8 reasons why solo trips are the best!

Ever dismissed a travel plan because a friend backed out or because you had simply no companion to travel? Well! How about you travel solo? Reminds me of Julia Roberts in the movie ‘Eat-Pray-Love’ based on real life of writer ‘Elizabeth Gilbert’. On a year’s sabbatical, she learns to let go off herself to live the simple pleasures of nourishment, spirituality, and love.

It may be a daunting thought if you have never done it before, but it sure will fan the latent wanderlust in you once you start! On a quest to travel the world, you might just rediscover your true self.

A liberating experience

Solo Trip

There is a sense of unparalleled freedom that solo trips bring along. You explore, enjoy, eat and sleep, all by yourself. Being wholly self-directed can emanate the confidence in you, preparing you to take challenges head-on. An open mind and ‘belief in discoveries’ can take you a long way to become a regular solo traveler.

Take the lane you want

Being dragged into an opera when you want to explore a nondescript lane in the interiors of the city. That certainly won’t happen on a solo trip. You can sit by the beach through the day or try out the quintessential local cuisine, there is no one stopping you. You can also choose to skip activities that you can’t relate to.

Discover yourself

This trip is your retreat from the rest of the world. It is like putting the phone off the hook for a while and loosening up to self. The riffraff and humdrum of social life knock off the possibility of delving deeper into thoughts and connecting with your native self. A solo trip could give you the luxury of being in a company of your thoughts, a notebook, pen, camera and experiences.

Make travel buddies on the way

Remember how mommy said ‘Don’t talk to strangers’ when you were leaving for a school picnic at the age of 5. Our parents and teachers conditioned us to stay away from the ‘unknown’. I say unlearn that learning. Talk to strangers, click pictures with them to break the ice, and slip into nightlong conversation with them. Befriend the locals and let them take you to their favorite hangouts. It will give you a peek into their lives and let you connect with people at a deeper level.

You can stick to budget

Solo Travel

When it comes to spending, everyone has a different limitation and attitude. You may have to spend a certain way under compulsion of a travel companion, which might later pinch your pocket. For example, when traveling abroad, you may want to give up a posh accommodation and settle for a home-style boutique living. Not sure how a travel companion may take this, if they have an expensive taste!

A better observer of life

Solo Travel

When traveling solo, you get more time to pay attention to little things that make people happy, foster the fabric of culture & values, and nurture families. It makes you a better observer of nature’s beauty, god’s creations, of what’s going on in and around, thus making you more curious and compassionate. It’ll give you a deeper learning into the nuances of life and living.

Travel Diaries

Since you are on your own, you can afford to spend some time in the day, reflecting on the trip, documenting your travels, writing down your experiences and pasting photos in a journal. Over the years, this journal will take you back in time, to get in the head of your younger self and to know how you saw the world then!

Never dismiss a travel plan

Once a solo traveler, more often a solo traveler. There’s no need to make concessions for others, or miss out on something you want to do because the group doesn’t want to. Whenever a travel idea strikes in your head, all you need is to pack your bags and set to go!
