It might seem like travelling is just a long list of things to do, but it is so much more than that.

Travel tips and advice definitely help make planning your trip more effortless. Regardless of what advice you choose to take or where your research leads you, the most important part of travelling is to simply enjoy the journey.

Document the things you see and the people you meet. Be sure to put your phone down sometimes and really soak in everything you are seeing, smelling, hearing.

Travelling alone is amazing and you deserve to enjoy it!
