I was chatting with my parents last night, and they said that since we’re stuck in Switzerland and I seem quite bored, and since I’m a legal adult now, why don’t I go on a trip abroad alone? I’m considering it, but I’ve never traveled solo before, so I don’t know.

    It depends on your mindset. It could be an extended vacation. It could be poorly planned and a good learning experience. People recommend it a lot because you kinda figure things out as you go. Be aware of your role as a solo foreigner and your race plus language barrier determines your experience with locals.

    Experience was I was winging my trip and got burnt out trying to plan destinations last minute. Cost me more money then I’d like and way more stress. It amplified all my procrastinating behaviors but overseas in Europe.
