Many lovers of travel have travelled the world completely alone, without friends or family members to keep them company. However, to some, the idea of travelling alone still seems completely scary for several reasons. Some are afraid of getting robbed, some have doubts whether they will be make their way in a foreign country, and some simply do not wish to spend time alone. Find out why travelling alone can be a good idea and what are the advantages of solo travel in our blog.

YOU WILL BE YOUR OWN BOSS

During group travels, it is often hard to settle on a travel itinerary. It is difficult to satisfy everyone’s needs, and this task becomes even more difficult when there are more people involved. So you will oftentimes have to compromise, overlook your needs, and finish the trip without having seen the one place you wanted to see. Therefore, solo trips can be a perfect opportunity to be your own boss. You make the travel plans, which means that you can visit and sightsee any place you want, and sometimes you can simply stay in your room and watch TV. You decide!

YOU SAVE MONEY

When you travel alone, there are no unexpected costs. It is much easier to track how much and where you are spending your money. During group trips, it will often happen that one of your travel companions will want to eat dinner in a new restaurant or go to a museum that you do not find very interesting. When you are making your travel plan, you are also planning your finances for the trip, which is another advantage of travelling alone.

A CHANCE FOR A PROPER VACATION

Group travels can be fun. You make memories together with the group, you have fun together, and you are never alone. But that can become tiring at some point. Even during vacation, we need some time alone to think and relax. Solo trips can be a perfect opportunity for a proper vacation. Use your smartphones and other devices less, read a book, and just surrender to the atmosphere of the current place and culture. Of course, it is okay to sometimes check in on your family and friends, or check your social media, but it is very important to have time for yourself.

WORKING ON YOURSELF

A solo trip is also great for working on yourself. If you are learning a new language, for example, travelling to the speaking area of that language can be the perfect chance to improve your language skills. Additionally, exploring foreign countries and cultures can be great for getting to know yourself and getting out of your comfort zone.

MAKING NEW FRIENDSHIPS

Groups of tourists can seem scary or irritating to locals. Therefore, while travelling by yourself, you will be able to meet more new people, and maybe make new friendships. Many solo travellers made lifelong friends in this way, and it has often happened that they found new business opportunities.
