or the less talked..<\/strong>
benefits of travelling solo\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n


I believe it\u2019s essential to express my gratitude to my family for supporting my decisions. No one of them really travels for work abroad and for a long time, I seemed crazy. Crazy for travelling solo and pursuing the modelling career. As my biggest fan would always be my granny. She even watches FashionTV because of me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The travel bug infected me since childhood. My grandfather used to work in Egypt and Nigeria. Super exotic destinations, which I still have seen only on photos.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

In my previous article, I mapped down all the things, I wished I knew before starting modelling. You can read it here.\u00a0https:\/\/wp.me\/pc4dpq-g7<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

This is another retrospection. I will focus more on travelling<\/strong> solo<\/strong>, how it changes you and what were my life-lessons so far. I believe travelling enhance your world vision and makes you a more compassionate person. Everything is strongly individual but I do believe many things apply to any young person who has the opportunity to travel and experience the world.<\/p>\r\n

I resonate a lot with the quote by C.S. Lewis<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n
\r\n

Isn\u2019t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

I am not who I was a year ago and I am not who I was five years ago. Change is the only constant thing in life. We all experience change differently. I owe to modelling abroad and travelling solo, the person I am today.<\/p>\r\n

Benefits of travelling solo as a woman <\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Always moving, living in my suitcase.
Modelling and travelling by myself taught me very necessary skills. Any model will confirm that the first thing you learn is to get around the cities yourself. The agencies rarely arrange airport pick-up, you get a map on your email and you are on your own. The adventure begins after you land.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

The first day is always a nightmare. I am jet-lagged, I have no idea where I am. I don\u2019t speak the language (English is not enough).<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

Carrying all of my life in a few suitcases trying to reach my \u201cfuture home\u201d with the caution, I could be a target to some pickpockets. Or the other way around, sometimes the agency wants to see me immediately after the airport. After I just arrived in the new country, they might send me to castings.<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s real work, not a vacation.<\/strong>
From all the years doing modelling and travelling solo, I learned how to use a map and improve my orientation (I can\u2019t access Google maps when I still don\u2019t have a Sim Card<\/em>). All men reading this will think it\u2019s not a big deal. But there are countless researches showing that men have a better sense of direction and navigation skills.<\/h2>\r\n
