I ran across this post and thought that I would share it. While I’m not a professional traveler by any means, I’ve traveled alone enough to know that all these tips are helpful. I would even go as far as to suggest that you arrive in a new city in the morning and that you take the time to familiarize yourself with a map before you get on any sort of public transportation. Traveling alone can be a great experience but I think it requires some additional preparation.
