First of all, I would like to define what Solo travelling means, It means you opt to travel on your own self relying upon a single person i.e "YOU"! You make your travel plans, pack your bags take the necessary stuff for you and you are good to Go. For sure taking a companion or travelling with a group seems safe, exciting and adventurous but the former one makes you meet your actual self. So now let’s unfold the reasons why solo travelling is a gift which every individual should give oneself, once in a life(Beware! You might be addicted to yourself).
Why People should travel solo?
1. You are the planner, You are the executor-: basically, when you travel alone you are the one who is planning for the resources, the things which you will be carrying and along with that you are the only one whom you are meant to care, you are free of hustle and tussle to carry people to move as per their wish , convince them and discussion, saving your energy and utilising it for exploring the place.
2. Turning Strangers into friends-:When you travel alone, high are the chances that you make new allies in this whole process, who were once completely unknown to you, When you visit a place alone you can meet locals whom you may empathise with or might meet a person who helped you at the trivial thing but you liked the gesture or personality because in this case you only do focus upon yourself and thus making connections with new people is easy as you are not indulged into others.
3. You meet a new YOU-: So when you are travelling solo, you are accountable to yourself for every comfort, every experience and every memory you provide to yourself! You will certainly realize in this whole process that you un-curtained a new aspect of your personality which is more responsible, more adventurous, more alert and at the same time more entertaining than you, who does not need anybody else to cater for himself or herself. The place you go to, that version you become like super-spiritual in spiritual places, super adventures in mountains and likewise with others, thus you meet a new person who is refined and more worthy!
4.Aids in your growth and pushes out of your comfort zone-: whenever you would travel solo, one thing is sure that you would be seeing a natural growth in yourself in terms of emotional balance, peace, activeness and better thinking this happens because you give yourself a chance to go out of your shell which always wanted a covering, security and comfort so that it never gets failure or negativity but it is just a mindset, whenever you get out of your comfort zone you get chance to explore and learn, this feeling is the best, as it feels you with freedom, confidence and passions which ultimately aids to your growth!
5. You create new memories and your own story-: I believe every picture which is captured in the way the photographer observed the place, and the same is with memories and stories created, When you travel solo your observations would be pious, unadulterated as it won't have the pinch of opinions of your companions, it really does matters! Visit a place solo and visit it with a group or your companion both the times you will have different thoughts, ideas and observations this happens because we somehow get carried away, So I believe one must picture the place with own camera and take the charge of photography, to show your photographic skills travelling solo, And who knows this is the best story of your life, you can narrate to people.
So if this point seems too lucrative to you, What are you waiting for? Pack your bags, Take charge and you are good to go on a trip with yourself!
P.S- I assume you are set with budgeting! Resources play a key role!!
