Having countless solo trips, Travel Blogger Vinh Gau shares: "Traveling alone gives me the experience of 100% freedom, managing my own expenses, planning and deciding everything, staying wherever I want, eating whatever I want, looking at whatever I want... Besides, during those trips, I get to personally interact with many personalities and ways of life of the locals to learn many things, and it's also easier to get to know them or other tourists."
Through the eyes of a solo traveler, the vast world out there still has many new things to discover. The emergence of travel applications is the bridge to make solo travel more convenient than ever.
Travel Blogger Vinh Gau has had countless impressive solo trips.
Traveling alone, is it easy?
Every solo trip is not just a matter of going on a whim, but you need to plan it out in detail to ensure that you do not encounter difficult situations in a foreign land. For Vinh Gau, his top concern is to ensure his own safety by avoiding politically unstable areas with the risk of military conflict, or places that are too wild if he does not have any survival experience.
For Vinh Gau, every step he takes is a lesson, a story and an opportunity to discover more about where he is going.
Not only stopping at the security aspect, he also emphasized: "You need to understand the rules of conduct, culture, costumes and local cuisine to integrate faster. 'Having' a few basic communication sentences in the local language is also a way to avoid feeling awkward when traveling alone." Because for Vinh Gau, every step he takes is a lesson, a story and an opportunity to discover more about the place he is going to.
With a clear plan, Vinh Gau also shared about financial preparation, putting in local currency and at least a small amount of USD/EUR, along with a credit card. He also did not forget to mention medical issues, bringing a first aid kit and familiar personal medicines to face any emergency situation.
Solo travel, indispensable travel apps as friends
With a busy travel schedule, the "travel-hungry" Bear has had the opportunity to experience many different travel applications, including Agoda. Vinh Gau does not hesitate to emphasize the advantages that he clearly sees and regularly experiences on this application. In particular, he believes that Agoda's prices are always attractive, surpassing competitors in the field of booking. Not only that, Agoda also regularly launches promotions and promotional codes to help travelers save money.
According to Vinh Gau, he said: "You should book 1-2 months earlier than the expected date to get a better price. Regularly follow Agoda's updates to make the most of promotional codes to save a lot of money. And if possible, don't hesitate to register as a member to enjoy discount policies exclusively for loyal customers."
Often traveling alone, travel apps are Vinh Gau's companions.
Agoda is not just a place to book rooms, but also a flexible center for all the needs of travelers. Vinh Gau said that being able to book many different services in the same application is a big advantage, helping to optimize the experience of booking rooms and other services. Moreover, the Agoda network is widespread, so you can easily use it wherever you are.
Planning a solo trip is no longer too complicated, just plan your destination, departure and return dates, hotel... Then open the Agoda app, the rest is just a matter of choosing according to your preferences and personal needs.
"Based on your plan, you can go to Agoda to check prices, compare prices and then book services. You can choose hotels with Free Cancellation and Pre Payment to split the payment amount at once to lighten your wallet," Vinh Gau said.
Go far, but do not be afraid when you are well equipped.
