Traveling solo for the first time

I grew up in a place where traveling ain’t much of a thing. Growing up all I’ve wanted was to do good at school, get a degree, provide for my family and have a fruitful life. Every cliché thing a normal person would want in their lifetime.

Then shit happens, and I’ve decided to work in Dubai. Nothing comes easy, everything was a challenge and by the grace of God I’ve landed a stable job. Living in Dubai opened my eyes into a lot of things including traveling.

I never intended to do solo traveling! I can’t even eat in a restaurant alone, much more go to a complete foreign country ALONE! 😱

Yet miracle happened and the travel bug just bit me. I booked my first ever solo travel on August 2018 to Georgia, with no itinerary, no tours, nothing.

I walked the streets of Tbilisi. Ate authentic Georgian foods in Rustaveli. Met fellow solo traveler and had the best trip ever.

See when you overthink things and let your feelings get in the way of what you really wanted, you’ll always end up regretting not taking the leap of faith.

Going out of your comfort zone is the hardest and most liberating thing you’ll ever experience — do it!
