Solo travel, its a thing.
It’s definitely a thing. While I love the traditional ways of adventuring I have become fond of something that takes guts, solo travelling. And, while I’m no expert, I have become somewhat of an advocate of hyping others to do the same. Here are some rawmusings that I hope will inspire others to do the same!
Freedom
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going in groups to travel. However, if like me you love to enjoy and embrace moments of your adventures then this is one of many reasons you should do it. You have the ultimate freedom to do as you wish, walk your own pace and indulge in any decision you make because, only one person needs to make choices and that is you!
Make new friendships
It’s hard at first but it becomes the best part. You can make new friends with people from towns and places you’ve never heard of. And even better, your networking of people around the world expands and before you know it, You’re visiting your new friends in their local homeland.
Self-Discovery
I found out how I really liked my eggs when I went solo travelling. Isn’t that just ridiculously cool!? More then this is the opportunity for you to know the real you. Without the presence of others you learn to push yourself past your fears. And in moments of solitude you embark on an eye opening journey that you’ll never regret.
Eating alone
Put down your smart phones and enjoy your meal. In my first few trips it was evident that I had a habit of scrolling and eating my food. Don’t do it. An advantage of eating in a local place is learning about the culture and its delicacies. It sparks conversations and in no time you’ll being learning intimate facts about your choice of travel!
Solo travelling still requires planning and budgeting. Although it can be daunting, it’ll be the best adventure you’ll ever do for yourself, trust me. Happy Travelling!
