LIFE WILL CHANGE WHEN YOU TRAVEL ALONE

Travelling by yourself means not being able to rely on anyone else to get the most out of your trips. It means you are left to navigate your place in the world, to embrace or shun the ever-changing call of the wild. No matter where you go and what you do, it will change you.

1. It’ll force you to be a problem solver - “You’ll learn to step up and tackle problems head on, using creativity and experience gained while doing the same on your solo travels.” – @guidocarol
   

2. It can improve your mental health - “For anybody out there reading this and struggling with mental health, I want you to know it’s worth pushing through the despair; fighting until you feel mentally strong enough to book that plane ticket of your own. Travel is, without a doubt, the fastest way you can grow as a human being and turn your life into an inspired one. My wonderful travel tales were made possible by taking charge of my mental health.” – Emily Mulligan
   

3. You will gain confidence when you travel alone - “Traveling alone can certainly be scary. But when you get to your destination, navigate the streets, find your hotel, make yourself understood despite a language barrier, and book a day tour all on your own in a foreign land, something starts to change. You suddenly realize you can do things on your own. Even something simple you do alone at home all the time takes a lot more effort abroad. When you accomplish the task, your confidence will start to soa.” - Ali Garland
   

4. You’ll catch the travel bug for life - “Once you step out and start exploring the world, you will want to see it all” – @garry_astle
   

5. It’ll teaches you independence -“It taught me to be happy in my own company and try things I would have always relied on other people to do for me. It made me grow as a person and become very independent. Only you know what makes you happy, spend some time on your own – it’s good for you!” – @wearekingingit
   

6. Eat where local eats. Learn the process of cooking from foreigns comfort foods.
   

7. You’ll find out that getting lost is amazing - “Getting lost is the most fantastic thing ever! So many adventures!” – @dakota_wilko
   

8. It’s a celebration of freedom - “You won’t want to take your eyes off the breath-taking views, and you won’t have to!” – @mackenziehjc
   

9. You’ll learn how to deal with the unknown - “Sometimes travelling alone, gives you the fear of the unknown without a person to support you or to be there if something happens. At the same time, you come back with a happy feeling that you made it and it gives you courage to do it more often.” – @jeffsantosbr
   

10. It’ll change your view of the world - “Women are sometimes intimidated by the idea but I say don’t be, for it has been one of the best experiences of my life. The people, the places and the memories will be the best souvenirs.” – @Sabrinatouristguide
    

Travelling solo can be both safe and rewarding, but be mindful of safety concerns just as you would travelling in a pair or group. Take care in large cities at night, watch your drinks, be aware of any local scams and keep a close eye on your valuables.
