ok i think it depends on ur definition of solo tho bc ive definitely flown + stayed solo in accoms (like hostels) and went around by myself too but most of the time i do meet up with friends wherever i am and then we hang out together! but for the days when im alone i usually am quite carefree, maybe i have 1 or 2 things i really want to do and then for the rest of the time i'll explore the area, for example in seoul i'd maybe have 2 cafes in a certain area i want to visit but then i'll roam around the area, that's how i usually plan my itinerary for myself (granted i can speak korean so its easier for me in seoul but regardless everyone there so far has some basic grasp of english at least so i don't think you'd need to worry about that unless you go to those super local places) for flying i usually book redeye flights so that i don't have to stay awake and wait for the flight to end, i just knock out like a light 😭 i think it's definitely scary to be solo travelling for the first time but as long as you can keep an open mind (for example if some things go wrong you just have to take it into stride and keep moving on, don't dwell and panic on that one thing only and spoil your trip) while also being aware of your surroundings and looking out for yourself (especially if you're a woman, just be extra careful) you should be fine! i've met some nice ppl while i was going around by myself but in the case you're not so comfortable with that, it would be good if you could find a friend who will be there to so that you can spend time with them as well~ good luck anon for your first solo travel!!
