1. Kavya Saxena aka Crazyfeetkavya

Kavya Saxena aka the CrazyFeetKavya has ditched city life to pursue 180 days of solo trip over-landing in India. For her, travelling is like a book of stories, the more you read it, the more the characters start rubbing on you. Kavya was in a full-time job with India’s topmost Fortune 500, but started travelling full-time during the pandemic, and has travelled solo every weekend without a break since 2009.



"When travelling solo you have to be the decision-maker and drive them and stick to them even if they fail. It also depends on the traveller how they take care of their own safety, and stay vigil. You master multitasking once you are travelling solo. You start living more sustainably as a traveller (need for experiences enhance than material possessions ). I have realized that India is very safe for women travellers.. even for the solo ones, and I think we should pass on this message."

2. Raksha Nagaraj aka solopassport

She has traveled to 40 countries across 5 continents until now, but she still long to travel over and over again.



"The biggest challenges of travelling solo are ensuring safety and minimizing the costs. But, it has taught me many things. From packing light to being street smart when traveling alone. From helping me trust strangers, and taking a leap of faith to ensure my safety, I have definitely learned a lot of things while travelling solo."

3. Swati Chaturvedi aka little_things_we_do

Swati started travelling when she was working in a corporate house that would make corporate films. She has even worked in a lot of TV commercials as an Assistant Director and an Associate Producer. But, then travelling changed her life. She fell in love with the feeling which it would bring. For her, it is about meeting new people, understand their culture, and returning with a wide horizon.



"Travelling solo taught me to take the full responsibility of my doings which otherwise I would blame on other people! It has also made me more confident in tasks and planning. The only challenge that I find travelling solo is I just can’t fall asleep anytime and need to be aware of my surroundings at all times."

"There is hell a lot of challenges while travelling solo, but the more you travel, the more you learn! I am a keen learner, meeting new people, and exploring places excites me. It’s scary, “ Par darr ke aage jeet hai, aur khoobsurat raste aur log” this thought bribes me every time. It’s absolutely blissful. Every answer is hidden somewhere, it’s like a mystery, you just have to solve it and if you’re lost that means you’re near the clue itself."

5. Smriti Shankar aka Travellingboots

She started  travelling solo in 2000s. Her college was in Manipal and she ran to Goa to get away from the familiar and explore the unfamiliar. She decided to be a full-time traveller in 2014, during her visit to UAE. One of her friends told her to write down her experiences, and that's how travelling Boot was born.

" Travel is my Meditation. While we live our every day, every hour for others. In my consideration, my travel is the one time I live just for myself and do any and everything just to make me happy. Solo travelling is challenging as I can't be IRRESPONSIBLE with myself. I have to always put myself first and protect myself, but now it has become a way of life for me."

It has taught me time management, the importance of living in the moment, Patience, showed me the magnificence of the universe and how we’re just a tiny part of it. When travelling solo, I prefer my trips to be well planned, and that would be the tip for all the solo travellers, that keep their itineraries well planned!

8. Namrata Das aka scatteredmaps

Namrata had her first solo trip when she was 20. She was always fascinated by the blogs of Australian hippies. Documenting her own travel stories was always her dream. " I was in the first year of my college when I went on my first trip without my family, and had even lied to them. I told them I need to travel for a project. They did allow me to go, but my parents discovered the truth soon after. But I was glad that I could travel before I was caught, lol."



She feels travelling solo lets you learn how to react in certain situations. Sometimes, it does get lonely, but you learn to be content with yourself. "It taught me so much about humans and places that no book could ever teach me in the past two decades. I have realized it's important to slow down. And that happiness can have different definitions for different people."

Currently, she is on a 100 days solo travel mission and has planned to travel the entire country.



"Solo travel is a task in India. If we don't know the language, it will be a big problem. I always think about my safety. Also, when you are alone you have to take care of everything. From expenses to unexpected situations, to emergencies. But, with time, you learn these things. Travelling solo has trained me to save money, has improved my confidence, and I have overcome my fears!"

I have explored 28 states till now, and have never come across anything negative. I think everybody should travel solo at least once, and experience it on their own."
