Solo travel experience

I recently returned from a short solo trip to Mallorca. It felt very safe. I even left my belongings on the beach but for peace of mind, I kept my phone, documents, and cash in a waterproof case. I didn't experience any discomfort while traveling around the island.

Solo travel experience

Mallorca was gorgeous, warm, and felt safe. On the first day, I was exploring Palmanova and relaxing on the beach. It was pleasant but too chilly to swim. On the second day, I took the bus to Palma and did the city tour, stopping at the castle. I also went on the boat tour. The Cathedral in Palma was stunning. After that, I walked around the town. On the third day, I took the 100-year-old train from Palma to Soller, which was the best part of my trip.
