Hey all!   
I’m going to California for 5-days! This will be my 1st solo trip ever.   
Can you give me some tips and recommendations for solo traveling or traveling in general?   
Thanks! 💕

I love traveling alone. Don’t  be afraid to change your plans if you see something interesting. The only person you need to make happy is you. 

Northern or Southern California?

Ask the staff at the hotel and other places you are at for recommendations - and let them know if you want the tourist things or the locals things.   
If you are looking for things the locals would do - find the library. It will likely have an area where community events are posted (or the librarians can let you know) and it is usually in an area with other things for locals nearby.

Power bank! Your phone is your lifesaver when you’re alone.

Plan, plan, plan.  Make a list of all the things you need to take.  Have a safe trip. 💖

Audio books, books, notebooks 😅

Be open to be bored often and for unexpected adventures
