One of the main purposes of trip is to gain experiences that allow us to grow and originate as individuals and it is prominent that habitancy trip the way that bests suits them at a single time. For example, I like to go on adventure holidays and this invariably includes a small group and expert guide, and I frequently partake in writing retreats around the world with like-minded people. However for me, the real joy of travelling has all the time been to take off on my own and just ‘see’ what comes along the way. Of policy this can sometimes be fraught with frustrations, difficulties and even dangers.
Advantages of travelling alone
Freedom
Most habitancy who trip alone generally cite free time as the great motivating factor: free time to please themselves, go where and when they want, change their plans on a whim when they hear about something that is a ‘must’ to see, and to accept spontaneous invitations by locals.
No compromises
This is associated with the old point. Even if travelling with one other person, be it friend, colleague, lover or spouse, there will all the time be some compromises required. Not everybody has the same interests or the same energy levels, some habitancy need to be emotionally supported all the time, others are apathetic, some have different attitudes to time. With solo travel, there is no peer pressure over finances, the unspoken need to divide up cafeteria bills equally, or guilt trips when you want to go off on your own for a while.
Meeting people
Travelling solo does not mean that you will all the time be alone. In fact, it allows you to meet more habitancy because other tourists and locals find an personel traveller more approachable than those in a tightly-knit group. Also, habitancy in groups have very minute need to reach out to others for communication. I have met more people, had more captivating conversations and invitations and made more long-term friends while eating alone in foreign restaurants or sitting alone at bars. But then I am gregarious. Travelling alone allows you to select the habitancy you wish to spend time with rather than having to face the day-after-day annoyances of the confident clowns and whingers found in any large group.
Discoveries
There is a real sense of discovery complex in travelling on your own, and that includes self-discovery. You don’t have to rely on an often ill-informed guide to lead you around on a leash, and there’s the surprise and thrill when you find something you weren’t expecting, like the time I became lost and ended up in a small Bavarian hamlet with a monastery that contained a library with tens of thousands of Medieval manuscripts. Travelling alone allows you to survey more about yourself as you overcome uncomplicated challenges such as missing a bus or boat and realizing there is no other for a day or a week. Then there is the sense of achievement when solving much more captivating problems like finding yourself lost in a strange town at midnight or running out of money on a holiday weekend with no Atm in sight and the banks closed.
Disadvantages of travelling alone
The single supplement
For those who like to stay in decent hotels, there is the unfair single supplement that can add thousands to the cost of your trip.
Lack of help
There is no one to watch your luggage while you go to the restrooms at airports or train stations, no one to help with persistent touts, no one to be there for you if you get sick or if you are being stalked or harassed by a considered male in the street.
Photos
There are times when I would like to have had more taken of myself in confident places, but there again, there are all the time habitancy willing to snap one or two for you.
I know there will be times in the time to come when I will trip as part of a group out of selection because I want to visit areas where it is just not potential or sensible for a woman alone, or because I wish to be with family or like-minded people. However, due to my single personality traits, my preference is to trip alone. I guess it unmistakably doesn’t matter how habitancy travel, but that they travel.
