Hi friendssss 🩷
I’m turning 30 this year and starting to feel the regret of not travelling much in my twenties (which I never thought I would) perhaps it’s this sense of freedom and expansion in feeling as I get older and grow into myself…
Anyway, I went straight into working right after graduating, and I’ve been on a couple of oversees trips, however very short and not to places I’ve dreamt of going to.
I’m single now and focussing on myself for a while and definitely want to make more time for travelling.
Has anyone else travelled later in life? Any tips for saving or planning trips? Even solo travel- what has your experience been like?
Thank you 😘

I started traveling solo in my late 20s. I tend to prefer a slower style instead of rushing through as many tourist sights as possible in a day, staying 3-4 days per city. It’s kinda difficult to give tips since I have no idea what your travel style is, but I guess one thing is to always try to go for a food walking tour – those usually add some local insider knowledge along with good food. I also enjoyed segway tours in Rome, as I don’t know how to ride a bike.
Oh, one tip if you’re going to Europe is to try and book the popular sights well in advance since the crowds nowadays is crazy! Check out Rick Steves, he has an app that includes some self-guided audio tours that I made good use of.
Feel free to ask me more specific stuff and I’ll try to answer if I can. But mostly I just do a lot of googling for my DIY itineraries.
