Ideally, practice travelling alone on the places that you are familiar with. Though this may sound boring and silly, it totally works. Majority of people don’t like travelling or spending time alone but that doesn’t mean that all people love company.
Pack light
While travelling alone you hardly use everything that you carried along. Avoid having unnecessary items as there is no one to help you with your luggage. Ensure before leaving you are able to carry your luggage on your own.
Be confident

The fake it until you make it phrase works in well here. Make the best of google maps and let it show you the direction to your destination.
