Solo travelling is not such a big problem and it has many advantages which can make your life much better.

Are you afraid of solo travelling and setting off on your journey on your own? I can understand you because I had the same worries before my trip too. Now I know that it is not such a big problem and it has many advantages which can make your life much better.

The main benefit which I can see is that you can meet so many people from all around the world but mainly from all around Europe. My best advice for you guys is to book your hostel through Hostelworld app. Because of the chat there you can make appointments with other travellers . I met so many people when I went for a picnic in Paris which was organized in this group chats. Second way how to meet new people is going on #DiscoverEU meetups in different cities. Luckily, I attended 2 meetups. One in Hamburg and the second one in Bratislava. There you can meet travellers who won interrail tickets as well and they are your age. I really enjoyed meet up in Hamburg because I was there for three days, and we were learning about sustainability in the big cities. We had fun with the guys who were there. For example, we went to the most famous Penny market in Hamburg, we bought some snacks and went to the bank of the Elb river. I made good and strong relationships with people on my journey and I plan to visit them in the future.

After your journey you will become a more independent and self – confident person. Because this trip made me a more extroverted person than I was before and now I know that meeting new people is not so hard. Of course, I got better in my English because I was talking in English for 3 weeks. It has a lot of benefits which I did not mention. I found out that I can make the laundry by myself in Ghent. I know that it looks really hard to go solo travelling in Europe but after your trip you will fall in love with it like I did. For me it was the best thing which I could do as a young person and I think you should use your interrail ticket too.
