In most cases, when you travel with a group of friends, family members or fellow staff, is when it becomes a nice hobby.

Some people might end up hating travelling for just a one solo travel. Besides feeling lonely, you might also end up being disturbed by fellow travellers.

Here are key tips you should employ while travelling alone;

1. Get to know other travellers

This will break your boredom if you end up socializing with few friends within your bus, plane etc. Initiate a talk with one next to you so that you do not feel lonely.

2. Avoid clothes that will catch all the attention of other travellers

For instance, you are travelling on Madaraka Express where according to their seating arrangements, travellers face each other, you will be comfortable if what you're putting on does not turn out to be the centre of attention,

3. Avoid flashing your cash

This basically means only carry cash that you will need while on the journey, the rest should be in a safer place, most probably in your bank account or Mpesa. This will ensure you do not overspend and saves your cash from thieves.

4. Believe in yourself

This is a unique tip indeed because it relies on you. You only need to believe you can do it, just challenge yourself and give it try. With a positive focus on you, you will probably enjoy travelling alone.
