I know the usual advice is that you can do whatever you want on solo trips, but I am more interested in what people actually tend to do in practice.
I am going on my first solo trip next week to Chicago and Denver. Chicago is mostly planned out, but Denver is still very open with just a loose plan to do some hiking and see the scenery.
I feel a bit nervous that if I do not fill my schedule with activities, I might feel like I am wasting the trip. I am curious how others decide what to do when traveling alone. Do you usually have a set routine or specific types of activities you try to do in every place you visit?
