Here are a few tips to consider for a superb Spring solocation:
Be intentional about your itinerary
Fill your itinerary with activities that you are interested in, as well as those that you love and enjoy. Be intentional about spending time outdoors so you can enjoy the beauty of nature.
Spring is the perfect time to enjoy and appreciate the weather, as well as everything that is blossoming beautifully.
Take precautionary measures
Your safety should always be a priority. As much as possible, use common sense and avoid reckless behaviour. This will ensure that you are safe at all times. For example, do not overindulge in alcohol and always ensure that your drinks are in your line of sight. Additionally, avoid going anywhere with strangers.
Protect your valuables
Always keep your valuables safe. Avoid walking with your cellphone out (or any gadget) at busy attractions. Moreover, refrain from showing off your expensive jewellery in spaces that are unsafe as this may easily make you a target. Rather, keep your valuables concealed while you are out exploring or simply leave them at home.
Remember to protect yourself from the sun
Although Spring’s warm temperatures are lovely, the sun can also be quite harsh. Do not forget to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses and sun hat. Moreover, ensure that you wear lightweight clothing in order to protect your skin from harmful UV rays while you enjoy outdoor activities.
Have an emergency plan
It is helpful to know where to turn and what to do when an unfortunate event takes place. Research nearby hospitals, police stations and other emergency facilities before you travel. This way, you will know what to do as a solo traveller should you face an emergency situation.
Pack the necessary medication
Be very mindful of Springtime allergies and any other seasonal illnesses. Ensure that you pack allergy medication, nasal spray and any other medication you may need.
