Hey, Archie, it was so good to know that you're taking this Q and A session. So since I'm taking a lead in the last week of my December vacation, can can you please suggest me a few places which would be good to visit in India during the last week of December? What will be the weather and how should I go about it? Thank you. Bye

Hey, how do you manage to like Vlog and document your trip and as well as enjoy? Because once you are Vlogging and once you are documenting a trip, then enjoyment comes on the secondary part. So how do you manage to do both pretty well

Hi Arushi, thank you for this platform. Firstly, I would like to know about more about solo travel trips because I always think about them. But then I always also think, how am I going to do those things? And how do I get good places? As I saw in one of your Vlogs, you were staying in this beautiful place. So how do you get trusted, good places, affordable places. And how do you go about with it?

But it becomes so much easier for your first solo travel to be successful and you're safe because you are in a hostel where there are tons of people and you don't have to worry about your safety. The next thing that you asked us about weekend getaway. So I'm not sure in which place you decide. But if you reside in Mumbai and you're looking for a weekend getaway, then there are tons of places now currently because it's in November December season, you can go for camping

Normally it's not that touristy, but it's a very beautiful island. If you're looking to just stay at one island, enjoy the place and not get exhausted. Lakshodi is the place so it's Bangoram Island in Lakshodi that is open for tourism by the government activities are there. You can do everything you can do snorkeling I'm not sure if there's Kumar diving

But honestly, when you travel and you stay in a hostel, the group join along with you. And the budget normally cuts down by like five to six K. Normally. So like, a minimum budget of 30 to 35 is something that you can keep in mind if you're going for a week or so on a solo trip

This is the four places that I think you can visit from the north coming directly from the south. Now you can visit Pondy Cherry. Pondy Cherry is one of the most beautiful French colonial street love food. You'll never regret missing that. So when you go to Pondy Cherry, I'll give you like a quick advice. You start from Chennai. You stay in Chennai for a day or two. If you feel like if not, you can move to Mahabalipuram first

I'm sure even when it comes to that, the people around me get annoyed that she's not enjoying at all. But that is something that I'm trying to do right now. And yeah, I hope this helps

Hi hashita. I hope you're well during solo travel, make sure you choose a hostel only like in Bold and hostel only. You can never go wrong with Hostels World dot com. Com you have Zosdels. So these are like two brands that you can just close your eyes and trust. I'm not saying that honestly, that was a sarcastic way, but what you can do is any state that you're booking. Now you have tons of reviews given there

Hi Arushi, I love your content and the questions I want to ask are while traveling. I think safety is my first priority, especially when traveling. And this has been my dream for many years. And just now I'm starting to explore nearby places solo regarding safety issues. Do you have anything to say, or what are the measures that you take, or have you faced any kind of safety concerns while traveling?

Hey there, Sri. Great that you started exploring nearby places, solo or with friends anyway, it doesn't matter. The point is you're enjoying and you're exploring. So like you asked, how do what are the safety measures that I take? The first thing that I do is by solo traveling is make sure I know the people that I am traveling around with
