Description :
Do you want to travel solo or with someone else with the freedom of choice as an independent traveller? You will learn to pick a safe country that is suitable to your interest, timeline and budget. Once your country has been chosen, prepare for a entry requirements. You will learn how to plan a route, book accommodations, flights and transportation. What to pack including essential items to accommodate a carry on bag less than 10KG. Manage to travel with only under-seat luggage. Personal safety is a priority; learn the tips to be safe. There will be bumps in the road; how to handle them. Through out the process, develop a personal travel itinerary. You may be so excited about your itinerary, that you decide to execute it sometime. Instructor: Jude White's first plane ride was when she was 23 years old, going to New York City from Toronto. She was terrified. Ten years later she arranged a motorhome trip from Amsterdam with her family. It was a 6 week trip visiting 9 countries in Europe. She became hooked on travelling. Throughout her 30's and 40's she earned trips through the companies she worked for. They were primarily all inclusive trips to the USA and Caribbean. There was much fun to be had; however, they lacked adventure. Her first solo trip was to Thailand in 2010. She joined an adventure tour and when it ended in 10 days she travelled solo onwards. It was exhilarating! Her son moved to S. Korea after university to teach English. That part of world became her travel grounds. She has rafted the Mekong river, fished in Nicaragua, ridden an elephant and a camel, paraglided (2025) in Chile, visited Easter island and made friends over the world. She has been to 45 different countries, (not enough). Not all of my trips were solo; however almost all of them were as an Independent Traver. Please join her!
