Only those who have traveled alone in the past can truly understand the joy of such an experience. It is as if something in you opens up, something that you never knew existed within you. If you are yet to take the leap, then here are some good reasons to go ahead and try traveling alone.
1. It is cheaper
Needless to say, going in a group is far more expensive that traveling alone. Right from plane tickets, to accommodation cost, to dining expenses, everything will be right in your budget if you are a lone traveler. Also, you need not necessarily make prior reservations in terms of accommodation when you are traveling alone because it would not be that big a hassle.
2. It lets you explore more
There are many places at every destination which you might not get to explore if you are traveling in a group. If you have elders in your group then you would think twice before trying something too adventurous. Your choice of destination would also depend a lot on the kind of people you are traveling with. When you are alone, you can just wander around to your heart’s content. You are not answerable to anyone and there is no one to question where you are going.
3. It is more liberating
You need not put everything to a vote when you are traveling alone. You can choose the destination that you want to explore, you can choose the kind of music you want in your car, you get to eat all that YOU want to eat, and basically you get to spend the entire time on your own terms. This will help you give some undivided attention to what you like or dislike as an individual.
4. It can be enlightening
When you are traveling alone, you get to spend some days alone with your thoughts. You get to introspect and find answers to some questions that have been bothering you. Achieving such a meditative state is not possible when you are traveling with others because you will be constantly talking or paying attention to them. Traveling alone can truly bring you closer to your own self in more ways than you can imagine.
