A place for all of those interested in solo travel to share their experiences and stories! 

### Rules of the Subreddit

1. Posts must be related to __solo__ travel, not just travel in general. No memes.

2. Help create an inclusive environment. **r/solotravel has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, harassment and gatekeeping.** Rule-breaking posts and comments will be removed and repeat offenders may be banned. Posting about sex tourism is not permitted and is an immediately bannable offence.

3. Search before posting, chances are someone's asked your question before. **Repetitive questions will be removed.**

4. Links to blogs/vlogs, clickbait, surveys, fundraising campaigns, or [self-promotional content](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) will be removed. However, you can post it in the ["General Chatter"](https://www.reddit.com/r/solotravel/search?q=General+chatter&sort=new&restrict_sr=on) thread. 

5. **Pure image/video posts, polls, and standalone external links will be removed.** However, we encourage photos in Trip Reports!

6. Posts regarding meet-ups, requests for get-togethers, seeking travel partners, and seeking accommodation recommendations are only permitted in the weekly General Chatter, Meetup and Accommodation thread.

7. Rants or travel victory posts are only permitted in the weekly General Chatter, Meetup and Accommodation thread.

8. Posts/comments suggesting, condoning, or seeking advice on illegal activities will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to: illegal drug use/trafficking, prostitution, illegal hunting, purchasing/carrying weapons, working without a visa, overstaying visas, bringing in illegal/restricted items.

9. **Low-effort posts and polls will be removed without warning.** Do your own research; r/solotravel is not a free personal travel agent. Posts such as "Plan my trip" or "Is there anything to do" or "Where should I stay in...?" or "Vote on where I should go", as well as questions that can be answered immediately with Google, will be removed without warning.

10. **Give us specifics when asking for advice:** where you're starting, when you're going, what do you want to do, your budget, your interests and the like. When asking for travel advice, please try to include at least two of the following: budgets, itinerary, interests, what research you've already done. For visa questions, always include your citizenship.

11. **Trip reports are encouraged!** If you need a template, you can find one [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/solotravel/comments/cfxkr9/trip_report_template/?)

12. Unsolicited AMAs are not permitted. Please contact the mod team if you are interested in holding an AMA.
 
13. **COVID-specific questions or posts**, including questions related to entry restrictions, insurance, openings/closures, what a specific place is like during COVID, or when things will reopen or return to normal, should be directed to the Weekly General Chatter megathread. You can also consult past [COVID megathreads](https://www.reddit.com/r/solotravel/search?q=CoVID+megathread&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all).

14. **ChatGPT or other AI-generated content** is not allowed and will be removed as spam.
