Solo travel can be a life-changing experience for anyone.
I know this to be true firsthand because I recently took my first monthlong solo trip, and it was one of the best experiences of my life.
Many of the commenters on my post also felt the same way about the solo trips they took, and shared their own experiences in the comments section of the post.
Since this is a topic I love to discuss, I want to hear more about solo travel experiences and tips from the BuzzFeed Community! If you have traveled by yourself anywhere — locally or internationally — how was the experience for you, and what tips do you have for other solo travelers?
Maybe it was a life-changing experience like mine and it totally shifted your perspective on how rewarding traveling without other people can be.
Perhaps you had the opposite experience and actually encountered something bizarre while traveling alone, prompting you to never take a trip without friends or company again.
Or maybe you have a tip or a warning about staying safe while traveling by yourself, especially as a woman.
It doesn't matter where or for how long your solo trip was, I just want to hear about your experience and your best piece of advice for others! Share it all with me in this anonymous form or in the comments below.
Some responses could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
