⚠️

Avoid These Costly Mistakes

❌ Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) — always pay in local currency, not INR, when card machine asks
❌ Exchanging all cash at airport — rates are 4–6% worse than authorised dealers
❌ Using credit card without informing bank — card may be blocked for fraud suspicion
❌ Bringing back unspent foreign currency too late — must convert within 60 days of return under RBI rules
❌ Loading one card only — always have a backup card from a different network (Visa + Mastercard)
❌ Ignoring TCS — for remittances above ₹7 lakh, 20% TCS applies but can be claimed in your annual ITR

🌏 Best Solo Destinations for Indians

🇯🇵 Japan — #1 for solo: Ultra-safe, world-class food, reliable transport, solo-dining culture (ichiran ramen booths designed for one). English signage everywhere. From ₹1.2L.
🇸🇬 Singapore — easiest first solo: English-speaking, zero crime risk, incredible food, connects to all of Southeast Asia. Weekend getaway from ₹45,000.
🇵🇹 Portugal — best value Europe solo: Friendliest country in Europe, cheapest Schengen destination, stunning cities, great hostels. From ₹1.4L.
🇻🇳 Vietnam — backpacker classic: ₹600–800/day budget possible. Incredible food trail from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. Safe, English-friendly tourist infrastructure.
🇮🇸 Iceland — for the adventurous: Safest country on earth. Incredible nature. Most expensive (₹6,000+/day) but unforgettable for solo.
🇳🇵 Nepal — nearby and transformative: From ₹25,000. Trekking with group guides is easy, safe and life-changing. Perfect first international solo for Indians.

🛡 Solo Safety Essentials

📍 Share your itinerary: WhatsApp your hotel names, addresses and daily plans to family before each day. Check in by 10pm daily.
📱 Always have data: Buy local SIM or eSIM on Day 1. Google Maps offline, translation app, insurance app. Save Indian Embassy number.
💳 Split your money: Card in wallet, emergency cash in bag, backup card in hotel safe. Never carry everything together.
🚕 Use apps for transport: Grab (SE Asia), Bolt (Europe), Uber (global). Never unmarked taxis alone at night.
🏨 Stay social: Hostel common rooms, walking tours, cooking classes and Couchsurfing meetups turn solo into social. You are never really alone.
🪪 Photocopy documents: Scan passport, visa, insurance to Google Drive. Email yourself copies. Keep one photocopy separate from originals.

💰 Solo Budget Guide

Budget (₹2,500–4,000/day): Hostel dorm beds (₹800–1,500), street food and local restaurants, free museums, local transport. Works in SE Asia and Nepal.
Mid-range (₹5,000–9,000/day): Private hostel room or budget hotel, restaurant meals, occasional paid attraction. Works in most of Asia and Eastern Europe.
Comfortable (₹10,000–18,000/day): 3–4 star hotels, all main attractions, Ubers, nice dinners. Works in Western Europe, Japan, Singapore, UAE.
Solo supplement warning: Many hotels charge 75–100% of double room for singles. Always ask — many will negotiate, especially for 3+ nights. Hostels are always the same price.

Travel With Soul

It’s My Getaway was born in 2008 from a simple belief: that the best travel is not about ticking boxes — it’s about finding yourself somewhere completely new.

We started as a small team of passionate travellers who were frustrated by cookie-cutter packages. We wanted to build something different — a travel company where every itinerary is as individual as the person taking the trip.

Seventeen years later, we have planned over 12,000 journeys across 85 countries for families, honeymooners, solo adventurers and corporate groups. The philosophy has never changed.
