6. If you’re a first-time solo traveler, go somewhere you’re semi-familiar with already. The most important part about your first trip is making sure you’re as comfortable as possible, so use it as a way to dip your toe in the water before venturing off and doing even more the next time. For me, that meant starting with a place where English is commonly spoken. This way, if I ~did~ end up getting lost or if something terrible happened, at least I’d be more at ease knowing I could try to talk my way through the situation.
