It's freeing and empowering to mark the occasion on my own terms without relying on anyone else. I've since fully embraced the idea of a solo birthday celebration. And I noticed how many others were traveling solo, too, whether for adventure or business. Initially, I was concerned about feeling self-conscious while being alone on a trip, but I quickly realized people are generally preoccupied with their own lives and not concerned about others' vacations.

Uninhibited by others' budgets or plans, I completely indulged during my birthday celebration abroad - waking up whenever I pleased, exploring different places, finding free activities to enjoy, and trying out diverse restaurants. It turned out to be the best decision ever. Although I'd initially invited friends, circumstances changed, and I embraced the idea of going solo. Years ago, as my 26th birthday approached, I decided to take myself to Paris.

Now, I try to travel solo for my birthday every year. I was nervous, but I loved it and felt empowered and special on my trip.

My 26th birthday trip to Paris with my friends fell through so I went by myself. Staff went all out for my birthday when I traveled solo to the Maldives.
