I recently decided to take the plunge and go on my first solo travel abroad. It was an amazing experience, and I’m already planning my next trip! I spent three days in Belgium, which I thought was the perfect amount of time. I visited Ghent and Brussels, and did all the things I wanted to do – from museum visits to castle tours to a fun pub crawl. I also spoke to my girlfriend twice a day, which really helped me through the times when I was feeling a bit lonely. I made some mistakes along the way, but I think that’s all part of the adventure. Most importantly, I’m really proud of myself for making the decision to go on this trip alone. I’ve always wanted to travel, but I never felt like I had anyone to go with. Doing this trip has given me a lot of confidence that I can travel on my own and have a great time. I’m now planning to travel more over the summer, and my goal is to visit all of Europe before I’m 25. I think this is a realistic goal, and I’m looking forward to all the new experiences that I’m going to have!
