Cici Coleman Instagram – 1. Go boujee for the first couple of nights. Battling jet lag and the occasional doubt about your decision requires maximum comfort. Even if you’re staying with friends, i’d still do the bouj; it allows you to ease into your surroundings, adjust to the time zone, and settle in without the social pressures or politeness efforts. 2. Swiftly reintegrate into your everyday routine; Engaging in familiar activities from home helps create a sense of stability. I personally get straight in the gym. Not only does it combat jet lag, but also the endorphins from a good workout help alleviate the self doubt (trust me, you’ll get this at the start) and it’s an excellent way to forge connections with other solo travellers. 3. Bring comforting reminders of home, such as your favourite moisturiser, perfume, or pillow spray. While it may seem trivial, these personal items provide a sense of familiarity and ease during your solo journey.
