I’m 19M and currently on my first solo trip in Hanoi. I arrived yesterday but didn’t do much because I was extremely jet lagged and mostly just rested.
Today was supposed to be my first proper day exploring, but it didn’t really go that way. Even though I slept around 8.5 hours, I still found it hard to get out and actually engage with anything. I only left my accommodation a few times — once to get food, once to buy a phone charger adapter, and once after spending a long time trying to push myself to go outside.
Right now I feel like I’ve unintentionally isolated myself instead of starting the trip properly. I have friends joining me in about two weeks, but I’m worried about how to spend the time until then without just staying inside the whole time.
Has anyone experienced something similar at the beginning of a solo trip? Any advice on how to break out of this and actually start making the most of being here would be really appreciated.
