Dine alone, watch movie in cinema alone, go concert alone, travel alone......been there, done that. Always been alone and independent since time immemorial. Even more so since my divorce. Totally love it. So liberating.

For SG, register your info with MFA. They can contact your family if anything untoward happened to you. Solo travelled to Japan, Phillipines, Cuba, Peru, Chile, Cambodia, Taiwan, Iceland...No matter where, keep your wits about you

30F, been solo travelling since 2014. Even when I’m attached, I’ll just go without waiting for partner to be “ready”. No regrets!

We love the independence!

I can relate to Joie's perspective @ 5:36, sometimes we need to go solo, apart from our spouse or even a same gender trip to have our FUN STRESS & CAREFREE vacation

PLEASE NEVER TELL YOU'RE A SOLO FEMALE TRAVELLER!! solo travelling as a female is completely safe as long as you don't tell people that, especially to men.

Attention to all female travellers!
