[@usernamemaybe]

YAAAASS girl! I'm gonna leave soon for Tokyo! Everybody thinks I'm crazy but I'm confident and can't wait

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

SO excited for you! If everyone thinks you're crazy, it usually means you're on the right path ;) Happy travels, lovely and keep me posted on your trip!

[@ProjectGoNative]

Seven minutes of full-on information, not a single moment of wastage. You're doing great. Just subscribed :) Looking forward to watch more of your videos. I stumbled upon this video because I wanted to make one on the same topic for traveling in Romania. it helped. So, thanks! :)

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thanks so much! So happy to help :)

[@NourLivia]

Incredible video Linsday! Solo travel is also my favorite way to travel, you get to experience things in a very different way and you're never actually alone!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

YES! Exactly. I feel the same, solo travel is so special. :) Thanks for watching and happy travels!

[@iiAngelic]

This girl is so cool.Solo travel unheard of in my town. People usually like to bring friends or be in groups, but what you do is brave, badass, and astounding.

[@Ard-mhacha-abu]

Best solo travel advice vid out there! Thanks for the great upload, Lindsay 😊

[@jordangosden4081]

Gal, you are absolutely correct! Did four months solo and all these points are perfect!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thank you so much, Jordan and happy travels! :)

[@TGTOnTheMove]

So often videos like this are generic or promote fear. Thank you for not doing that. I'm a long time solo female traveler myself and these tips are really legit. Very nicely done. I will mention a flip side to your 'dress to blend in' tip. I travel a lot in places where there's no chance of me 'blending in' (Southeast Asia and Africa). That's when standing out and being a little extra friendly can help. A lot of people in an area that know you're there don't want anything bad to happen to you because they don't want a stain on their reputation (and they're just good people). Sometimes, sticking out has people looking out for you, especially if you've been nice to them. Just something to consider when blending in isn't an option.

[@kelseylorraine1316]

I am SO beyond happy and grateful you created this video now. I'm planning my first solo backpacking trip in Thailand and I'm thankful to have tips from my favourite KZbinr ❤🙏🏼

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Aw, thank you! I am so happy to help :) Thailand is such a great choice, you are going to have a blast! If you think of any questions, please let me know! I'm sure other new backpackers will have the similar questions to whatever you run across and I'd love to help. Happy travels!

[@kaylam12346]

Once again, most helpful travel advice I've found on KZbin. Thanks for giving tips from you're specific experiences it's really helpful and encouraging!

Aw thanks Kayla! So happy I could help and happy travels!

[@Lauren_aida]

I just found your channel from the Budgeteers and I am loving your videos so much! I've done a lot of solo travel throughout Latin America where I'm comfortable/can communicate easily/etc. but I am planning to travel around Indonesia by myself for a few months next year and I'd been getting nervous about it since it will be so different from what I am used to - but now watching your channel I feel empowered af and I love it!!!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thanks so much, Lauren - love those guys! You will have the best time in Indonesia and a little bit of nervousness and butterflies means you're on the right path ;) Thanks for the kind words and happy travels!

[@YourGirlSudanny]

Such GREAT tips!! The smile one was the one that stood out to me the most. When I'm lost - you'll know I'm lost & haven't got a clue what I'm doing or where I'm going, even to the point where people have approached me and asked if I needed help haha. So the smiling tip, is so good because it won't draw attention to me, unless I want to ask someone for help ^_^

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

YourGirlSudanny HA! Yes. Smiling definitely helps disguise confusion and panic lol. So happy this video was helpful and happy, smiley travels ;)

[@theminimalistninja]

I am always looking forward to your videos and have been waiting to sit down and watch this for days! I totally agree with what you said about arriving somewhere at night. I arrived in Morocco at night and was planning to couchsurf. From my host I knew how much I should be paying max. for a cab and that's what I ended up paying. The driver wanted way more than that, I refused to pay and went to the next drivers and all of a sudden that very first guy said yes. Knowing, ideally from locals, how much something should cost is a MUST. While I was previously afraid to bargain, I am no longer! :D

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

YES! Bargaining is so important. I learned the hard (or I guess "expensive" way ;) ) on that, lol.

[@jeannea4699]

[@vendeta412]

Hey Lindsay! I have watched all of your videos and I would love to travel like you have. Just wondering how much money you saved prior to leaving and how you managed you expenses while traveling. Love the videos! Keep 'em coming!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Hi Nic, thanks so much! I saved up $12K and I didn't have to manage my expenses because I just stayed in hostels, took public transit and, most importantly, traveled around cheap places like South East Asia and India. I didn't eat a fancy restaurants or drink a lot (booze will kill your budget) but I did do things like SCUBA diving and other more expensive adventure activities. If you travel cheap places, your money will go longer for sure.

[@travelstorieswithmoush]

Packing plays a major role in travelling. Pack your clothes and other stuff properly in bag; so you can carry all your stuff in just a one bag. Research as much as you can about the place you are traveling to. Plan your budget. Take book, phone and book your hotels in advance!

[@Scarl37]

Just discovered your channel. You are one cool girl!

[@thinnthuzarhtet4823]

Hi Lindsay, thanks a lot for your video. I'm start planning to go my very first solo trip to Cambodia (Siem Reap) and Vietnam. Do you have any advice for me ?

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thanks so much! Have you checked out my South East Asia playlist? Give that a watch and let me know if you have any questions :) Thanks and happy travels!

[@reelax100]

Thanks!

[@MsGeorgeEmad]

Lindsay, please make a video for how to confront the fear of talking to the camera ? as a new vloger, thanks i love you :* :D

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thanks so much, George! Picture the lens as your best friend. I lots of time imagine my best friend from DC who hasn't traveled much but loves to and my younger brother Tommy who likes to travel as well. I think about them when I'm talking and I'm so into being able to give the best advice that I forget about feeling insecure or weird on camera. Also try to remember that it's not about you, it's about the information your trying to rely or the story you're trying to tell. That helps me as well :) Thanks so much and happy travels (and vlogging!)

[@MsGeorgeEmad]

ohh, thank you so much for your reply, i appreciate it, but i am just afraid of, people, criticize how i speak or how i look, especially the people i know in my circle, if i speaked in a not perfect English or something, we even criticize ourselves at first when we see ourselves in a video :"D

[@mrhiker]

Love from India 😍😍😍

[@Fuzzy07]

Lindsay one question , that have you ever traveled with your friends like i want to travel with 2 of my friends hopefully in future so do you have any tips on like traveling with friends...btw awesome video 👍

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

I have! Traveling with friends is great too :) My advice for traveling with friends (or partner, gf, bf, anyone!) would be to not have to be together ALL the time. Be okay going off on your own in a city every once in a while and don't depend on them to go with you everywhere you want to go. Talk about that beforehand so no one feels pressured to do things or go places they are not as interested in and be open and honest with each other while on the road. Traveling with friends is SO much fun! Although my preference is to travel solo, I do like traveling with friends every once in a while to share experiences with people I care about :) Happy travels!

[@sexyback34]

I LOVE NAPPARK!! great hostel!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

SO fun! My little home away from home

[@Edgesofearth]

- We think a lot alike :) Good tips!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Great minds think alike, right ;)

[@izzywanders4482]

This is such a useful and informative video! Thank you for sharing it with the travel community! More people need the encouragement to travel solo, it's such an amazing experience. It really is one of the best ways to see the world! I've just uploaded a 'Pros and Cons of Solo Travel' video on my channel if you felt like taking a look. Good luck on your next adventure! Keep up the awesome content!

[@yamstation]

Some nice tips I also found it VERY useful to take screenshots of your maps and of underground maps ; for when there is no internet. Also don't put all your eggs in one basket. Leave your passport in a safe place, and leave a bank card and some cash in a safe place.

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thanks Yamstation! Screenshots are super helpful. Hm, being able to find two safe places to stash your passport one place and your bank card and cash somewhere else while you're traveling is a big ask. I typically find hostels and even hotels come with one locker or safe to stash your stuff so I would leave it all there when you're out and about in a city and then in transport (bus, train, plane, etc) keeping it all on you in a safe place. That's how I do it at least but everyone has their own ways I think :) Thanks for watching!

[@Itsoss98]

Im traveling alone for the first time outside my country. Im honestly scared and excited. Im only19 man :') but i will travel to my childhood dream which is "uk" and thank u for the vid it helped !!

[@Jaybird0323]

PancakeX G4mER in the same boat. I'm going in September for 2 weeks, I'll be with a group but going by myself 😓 I'll be 19 then and I've never traveled anywhere by myself let alone leaving the country to travel all over Europe.

[@samgatorade9407]

I love your videos! Your my travel inspiration. I'm actually heading out to Southeast Asia as my first time backpacking adventure solo😱 I'm going for two month in Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia!! Do you have any travel advice for me or any amazing things i must see well I'm there? Or just any best hostels? Anything would be amazing 😊

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Sam Gatorade yay! So happy for you Sam and thanks for watching! Have you checked out my South East Asia playlist yet? I have TONS of tips there on Thailand and Cambodia. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions, happy travels!

[@samgatorade9407]

+Lindsay Mc hey yes I've watched all your videos like twice over lol!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Sam Gatorade ha! Okay, awesome and thank you 😊 in Thailand, I would recommend staying at NapPark for your first night or two (I talked about them in this video) and then if you want to stay in Bangkok longer, you can look around for a cheaper spot. Def go to ChiangMai, stay at Julie's Guesthouse. It's like $2 a night and their breakfast is bomb but they will kick you out after a few nights if you don't buy one of their overpriced tours. If you want to do Elephant Nature Park, book that in advance and be sure you just do theirs bc a lot of companies say they are nice to the elephants but they are not (www.saveelephant.org.) I would recommend buying a counterfeit Lonely Planet guide when you're in Bangkok (they're like $2) and just everywhere you go, look up "the backpacker area" in the book and price compare guest houses when you get there. You don't need to book in advance and you'll pay more usually to do so. If you want to be SCUBA certified, do that on Koh Tao. Either through Roctopus or Big Blue. If you book with them for your Scuba Cert they will put you up for the duration of your classes. Stay at Firefly Guesthouse in Siem Reap. Do NOT miss out on Angkor, it's amazing. You've seen my videos so you know I recommend the three days but make sure you get a good bike. You probably need to do an online search and/or ask people when you get there where you can rent a good bike. Apparently Otres Beach has been bulldozed and they built a resort which sucks. You can go to Snhoukville (I am totally spelling that wrong but it's close enough lol) and stay at Monkey Bar or Monkey Bungalow... it's something with a money in its name. It's one of the most popular hostels/ guesthouses, it's super fun. Ahhh, South East Asia is the best! I hope this helps and that you have so much fun!!!

[@samgatorade9407]

Lindsay Mc wow!!! Awesome thanks so much. That was amazing and I'll definitely check those hostels out!! Thank you soooo much. Can't wait to watch more of your videos❤️

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Of course! :) Happy to help!

[@harryatay4218]

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Thank you Harry!

[@imlindarim]

Hey, Lindsay! How do you feel about bringing equipment like a camera and laptop while solo traveling? I am one who loves to work on creative projects and am thinking about bringing some gear with me. I'm solo traveling for the first time in a couple of weeks to South East Asia and tried to strategically book hostels with lockers and have other security measures for my things when I leave it behind in my accommodations. Do you have any additional tips? I am curious to hear about your experience. Hope to hear from you soon!

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Hey Linda, I traveled all over South East Asia with my gear. I locked it up when I could but I also left it out as well. I know that sounds crazy and I would imagine other people wouldn't feel comfortable doing it but there were quite a few times I would just leave my laptop under my pillow or stashed in my bag on my bed in the dorm for the day while I was out. There were a few places that I didn't feel comfortable doing that but for the most part, I felt like it was safe even being out if the hostel didn't have a locker (I of course locked it up for the most part though.) Most hostels will have at least a small locker available for each bed. Just make sure you have a lock for it because they normally don't supply a lock. My GoPro was mounted on a pole that didn't find in lockers (it was like 2 and a half feet tall) so I usually would sleep with it on my bed or take the camera out of the mount and lock it up in the locker when I was out. I never had anything stolen from me in South East Asia and the only thing happened is one night, someone must have come back to the hostel kind of drunk because they stepped on my GoPole (and it had the camera in the mount) and cracked the mount. They didn't steal anything and I'm sure it was an accident but that's the only piece of tech that I had that got messed up while traveling. I recommend watching my packing video, basically the only thing I ever locked up was the little "kangaroo pouch" that I carried. Everything else would just be unlocked under my bed. I felt that South East Asia was more laid back when it came to having to watch my stuff than in Europe or India. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@imlindarim]

Thanks so much, Lindsay! I definitely appreciate your advice! :D

[@akien3444]

You're right: always have a back up plan (tip number nine)

[@mansoureh]

I always have back up plans but still sometimes it gets out of my control

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

All part of the adventure ;)

[@GROMINBLX]

hmm... spontaneous planning sounds a lot more expensive as you can't predict what rooms will still be available? is it though?

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Depends on the situation you're in. If you have some time and are flexible, spontaneous travel can save you money because you take advantage of last minute deals and take your time to compare and contrast prices on the ground of the places you're in. If you're on a super tight time frame or need to stay in certain places than booking in advance might be helpful as you won't have time to compare prices once you get there and/or can't take advantage of cheap last minute deals. I have a video on how to save money while traveling that has some tips on this as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqloKl5jtyGbJY Hope this helps and happy travels!

[@GROMINBLX]

[@marieno8806]

hey there I have a question :) you already mentioned in your video that you try to hide your camera in your jacket or in your bag so you don't stand out. I am going to travel solo soon with a great big photo camera, meaning I of course want to take some photos. Do you have any tips on how to conceal the luxury item when I do take photos? I can't really hide it under my jacket, if you know what I mean 😝 & might I just add: your video was very helpful! You informed me a lot on small normal details that a lot of people forget to mention. So thank you very much :)

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Hi Ma Rie! Thanks so much, so happy to help! For your camera, it kind of depends on where you're traveling. I only hide my camera when I'm in transit (like on buses or walking around town.) I uncover it when I'm actually taking photos. I just try to keep it hidden when I'm not using it but I have it out and in view very often when I'm taking photos or video. Hope this helps and happy travels!

[@bretonneaYKNT]

[@ichvanulyp3865]

I don't know why but I'm inspired from your video. Lately I always thought that I had to see the world, I wanted to have many friends all over the world. Can I start to solo traveling at the age of 21? Can you give me advice, where should I go for the first time? By the way I'm from Indonesia :)

[@roben2791]

hey, I'm going to study for a month in Germany, can I do it with just one carry on? also, I'm really scared of traveling solo, I'm I'd be lonely and it would be weird visiting the city alone.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Hey, no problem for the carry on, of course you can do it! There are many videos on KZbin that show you how to pack, I also made one - packing only a backpack for one month in Hungary-Norway-Germany. Travelling solo is scaring before you actually do it and especially the first time. You will realise very soon that there's nothing to be scared about. And if you don't want company to visit the city, that's no problem at all! Use the Cuchsurfing app to find other people like you that are in the same city and same situation and meet up for a tour of the place, or you can even contact a local through Couchsurfing who can show you his best spots!

[@Vasu-b9j]

hey ! I have a question in my mind that might sound stupid to you but still i am gonna ask . when you travel solo who takes your pictures ? who is there to accompany you ?

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Hey Vasu, not a stupid question at all! For my series ($30 a Day) I took all of that video myself, I just had a GoPro on a GoPole (a mount that holds the camera away from you.) I usually ask people to take a photo for me if I want a still picture and I'm traveling solo. Sometimes I set up my camera on a tripod but usually I just ask people to take a quick pic for me. It's the easiest and usually they want a photo if they're traveling solo or even traveling together as a couple and they both want to be in the photo together so we can help each other out :)

[@Alore_08]

Have you been to Columbia? I'm going on my first solo trip to Cartagena, Columbia and I'm staring to get a bit nervous!

[@SunlightSummer]

Sorry if this is a weird question, but I've recently had to be on medications for severe ADHD. Will this cause any issue while traveling? The medication is something that is illegal to possess if they aren't prescribed to you. Has anyone here had any issues with this?

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

SunlightSummer SunlightSummer hi Sunlight! Not a weird question at all. Travel with the pills in the original prescription bottle that has the medication name as well as your name on it. That way if you are questioned, you can show your ID and the bottle and it will prove it's yours and it was prescribed to you. This will help for domestic travel but please be sure your medication doesn't have anything illegal in it if you travel to other countries (an example of this is medicinal marijuana is legal some places in the states but that doesn't mean you can bring it to Thailand where marijuana is illegal. Country legalities differ so please be sure you check that in advance.) Hope this helps, thanks for watching and happy travels!

[@SunlightSummer]

Thanks! It isn't marijuana, but where do I look up if it's illegal in other countries?

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Here's a helpful article with links of where you can find if your medication is illegal in other countries www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=17386 :)

Well, that was quick! (and helpful) Your vlogs are super amazing and inspiring. Have gone through most of them. I'll be going on my first ever solo trip to Europe this July. What is the ideal time to send requests to people on couchsurfing?

but sorry, i mean like if u gon travel shouldnt u book ur hostels in advance????? i mean then its cheaper right? pls answer :D

[@lindsaymccormick9607]

Hi! It's up to you - I would rather not book in advance. I will just go to the backpacker area and walk around to price compare hostels and I find it to be cheaper that way. If you're new to traveling, book your first few hostels in advance until you're more comfortable then you'll be able to feel okay going with the flow.

Let the US embassy know your location in case something pops off.
