Travelling sometimes comes along like a dream, the places you wish to explore makes your heart skip a beat. In everyday busy life, we cherish these dreams to travel to adventurous places, to be in peace and lose ourselves in the serene wonders of the nature….. When comes to implementing the travel plan we prefer going with friends and families.

How about travelling all alone, where you are your best companion. Below are some amazing list of experiences that will happen to you if you travel alone…….

1. HOW ABOUT SELF REFLECTION?

Solo trips offer you space to evaluate all the big and little things in life/ The time and space that travelling solo offers you while going from one place or from town to town allows your mind to wander…. You can’t help but begin to think about your life, what you’ve done, what you want to achieve and what you’re grateful for, giving you a whole new perspective on life.

2. LIVE IN THE PRESENT :

When we travel with someone we can often get distracted by the beauty which surrounds us. It’s within those quiet moments such as enjoying a picnic by the Seine on a cool spring day that allows us to truly appreciate the world we live in.

3. GOES EASY ON BUDGET:

Avoid messy bills after a sumptuous meal, lending your money to your companion, splitting of the bills and so on, and so forth. Go solo, it makes all of these things easier and keep you in a peace of mind, when you are in your own company.

4. FALL IN LOVE, WITH SELF:

But what am I to do by myself? There’s a common belief that travelling on your own may be really boring, in reality, it’s quite the opposite.

It is a time in which you reconnect with yourself. How you spend your time defines you as a person, it’s as simple as knowing you prefer archeology museums to kayaking, minimalist coffee spots to cozy bistros, city skyscrapers for adventure or alpine tree towns. It’s all about getting to know more about who you are.

5. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, GET CONFIDENCE:

“Who is the kind of woman who goes and orders a glass of beer for herself? That’s the sign of a chic women, who’s confident on her own on getting things done. She doesn’t like be overruled. Think of yourself getting across Europe on your own? There would be N number of moments you be doubting yourself. Embarking on a solo excursion will give you a huge confidence boost along with the sense that you can do anything. The first step? Pick a place you’ve always to visit and just go.

6. FIND FRIENDS ACROSS THE WORLD:

You’d be surprised at how friendly other solo travelers, there’s a mutual feeling of we’re all in this together, so even the shiest person can acquire a friend or two over the course of a trip.

You can bump into new friendships while admiring the mighty Thames River or on the coach to Versailles Palace. Sharing those kinds of moments together can have a profound effect before you even get to know each other.

7. YOU ARE YOUR OWN GENIE:

A big perk of a solo trip. You have the choice to just go with the flow or stick to a strict itinerary. Do whatever tickles your fancy, that could be eating like a multiple layered pizza in Italy (which no one can blame you for), maybe you want to spend an extra night at Champs Elysees? Keep it to your own ways.

8. PLANNING MASTER, AHAN!

Travelling alone also means you don’t have anyone else to rely on for train times or basic information, but the time you spend researching the travel times between accommodation and bus station, which route is the quickest. This skill transitions into other fields of life, you’ll find yourself managing your time better both professionally and personally while having a better idea of what is and isn’t worth your time.

9. YOU DID IT, ALL ALONE:

Your profound sense of independence and wanderlust will have you keeping an eye for travel deals, leave you willing to get out of your comfort zone a whole lot more!
