🇦🇺 A Girl’s Solo Adventure in Cairns | Travel Guide + Honest Tips

My first solo trip abroad—and I felt so brave! 🧳 Met kind souls, saw breathtaking views, and tried unique experiences (though not without hiccups!). Sharing my real talk for fellow solo travelers~ 🔖 DAY 1️⃣: Exploring the City Flew in from Melbourne, napped, then wandered downtown. Ate delicious Vietnamese pho & La Pizza 🤤. ⚠️ Avoid: Late-afternoon beach visits—low tide leaves it bare and muddy! 🔖 DAY 2️⃣: Magic Reef Day Trip! (The Highlight!) 1.5hr boat ride (🚨 Take seasickness pills!!!). Period Day 2? No problem! Painkillers + tampons = snorkeling success 🤿. Coral reefs + fish swarms = magical. Helicopter tour canceled due to clouds (super common—book flexibly!). 🍽️ Bonus: Decent onboard buffet + activities. 🔖 DAY 3️⃣: Skydiving Dreams… Dashed? Mission Beach jump canceled (clouds again 😭). Pivoted to city skydiving—still cloudy but thrilling! Palm Cove 🌴: Bus-accessible but gloomy weather = sad beach vibes. ⚠️ Truth: Cairns skydiving is weather-lottery—always have a backup plan! 🔖 DAY 4️⃣: Aquarium + Rusty’s Market Rain ruined rainforest plans ☔→ Cairns Aquarium ($$$ but surprisingly cool! Student discounts help.). Rusty’s Market (Fri-Sun only!): Yellow dragon fruit! Fresh juices! Felt like a local in my Crocs 😂. ✨ Final Thoughts No helicopter, no dream skydive, no rainforest… and my period tagged along. But—these "failures" made my trip raw and real. Cairns, you taught me to embrace the unplanned! Next stop, please~ 🌏✈️ #SoloFemaleTravel #StudyAbroadLife #TravelDiaries #CairnsAdventures #OffTheBeatenPath #UnexpectedJourneys #WanderlustVibes #SheExplores
