What is your process for planning a trip? How do you choose your destinations?
I know this is an older video but maybe @allisonanderson will see it. Do you book through airlines, travel agents, or something like Travelocity?
This gave me new ideas.
Another rlly useful thing i found was this company called kendrick & jefferson, which already have uploaded itineraries for like £25 for 4-7 day trips and theyre really good and comprehensive, they also do personalised itineraries which are really good. Audley Travel is another company but its rlly expensive so might not be accessible to everyone.
Another tip is that solo travelling becomes easier with every trip. My first trip i didnt go to a single restaurant because i was so anxious about it, but now its not even a second thought. Solo travelling changed my life i think everybody should do it its revoutionary and a freedom that women in particular havent been able to have until now so we should really embrace it 🙂
Welcome to l'm from Marocco
I spent 2 months waiting for friends to jump but seems like now I have to go solo haha. Thank You for the tips.
Thanks a lot, I like your channel.
Great video! Sorry if I'm not suppose to be here I wanted to add my method. I don't ask myself what I want to do or see. I ask myself what I want to experience. Do I want to experience culture, beaches, cuisine, history, etc. I plan my budget and destinations by searching "my destination country" and find a backpacker blog about it. They travel the same way and style as I do. I look for free walking tours of a city. There's no tickets or reservations needed the guides work for tips. This way the tours are really good and you get to meet other backpackers and travellers. I never have a concrete plan. I keep my plans fluid. Normally, I have an idea of places I want to go to and see. I tend to meet other travellers and they'll share ideas for me I never knew existed.
This is a very good video. I like it very much. Thank you! You have so many exotic trips, why your husband doesn’t go with you? I need to plan some solo trip, because. I want to retire early, but my husband doesn’t want to retire early.
What travel insurance do you normally use?
I like this, Allison. If you enjoy doing this type of video, maybe you would you be interested to review our travel planning site? I'd definitely be interested to work with you, and even if you are interested, we have an affiliate program with high commission rates, if you want to make a little extra money. Please let me know and thanks. 🙂

Waw, all this is (over)work is unnecessary…
Great advice, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
I think it's the coolest thing ever that your husband is supportive of you doing solo travel. 😭❤😭
Great tips! Thank you so much. Mexico here I come!
Come to india Allison …south india Tamilnadu and kerala …😎😎you will enjoy
Allison, do people ask you constantly why your husband doesn’t go on your travels? It happens allllll the time to me, he just doesn’t have a huge desire, but I think I’m getting closer to convincing him! I’m just tired of explaining it to others.
Ok Allison, I'd love a template for planning a trip lol is that possible?
This is great! I am building out a 1988 chevy van home to travel and work in film and tv and I have been worried bc I am a solo female traveler so I really want to make sure I take extra safety precautions. Thank you for making a video for fellow women. It can be a battle to be a woman in this world but we are so much safer if we have each other's backs<3
Where can I find tour guides, or apps to find tours?Thanks so much
Thank you for all your tips for beginners!
This was very informational, thanks for sharing! I am currently planning my 2nd solo trip. Headed to LA to visit family/the national parks nearby (Death Valley, Channel Islands, etc).
A hostel private room is pretty much gonna run you the same price as a low start hotel. At that point I'd suggest the hotel bc you'd have your own shower etc.
My first solo travel was to Ireland. My first reason I choose Ireland was: Titanic (It will take me to: Belfast and Queenstown/Cobh). But also the music and dance… I have follow a Irish Band for 10 years in a row. But also the pictures and documentaries I saw about the country – the scenery was so beautyfull – from the hills to the glens. I stayed in the capitols: Belfast and Dublin at bed and Breakfast – love it. The host is so helpfull and nice. I didn't need anything. I want to see must of ireland so – From the capitols – I went on bus- and traintours to north- west and southireland, were I met other people. I maid plans for what to see and eat – but also keep a space to suggest from the locals – my host.. I remember I lost for my telephone – my host help me with the police, look around my room and on my last day – they lend their telephone to me – so I could call home. I only use my phome – when I arrive and go home. I have a adapter – I cut use in their country and a travelbook.
Do you have any advice on booking tours for one? I ran into issues a couple times, where you have to have more than one person. Or they charge you for two.
Thank you! Great tips!!
