HOW TO PLAN A SOLO VACATION 

VISA CHECK

The first step in how to plan a solo vacation is to already have an idea as to which countries you will like to visit (see my Destination page for some ideas) and to start the booking process/checks at least 3 months in advance.  What are you looking for, sea, sun, adventure, snow, culture?  Having this in mind, the next step is to do a visa check to see if you need a visa, remember if you do, it will add to your vacation overall cost, no matter how small. 

You then visit Google Wikipedia and check for your country, here you will find all the countries you will need Visa to visit on one list.
