aspects it is nice to have some company and someone to hang on
to in case of need or sickness. On the other hand, travelling alone
is the only way to truly connect with the places you are visiting
and yourself.
Being alone in a foreign country allowed me to feel truly free
and let me have a total control of my life. When nobody knows
you and you don’t know anyone, you can fully be yourself or
reinvent yourself every day. You can spend time alone or meet
loads of people. You can precisely decide where, when and how
you want to go without having to make compromises. You are in
total control of your journey and it’s a feeling I love. Travelling
alone also allows you to connect better with the locals and other
travellers since you are not “distracted” by a companion. Being
alone is the only way that will really push you outside your
comfort zone and force you to grow and learn about yourself.
And finally, talking about social media, the first tip I can share for
someone looking to gain a quality audience is to always produce
great content. Nowadays, everybody has a phone and a few editing
apps and most people are trying to find a place in the wild world
of social media. I think that the trick that allowed me to grow a
loyal base of followers was to stay loyal to my values (always),
to find a niche where I could talk directly to people like me and
to add value to my audience. I slowly learnt what my audience
liked the most, I listened to them and tried to answer all their
questions. It’s a hard job, especially in a space that’s becoming
more and more commercial and less authentic, but despite it all, I
try to give my readers/followers something new, creative or useful
