TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Valentine's Day, which is celebrated every February 14, is usually done by giving gifts, chocolates, roses, and even having a romantic dinner together. This is a way to prove affection to your partner. So, how do you prove love to yourself?
Many people do solo traveling as a way to love themselves. Enjoy solitude, build meaningful relationships, find your identity, and visit dream places through solo traveling. This one vacation method helps travelers focus on loving and appreciating themselves.
If you are interested in going on a vacation alone on Valentine's Day, here are tips for traveling solo quoted from Travel Noire and Essence.
1. Choose a tourist destination
The first step is to plan an adventure, choose a dream destination, be it a beach in Bali, the exciting streets of Tokyo, or beautiful alleys in Paris. A vacation alone during Valentine's Day is a way to calm down and focus on your desires. Doing it in a romantic location like Paris is not the best choice, travelers can visit natural attractions or stay at a resort that has a restaurant, bar, spa, and swimming pool.
2. Find joy in being alone
Solo travel gives travelers the opportunity to do whatever they want without the distractions of other people or the demands of everyday life. Stroll through beautiful neighborhoods, stop to admire stunning architecture, and enjoy local cuisine. Then head to popular destinations and dine at delicious restaurants.
3. Socialize and connect with others
Make your vacation a memorable experience through unexpected experiences and meaningful connections with others. Chat with locals or join a group tour to meet like-minded travelers. Solo travelers never know who they’ll meet or how they’ll impact them. So, enjoy every moment to keep your travels enjoyable.
4. Focus on nourishing your mind, body, and soul
As the goal of spending quality time alone, prioritize your well-being and keeping your mind, body, and soul healthy. Visit a spa, practice yoga, or relax with a book. Be gentle with yourself during both good and bad travel experiences.
5. Be flexible
Memorable travel experiences come from the unplanned and chance encounters. Being flexible during the trip makes it easy for travelers to face problems and not get stressed. Don't worry that everything doesn't go according to plan, adapt and find joy in unexpected situations.
6. Learn to be mindful and grateful
A solo vacation provides an opportunity to practice mindfulness and gratitude. Make a note of things to be grateful for while traveling. It shifts the focus of solo travelers to the positive aspects.
7. Pamper yourself with special gifts
Give yourself a reward, whether it's dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a hot air balloon ride, or VIP tickets to a show. Pamper solo traveling through self-care or positive activities that are rarely or never done before.
8. Try new activities
Instead of being sad about being single on Valentine's Day alone, challenge yourself to try something new and create an unforgettable experience to remember for a lifetime during solo traveling.
