on a complex all in one adapter. <\/span><\/p>\nBut don’t on luggage. As a solo traveling man, don’t buy roller suitcases. Instead, buy a good over-the-shoulder bag that will fit in the overhead compartment on planes. Or you can get a good travel backpack. Not a hiker backpack, but a Tortuga Backpack<\/a>, or something like it. And buy a good one because there is nothing worse than the shoulder strap or strap hook breaking walking through the airport with your bag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
5. Back up your Passport<\/strong><\/h3>\nYour passport is the most important document you will have when you travel. I always keep my passport in my right front pocket. I remember once sitting on a bench in Budapest, Hungary, feeling for my passport and noticed it was gone. <\/span><\/p>\nMy wallet was on the ground right under me. Thankfully.<\/span><\/p>\nYou never know when something could happen. It is good to email a copy of your passport to yourself, have a photo on your phone, and email or text one or two copies to your family and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
6. Find Cheap Good Flights on Skyscanner and Google Flights<\/strong><\/h3>\nSolo travel for men is much easier. We can take any number of inconvenient flights to get somewhere. So take advantage of this flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\nSkyscanner.com<\/span><\/h4>\nI have been using Skyscanner.com for 10 years or so. Skyscanner is a simple, intuitive flight tracking site. The one feature that I love most about it is the “search everywhere feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Skyscanner.com](\"https:\/\/solomaletravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-19_20-01-43-1024x517.png\")
Skyscanner.com Homepage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
It will bring up all the cities from your destination. The destinations will come up listed in cheapest destinations first. You will always find the cheapest flights to your destination on this site. They piece together your schedule with different airlines and times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYou could do all of this yourself, but it would take you a long time. Skyscanner.com does this for you.<\/span><\/p>\nGoogleFlights.com<\/h4>\n
I’ve recently started using Google flights. The best thing about Google Flights is the price tracking feature. When you can switch on the price tracking feature, Google Flights will email you when the price of the flight your tracking changes. When the price drops to a price you were waiting for, you can just buy it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
7. Use Seat61.com for Train Tickets and Help<\/strong><\/h3>\nTip: One way to travel cheaply is to take trains when you’re in Europe. <\/span><\/p>\nTrain travel is a way of life for Europeans. All Europeans take trains unless they absolutely have to fly. And you should too. <\/span><\/p>\n
