It is very difficult for me to adequately express how much I enjoyed my fist solo trip. It was a life altering experience for me, and a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I remember being stressed out about such little things, like eating dinner by myself in restaurants, or being worried that I would get lonely. But all those worries and irrational fears washed away as soon as I landed!
Here is a quick breakdown of my trip:

Again, this was my first solo trip, it was a learning lesson, and the things that I learned on this trip I incorporated into my second solo trip. As a result, I spent a lot less money on my second solo trip and I look forward to sharing those stories with all of you very soon!
