Must Solo Move Entirely Hold Upwardly Long Term Travel?

Not all “interesting”, “exciting” locomote must hold out long term.   Or around the world. Or to exotic locations.

Small fourth dimension America, flick theather

I read countless posts online from solo travelers going to remote locations,  taking risks that some travelers are non comfortable with, traveling for months.

Often going on a solo trip is adventure plenty for a traveler.   I no longer read nigh the adventures of other travelers.  I don’t desire their success to trammel what I tin do.

Between solo trips Home to Italy or to other locations for stays longer than a few days, I normally apply road trips.

There is endless fourth dimension to think, uncovering as well as apply on a long route trip.   And if y'all conception good y'all tin halt for the nighttime somewhere interesting, novel or historic.
My sis continues to tell me to halt driving early on as well as larn a room.   Usually all the senior travelers are off the interstate past times five PM as well as settled into their hotels past times the fourth dimension I am thinking of where to stop.  The concept of ‘making expert time’ ofttimes urges me to apply some other 100 miles earlier I expect for a hotel.

The opened upwards route may non include the alps, but the bluish ridge is BLUE

Shenandoah Parkway

I concluded some fourth dimension agone that if y'all DONT larn off the interstate as well as OUT OF THE CAR y'all volition never hold out a traveler,  merely a driver.

So on most of my 1,800 mile trips from Georgia to New Bailiwick of Jersey (RT)  I endeavor to accept a route that volition hug the shore from South Carolina to the ferry inward Maryland or if the conditions cooperates I accept the mount route to the Shenandoah Valley.   Both trips get got much to offer.

Two events that  resulted from taking my sisters advice of ‘get off the route early’ may alter my plans for the adjacent route trip.    If y'all get got traveled latterly y'all may get got noticed a sudden growth inward hotel prices.   Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 chain of 3+ star hotels I normally remain in, is forthwith 20% higher or fifty-fifty more!    I no longer remain inward budget hotels alongside doors facing the parking lots nor apply I remain inward premium hotels fifty-fifty though I tin afford them.     Part of my value vs. toll strategy balks at paying $120.00 for 10 hrs inward a hotel.  
Yes I taste comfort.  Yes, I taste luxury.  But when I brand it belatedly as well as exit early on in that place is NO VALUE inward paying more.    On a trip where I may remain for several days the toll is less of import than the amenities or the service.

1.  Stopping early on may let y'all to purpose the locomote coupons y'all uncovering at all the balance stops as well as data centers.     For belatedly arrivals I am ofttimes told ‘we get got no to a greater extent than rooms at that price’.  Calling ahead to banking firm fit if in that place are rooms yet available too helps.   Late nighttime arrivals are at the mercy of the front end desk for pricing.   

2.  Stopping early on allows y'all to explore the areas.   Often I pass an lx minutes or to a greater extent than the adjacent hateful solar daytime visiting the town as well as stopping at whatsoever interesting historic sites or fifty-fifty photograph opportunities.  Last calendar week I was inward Wilson, SC as well as institute a diner.  This is real odd for the South.   There are dandy province nutrient restaurants inward the South but few diners.    The come across alongside the staff resulted inward a split post.  The nutrient is worth planning a 2nd watch on my adjacent route trip!

Consider getting OFF THE ROAD to explore inward the USA or wherever y'all travel.
Give yourself fourth dimension to uncovering what is a local treasure non written abouts n locomote books.
