Travelling Alone

Summary of topic: a bucket list activity!

One thing I really wanted to try was travelling alone. I had never done it even in the UK and there were so many cities in France I wanted to see. 

I decided to visit a city not that far away from me - Montpellier. 

I researched a hotel in the city centre and I also checked the safety of the city. Everything looked good so I decided to go.

If you're travelling alone definitely check the city's safety by doing research or asking people who have been. I also recommend to book a hotel instead of an Airbnb. 

The Positives

Something I can tick off my bucket list.

Gained a lot of confidence as I had to do everything on my own. 

Took lots of cool selfies!

Visited a beautiful city and got to do everything at my own pace.

The Negatives

Loneliness: not being able to share the moments, and seeing other people who could.

Safety: I did get approached once but it was nothing overly unsafe and I managed to get out of the situation quickly.

It was quite expensive as I had no one to split the hotel with.

To be completely honest, I'm not sure if I would do it again. I really missed having company. It was definitely a cool experience though. Remember it's okay to try something and not like it, at least you went for it and put yourself out there!
