Im in my late 30s and in my early 30s, I went off and did some traveling alone. Same thing you said at the end, I didnt want to waste my life or miss opportunities to wait for someone to come along to travel with so off I went. It was scary but it was absolutely fantastic and worth it and I would 100% do it again. The first time, I did book a 2 week group tour which I really enjoyed and felt a bit safer when I had never done anything like that before. Then a few years later, I took my Mum and it was equally as fantastic π im so glad you are doing these things for yourself. And to others, don't wait! You need to live your life whether be it alone or with others
If there was ever a place were a young woman was going to solo travel it would definitely be Thailand itβs one of the most safest places in the world Iβm glad your having a enjoyed it well done β€οΈ
Giiirl! Youβre an inspiration! Traveling solo to these amazing countries! Love this!
enjoy the first Thailand vlog! πΉπ whatβs your fave Thai dish?
Great video. Iβm Contemplating booking my first solo trip next month February 2026 . You have inspired me to do so β€
7:09 that is just beautiful
Thank you for sharing your solo travel experiences. I am going to be traveling solo next year and seeing you do it makes me confident in knowing I can have a good time.
Hey came across this vid while researching Ao Nang. Love what you said at the end regarding solo travel. I've been traveling solo to music festivals all over the world for 15 years. It does get lonely but I love music and travel so I dont want to waste that love stuck at home. I also have anxiety though, so I tend stick around my hotel and just travel to and from the festivals without doing much exploring. My trip to Thailand in December will be my first real time exploring solo in a country.
Hi Celine. I just checked out your video. I just wanted to share some thoughts on solo travelling. I'm 58 and have done some solo travelling (not full-time) but for vacations etc. I was always hesitant to do it, not because I couldn't, but was worried about not having a good time...obviously you can. I initially did touristy stuff, but I wasn't being fulfilled to the fullest. It was only when I started opening myself up and actively talking to locals and making friends, local and foreign...that I felt a part of the country I was visiting. I notice that most vloggers don't ever mention the people they meet on their videos, if ever. I find that a shame. Meeting different people is the reason I travel. When I return home, my friends ask me about my trip and want to see pics, but I always say....let me tell you about the people I've met. I've made great friends in Thailand. Spent time at their homes. Rode motorbikes in the mountains with them. Distributed gifts and fed school children of the hill tribes outside of Chiang Mai as a part of their enduro (motorbike) club. It was my BEST DAY EVER in Chiang Mai. None of which would have been possible had I had not made the effort to speak to the locals as somebody who wanted to get to know them. I wish more people would talk about the people they meet while traveling than where they visit. Its easy to go see the cool places, get the great pics, but maybe take a minute at the end of your video and tell a story about somebody you met while there. You seem down to earth and a nice person. I don't think you'd have a problem making friends with the locals...especially in Thailand. I think you'll be surprised how fulfilling it is. They will treat you like family! Have a wonderful day and safe travels! Regards...Eric ps.I wish I started solo traveling at a younger age..glad you're getting out there!
4:46 - 5:28 This beach is beautiful, this beach is sandy and the water is calm. This trip is a cool life experience, I hope you enjoy your trip and keep creating good memories.
I'm heading to Thailand for the first time next month solo and thoroughly enjoyed this video :) We have similar experience as Japan being both of our first solo trips outside of our home countries. So, I completely relate to everything you were feeling and thinking in those quiet moments. I just want to say that I'm super proud of you for taking the leap out on your own, and this further helps me feel more confident, reassured, and grateful to be able to do this on my own as well. Much love from LA, and I look forward to more of your travel experiences! πβπΎπ
Very good video π
I also got my oh sh*t moment when i was in koh poda island when i was sunbathing after lunch and i realised i was in my vision board and i could just take a flight be in a whole different world, i was feeling so grateful .ππAnd the tour guide for your four island tour was the same girl for us. It was so nice seeing her again π
Missing Thailand so baaadβ€
Winding down for the night and look what the refresh page brought me once again! Excited!
Iβve been doing more solo traveling too, so I totally hear you. While the loneliness pops up every now and then, Iβve really come to love and appreciate the experience overall - itβs been such a rewarding way to explore and grow. Iβve been to the beaches in Koh Samui and Phuket, and Krabi looks fantastic as well! I love Chiang Mai and Bangkok and canβt wait to see your vlogs from those places too.
Thanks loved the SF one
Excellent β€β€β€
Fantastic video!
Iβve always wanted to tryyyy traveling solo β€
