Embracing the Unknown: A Solo Trip to Thailand
July 19, 2023 by Jasmine Lee
The decision to travel to Thailand alone was met with a chorus of worried "Are you sure?"s. But something inside me knew I had to go. The first few days were a blur of navigating foreign streets and feeling utterly out of my depth. But then, a funny thing happened. I started to trust myself.
I learned to haggle in markets, to order food with gestures and a smile, to find my way with a map and a sense of adventure. I discovered a deep well of resilience within me. From the vibrant chaos of Bangkok to the peaceful mountains of Chiang Mai, I found not just a new country, but a new, more confident version of myself.
