    Another great content as expected. Thank you for this alfonso. I have to try those tips the next time I travel. As an introvert, I sometimes find myself at a loss of what topics to talk about.

      Thanks Felix! It can be challenging when you're starting to get out there but in my case at least, I gained so much confidence by traveling alone! So glad you found the video interesting in that sense!

    Alfonso, thank you for this video, for an advice! I can confirm, that sometimes solo travel can bring you wonderful experience and a great pleasure of meeting interesting people from different countries. I will never forget some romantic moments in these trips!

    Loved your words Alfonso!! It’s so true what you say about not forcing conversations on other people. Of course you want to make friends and chat to people abroad but don’t make it the main goal of your trip or get hung up on it. It’ll only ruin the experience. Best is it to be open minded and curious, like you were with the baker in Greece.
    While you were walking I tried very hard to focus on you but my eyes couldn’t help but look at the pretty island scenery and backstreets hahahah!
    Love your channel and your work! 🤗❤️👍

      Hi Omar! Thanks for your words in this comment. Just like you say, it's all about letting the conversation and the situations flow naturally 🙌
      The streets in Mykonos are just so beautiful right? Most of the towns in the Cyclades archipelago are just picture-perfect 👏 It was such a joy to get lost in these little alleys!

      @@fonsiabroad Hi Alfonso! Many thanks for your reply. It’s a real pleasure to chat with you and I’m sure all your other viewers feel the same way.
      Exactly that, natural and relaxed and you’ll find sometimes that people sometimes come to you when you’re alone. It’s easier to approach one person than two or more.
      You’re absolutely right!! The streets and alleyways were so calming and the colour schemes, bathed in the sunshine, and to have your energetic and open minded spirit showing it to us made magical.
      Thanks very much and I can’t wait to see the next video from these amazing islands!!

So happy this video was useful 🙌 you're about to discover a whole new way of traveling ✈️ traveling solo is one of the best things that happened to me and I'm sure you'll have a similar experience.

    Sí! Entendimos! A solo travel is not always what others think because it will actually give you the opportunity to be introduced and to meet other people,learning about their culture and all, you just need to be open minded and learn to communicate❤️ muchisimas gracias por este vídeo, me da la oportunidad para viajar y para conocer muchas personas con historias diferentes y también lo más importante es para construir una amistad que eventualmente se convertirá en una forma de entender la cultura del otro❤️ muchisimas gracias y finalmente tu nuevo vídeo está aquí, siempre te echo de menos 😍🤓🤣😜 y nos vemos en el futuro🇵🇭❤️🇪🇸

      Hola Rander! Me alegro de que hayas conectado con el mensaje del video y muchas gracias por tus palabras! Sin duda viajar solo se presta a conocer gente de todas partes del mundo y aprender de sus realidades.
      Como dices mucha gente tiene una concepción distinta de lo que puede significar y para nada tiene que ser algo solitario ¡Todo lo contrario! 🙌
      Me alegro de que te guste mi contenido y te espero la próxima vez, ¡que será pronto! Un saludo ✌️

    Great vid man. I've always enjoyed staying in Hostels due to all the people you meet from everywhere. I've had some rad times after meeting locals and other travelers. I hope to be back in Japan next year going up and down the country and hostels are the way.

    • @fonsiabroad
      @fonsiabroad  Před 2 lety

      Thanks! I totally agree. Hostels are the best way to socialize and meet like minded travelers. Japan seems like such a great country to explore like that. I've never been but I can imagine that would make for an epic trip for sure! 🙌

    Out of pure curiosity, do you apply sunscreen? 😁 perhaps you can share your body/skin care routine while travelling across multiple countries with different climate. Like what would you wear or apply to stay comfortable in any environment… just a thought.. that could be interesting sharing though 😇
