How to travel alone and still have the time of your life

Believe it or not, solo travel is actually all the rage. It may sound uneventful and lackluster, but the truth is, there's nothing more eye opening and adventurous than taking on the world all on your own.

Don't expect anything
We all know it's the journey, not the destination that really matters, right? Put that phrase into practice like never before if you plan on traveling solo.

Take a technology break
Take in all your travels have to offer and you just may discover there's more to the world than retweets and double-tapping.

Engage all 5 senses
That's right, we're talking about actually embracing what's around you. Breathing in the fresh air, feeling the sunshine on your face, tasting new and unfamiliar foods -- all of it will help when it comes to enjoying your experience.

Let your guard down
Talk to locals, ask questions, try something new and be completely vulnerable!

Lastly, just RELAX
Let go of all the traditional character traits that make you easily irritated, scared, anxious, etc. Open your mind and allow yourself the freedom to be happy.
