I have been asked several time: Don't you get lonely taking solo tours? Didn't you wish you had someone by your side during the tours? And my answer remains the same: No!
Solo travels can get lonely and there are moments where I wished I had someone special to share these moments with. Yet, I can't help but think about how these trip I took alone were my most favorite experiences, over the ones I have traveled with others or a group of friends.
The first time I decided to travel solo was not something I wanted, but because I couldn't find anyone who was willing to commit the time or money to travel with me. It then struck me that if I kept waiting for someone to travel with, then I would be missing out on so many great opportunities and experiences.
The things is if you find yourself without a travel companion, for whatever reason, don’t be afraid to take that dream trip by yourself. There are many joys and advantages to travelling solo.
YOU SET THE ITINERARY
When you travel alone, the only person you must be worried about is YOU! You set the plan.
MEET NEW PEOPLE
If you're an Introvert, like me, travelling can force you to come out of your shell. When you don't have a travel companion to focus your attention on, you are more open to meeting new people. Starting a talk with other travelers can lead to a very enriching vacation, as they always love to make recommendation of places and it always ends up that you're planning your next vacation there.
DISCOVER NEW CONFIDENCE
Travelling alone is a great way to boost your self esteem. You, and you alone, are responsible for navigating a new country, culture and language. There will most likely be a few bumps in the road. You will have to be the one who solves problem and overcomes those obstacles. By doing so, you will see just how capable you are!
So you see that traveling solo is always a win win situation for all. Reach out, follow your dreams and make a difference.
