Though travelling is a learning process, with some of the best experiences ever with the best companions, yet sometimes the best travel companion that you can have is yourself. Solo travel is a mania today which is in vogue, because of reasons efficient and pragmatic. When you travel solo, you get to have a liberating feeling wherein you are your boss, making decisions for yourself, which is finally rewarding in the end. Once you get the taste of solo travelling, it becomes an addiction. So what are the sweet joys of travelling solo and why is this trend picking up so fast today?
In the fast paced busy world of today, people barely get time for themselves, so taking time out for travel is a rather very complicated affair and as a result of this, travel plans get postponed or cancelled since it is very hard to coincide the schedule dates of everyone. Solo travelling is completely devoid of this problem since you are the sole deciding factor and planning the trip is easier and more convenient as per your ease. Just make your bucket list, pack your bags and get started on that journey of yours. As the journey begins you can plan your own itinerary and can also make any last minute changes if necessary. Having yourself as the priority during solo travel is a big advantage you can never have when you travel in groups. Whether you are an adventure kind of person or a nature lover or an urban town explorer, you can put your choices foremost and move on with it.
Going solo helps you have some time with yourself as well. The digital distractions and work load that you face every other day distances you from yourself and being lost in this hustling sphere needs to be worked upon. Going for solo travel helps you explore yourself and come in contact with yourself so that you rebound back to your real self and also find meaningful solutions to your troubles and problems that might otherwise exist.
If you are a social and extrovert type of person then you would love to travel solo for you get to meet new people and make new friends. And if the trip is to another country then it gets even more interesting for you get involved in conversation with the locals leading you to learn many things about their culture, heritage, language, etc. The list of your friends also gets longer and longer as you travel to new places and destinations. Travelling is always a learning experience and travelling solo definitely fulfils the thought.
The best thing that can happen to you if you travel solo is that you become a better ‘traveller’. Travelling solo teaches you all the things for you do it all alone and this adds to your ‘experience’ agenda. With every trip you make, you imbibe the zeal to plan for another one already and with this passion you get to live and learn.
