FAQ's

How do you plan your solo trips?

I usually start by picking the regions or countries I’m most excited about (like Thailand or Australia), then map out the key areas I want to visit. From there, I research local things to do in each place and write it all down before I go. It keeps things flexible, but I still have a guide to follow!

Did you book your trip all in one place or separately?

I booked everything separately — flights, accommodation, and activities using trusted sites and apps. It gave me more flexibility, and I could choose based on what suited me best.

I want to solo travel, but I’m nervous. How do you manage going alone?

Solo travel can be scary at first — that’s totally normal! I recommend starting somewhere with a good backpacker scene, like Thailand or Australia, where you’re likely to meet other solo travellers easily. Booking group activities or staying in hostels is a great way to connect.

How do you get mobile data or internet while travelling abroad?

I use Airalo, an app that lets you download eSIMs straight to your phone. It’s super easy, no need to find a SIM card when you land. Just choose the country or region, and you’re instantly connected when you arrive.

How can I contact you?

You can reach us by email : explore@mappedandmarked.com. We are always happy to answer your questions.

Where can I learn more about you?

You can explore other sections of this website, such as the "About Us" page or our blog, to learn more about our company, mission, and team.

Where should I go for my first solo trip on a budget?

For budget-friendly solo trips, Southeast Asia is a winner. Think Thailand, Vietnam, or Bali — food, accommodation, and activities are affordable, and there’s a big community of travellers. You can enjoy 3–4 nights on a modest budget and still have an amazing experience!

Are your recommendations personalised or do you work with travel companies?

All suggestions on this site are independent and based on real experiences, research, or feedback from other travellers. I don’t act as a travel agent or sell tours the goal is to help you explore smartly, with useful tips, links, and inspiration.
