It’s 2016 and I’m about to embark on my first vacation traveling solo. If you haven’t already check out my blog post “8 Reasons Why Everyone Should Solo Travel Once.” This wasn’t my first trip by any means, I’ve been fortunate enough to explore all over the United States by this point.

Traveling doesn’t have to be confusing! There’s hundreds apps, blogs, and tips out there to help. I’ve complied a list of my favorite tips, tricks, and apps I use every time when planning a trip.
