Welcome to gotravelyourself.com – A Solo Travel Blog for People Who’d Rather Go Than Wait.
This site is for anyone who’s ever said, “I want to travel, but no one can come with me.” Hence our motto: “Travel solo. travel smart, travel well.“
Whether you’re planning your first solo trip or you’ve already racked up passport stamps on your own, this is your space. We created this blog because solo travel changed our lives—and we believe it can change yours too.
Here’s what you’ll find on the site:
- Destination Guides: Focused on solo-friendly places—where to go, how to get around, where to stay, and what to avoid.
- Solo Travel Tips: From staying safe to dealing with loneliness, this is practical advice based on real experiences.
- Itineraries & Ideas: Whether you have 3 days or 3 months, find trip ideas that fit your budget, comfort zone, or wild side.
- Personal Stories: The highs, the mess-ups, the people I met, and the moments that made solo travel unforgettable.
This isn’t about being fearless or ultra-adventurous. It’s about taking that first step—booking the flight, showing up in a new place alone, and realizing you’re more capable than you thought.
Solo travel isn’t just a style—it’s a mindset. You learn to trust yourself, to get curious, to be okay with quiet, and to find joy in your own company. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.
We are not here to sell you tours* or pretend every trip is perfect. We are here to share what works, what doesn’t, and how to make solo travel feel doable—even if you’re nervous (especially if you’re nervous).
So if you’re ready to stop waiting and start exploring, you’re in the right place.

Safe travels and see you soon!

Hi there! My name is Jenny, and I’m a travel writer who is endlessly curious about the world and always on the hunt for the next best-kept travel secret. My expertise lies in creating destination guides that enable you to travel smarter and especially if you travel solo.
My bylines have appeared on blogs, travel sites, and content agencies, and I’m always ready for the next adventure (and next great caffeine fix). In between assignments, you can find me trawling through a bazaar, sampling street food, or getting lost in an unfamiliar metropolis by choice.
Hello, I am Jan, a travel writer based in the Czech Republic. I specialize in discovering and writing about my homeland—medieval towns, mountain hikes, the local pub scene, and off-the-tourist-radar destinations.
I also write about life as an expat in Czechia—just what it is like to live here, and not just visit. I write sometimes about other countries from the region: Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia.
Hi, I’m Natalia, an Argentine-born writer of travel pieces. My articles about my hometown of Buenos Aires reflect the way it exists to me—beyond the conventional attractions, reaching the regular locales, the local haunts, and actual tales that make Buenos Aires.
I also blog about expat life here—what it really is like to make this city one’s home, from the enjoyable aspects (weekend ferias and those late-night empanadas) to the frustrating ones (hi, paperwork). If you’re stopping by or considering making Buenos Aires home, I aim to be honest, practical, and somewhat personal.
Andrea is a travel writer who splits her time between Austria and Croatia, drawing from both to tell grounded, engaging stories about culture, food, and local life. With a sharp eye for detail and a no-nonsense style, she covers everything from alpine villages and Viennese cafés to Adriatic islands and Dalmatian coastlines. Her work captures the rhythms of everyday life in both countries—beyond the tourist traps—always focused on what’s real, interesting, and worth experiencing. When she’s not writing, she’s hiking, swimming, or hunting down the best coffee in town.
Hi, I’m Lily, a travel writer based in the UK who loves exploring everything from familiar hometown gems to the varied landscapes across Europe. Whether I’m strolling through charming coastal villages or hopping trains across the continent, I’m always on the lookout for authentic, unexpected stories and experiences.
My writing style is simple and relatable—think no-fuss guides to finding the best pasty in Cornwall or stress-free tips for getting around European cities. If there’s a great view, tasty food, or a bit of history involved, chances are I’m already scribbling notes about it.
Hi, I’m Laura — a travel writer with a thing for Switzerland and Central Europe. I write practical, down-to-earth guides that help people get the most out of their trips, whether they’re navigating mountain trains in the Alps or finding the best cafés in small Czech towns. I’m based in Zurich, but I’m often on the road, notebook in hand, chasing great views, good food, and local stories. My goal? To make travel feel less overwhelming and way more fun.
Hey everyone! I’m Luciana, a travel writer from Colombia. I focus on places I know and love — mostly Colombia, Central America, and North America.
I’m all about discovering those hidden gems that don’t always make it into the guidebooks — think street food stalls, quiet little towns, underrated hiking trails, and the kind of real-life moments that truly capture what a place is all about.
Whether I’m wandering through vibrant markets in Guatemala, cruising across the deserts of the U.S., or hiking the Andes, I try to keep it real and useful — no fluff, just the good stuff.
When I’m not off exploring or writing about it, you’ll probably find me sipping too much coffee, editing photos, or dreaming up my next trip.
Let’s keep discovering and traveling smarter — one trip at a time.
Hi! I’m Vamika Sharma, a travel blogger from the colorful city of Jaipur, India. I’ve always had a deep love for exploring new places, meeting new people, and soaking in the beauty of different cultures. Through my blog, I share my adventures across India, Asia, and Oceania — from bustling cities and peaceful villages to hidden beaches and towering mountains. Whether you’re planning your next trip or just daydreaming about far-off lands, I’m here to inspire you with travel stories, tips, and a little bit of wanderlust!
