Your choice for travel alone or group: state your reasons by listing advantages and disadvantages.

Traveling alone offers us the freedom in making decisions and explore destinations on our own. We can see our own personal interest without considering other's preferences. It also boost our confidence and make it independent because we don't depend on anyone and can go anywhere anytime we want. However, it may lead to loneliness and isolation especially during meals and activities that require a friend to enjoy it fully.

On the other hand, group travel provides companionship and shared experiences with beautiful together memories that lasts more than solo travel. It let you divide the responsibilities and costs that make a journey affordable and easy. Moreover, traveling in group enhance security and provide sense of safety from potential risks.

My Friend Captured The Moment

As the question is about my choice, so I will choose group travel because I am a person who always do work in group because I think doing a work alone or traveling alone is just a waste. You can make beautiful memories that lasts longer. How can you tell your friends that you go there and you all can remember moments if you were just alone there. So I think travel in group is best and I will choose it. Let me list some advantages and disadvantages of group travel as well.

Advantages Disadvantages
Shared experience and memories. Conflict in interests maybe.
Cost affective for transportation, accommodation and others. Limited flexibility in decision-making.
Enhance safety and sense of security. Less privacy and personal space.
Access to multiple group deals and discounts. Dependency on group for overall enjoyment.
The difference you experience on general costs by traveling in these modalities.

Traveling in solo, you have control over your spendings. You can choose budget-friendly options for accommodation, meals, and activities that suits your preferences and financial situation. However, there are things like transportation where you end up paying more as you dont have any person to split the cost. Moreover, solo travels might have to pay more for safety measurements.

On the other hand, group travel often leads to cost savings. In group we all share accommodation, transportation, and other safety expenses. Moreover, there are deals and discounts for meals, attraction points and activities that further reduce the cost on single person. However, you may have less control over where your money goes as decisions are not based on solo but still if you are tight on budget then group travel can save you.

For the case for going in group: which people would you like to take with you in the trip? Alone: which activities will you do?

As I choose group trip, I would prefer to bring along my friends or family members. First I will go with my friends to have some knowledge of that place and then I will take my family members with me. I will choose my 4 university friends with me because with them I feel comfortable and we always divide costs. I remember last time we go out of our city to a restaurant and we all divide the petrol, meal and other things costs.

On the other hand if I travel alone which is not possible, I will engage in not risky activities and will involve in less activities. I will only enjoy the beautiful scene like if I go to mountains side or green places, I will feel it enjoy it. But still I am unable to answer much about it as I prefer group travel. So traveling alone is not my choice.

As recommendations: What are the best spots for you to travel in group/alone?

For group travel in my country Pakistan, I will choose some best spots including Lahore, Islamabad, and Northern Areas like Gilgit Baltistan, Hunza, Swat Valley, Naran-Kaghan Valley, Neelum Valley etc. There we can explore the historical landmarks, markets, and beautiful mountains with green scenes together with my friends or family members. The most desired place of me and my friends are Hunza Valley, lakes of Skardu, lush valleys of Swat, and beautiful Kashmir.

These places are very beautiful but unfortunately, I never got a chance to visit them in my life. But soon I will go there with my friends and family members to enjoy sightseeing, camping and trekking. As I don't want to go alone so I have not decided or in my mind to choose any best spot for solo travel.

Thank you for detail review 💕 💕

Yes I accept that all the things you had shared and the main thing is budget friendly is more important in traveling. We can enjoy the day with friends is really awesome and give us more understanding and memories with us.

For elite class budget is not that important. But for us middle class people we have to look our budget. Furthermore with friends trips become memorable so it is win win thing.

Hey write me down, I also want to travel in a group haha, it is synonymous of fun even if you know there are always those who put the cake and spoil the good time because that is fixed haha but it is those good, bad, annoying, funny experiences that make travel unforgettable.

Group travel is also my choice. Just like the pros implies, our safety is guarantee, save cost and I have more fun during this time. When in group, it gives us more time to explore, enjoy as much fun as possible. Solo trip somehow boring and since it's solo, a lot of things might be a restriction. I enjoyed reading your entry. Success to you!

Greetings friend @chasad75,
You have made a very good argument about solo and group travel. It is true that in group travel we can enjoy any benefits including our safety.

But in case of solo travel there is a lot of uncertainty or confusion in making any decision. So I myself prefer group travel. It makes me feel comfortable and safe.

Thank you very much for your great participation in the contest. I wish you good luck for this competition.

Saya sudah membaca postingan anda, dan anda mengambil keputusan yang sangat berlian, dengan anda memilih ubtuk pergi bersama teman-teman atau keluarga anda untukbepergian.

Tapi berbeda dengan pendapat saya di poin yang ke 2,karena menurut saya lebih hemat jika kita pergi sendiri, daripada pergi kelompok. Contoh jika kita naik transport maka kita harus membayar lebih banyak daripada kita pergi sendiri. Kecuali walupun kita pergi kelompok tapi mereka membayarnya sendiri.

Dan di poin yang ke tiga saya setuju dengan anda. Karena kita memilih teman untuk bepergian yang nyaman, seperti yang anda katakan di atas.

Terimakasih sudah berbagi pengalaman anda kepada kami semua di sini, dan terima kasih sudah mengikuti kontes ini dan semoga sukses dalam kompetisi minggu ini temanku.


Hello dear friend, @chasad75


  • You are right that traveling alone has the most freedom. And one can go according to one's will very easily without depending on anyone. But when it comes to group travel we all have to go with advice where there is not much personal freedom. But I can say that traveling in groups is the most profitable. Because the amount of money spent on traveling in a group can be shared among the members of the group. Along with that much more joy can be enjoyed with everyone. You have shared many beautiful moments with friends in your post, some of which we share and I love each and every one of them. It looks like you guys have a great bond that I believe will lead to a better place in the future.

Best regards from @robin42

Your choice of exploring Lahore, Islamabad, and the scenic Northern Areas with friends and family sounds delightful. Best of luck with your future travels! 👍🌍

Greetings dear friend,

Thank you very much for presenting us with a beautiful post.

Honestly bro solo travel is also perfect for some people, it may be mental discomfort and it may be feeling lonely, it totally depends on his mentality, but anyway you have analyzed very well and you can understand by looking at your pictures. I was able to travel in a group Nice and pleasant to you, also you told us about different places in Pakistan which is good to know, good luck to you.

Yes both travels are good. And I totally agree with you on it depends on mentality of someone. Maybe someone loves to travel alone because he/she can afford and dont want to compromise on decisions.

However, thank you for your comment brother :)

You have beautifully addressed trip both with friends and alone. You say traveling alone offers us the freedom in making decisions and explore destinations on our own. Yes very true. You also claim that group travel provides companionship and shared experiences with beautiful memories together that lasts more than solo travel. yes friend you are completely right in that.

I pray for your success in the contest.

Saludos amigo
Viajar solo tienes su gran ventaja y es la oportunidad de conocernos nosotros mismos y meditar en ciertas cosa
Ciertamente cuando viajamos en grupo vel viaje es aún más placentero y se disfruta más.apsrte que los gastos son divididos y cada quien lleva algo para comer y compartir
Me alegra leerte

Sí, viajar en grupo tiene muchos beneficios. Creo que no importa si tienes dinero más que suficiente para viajar solo, viajar con amigos es lo mejor. Siempre hago recorridos cortos dentro o fuera de la ciudad y llevo a mis amigos conmigo.
Gracias por leer mi publicación :)

Wow. I'm happy reading from you sir.

Travel alone posses a major security reason which is inevitable. Well sometimes the intensions for travel alone may be strictly personal.

Group travel give sense of humor. Vibes and long lasting memories . I love to see you enjoy with friends as this is more than a bond already

Thanks you for your entry

Thank you for reading my post. Yes group travel is good choice and with friends it becomes best memory of our life that we can't forget. :)

Hello friend

You shared how much travelling alone can bring a joyful moment where you have to choose preference of where to travel without looking or considering the preference of your friends. You have the joy to travel where you want and how you want. You stressed that you feel lonely in crucial times when you need family time such as eating time as you eat alone instead of with family. I enjoyed your entry and success in the challenge my dear friend

Thank you friend for reading my post and sharing your view. Yes group travel is what I love most because it is best for me :)

Hey bro, nice to see you here again, is nice meeting you here today. How are you doing both on steemit and off steemit?

Yh everyone always want to spend quality time with family and this is very important as well. I wish you good luck.

I completely agree with you. Choosing to travel in a group is a fantastic decision. Doing things alone can sometimes feel a bit lonely and, let's be honest, it's more fun to share experiences with friends. When you travel in a group, you create beautiful memories that last a lifetime. Imagine going to an amazing place and being able to tell your friends, "Hey, remember when we went there together?" It's those shared moments that make the journey even more special. Plus, traveling in a group means you have built-in company and support along the way. You can laugh, explore, and create amazing memories together. So, without a doubt, group travel is the way to go.

Thank you for visiting my post and leaving your comment. Yes traveling alone is not so good in my view. Traveling in group is what I love the most.

Hello friend

Traveling in a group is very cost effective. Because the cost can be shared with the team members.

See traveling is a personal thing of a person. I think if a person travels of his own will it will be very enjoyable no matter where it is.

I love travelling in group most especially with my family and not my friends. I wish you good luck in this engagement challenge.

Yes you said right traveling alone or in a group is one self's choice. I feel good to go out with friends so I choose it . Thank you for your comment :)

Traveling offers so much peace and joy to us once we engage in it either as an individual or a group. Traveling gives you the opportunity to choose your destination, activities and manage your budget too. Group bring more fun, companionship and experiences. I always enjoy traveling in a group a lot. Do take a time to travel to enjoy the fun in it.

Thanks for sharing with us and good luck in the contest

Thank you for reading my post. Yes traveling offers peace and joy no matter we go individual or in a group. I prefer to go with my friends because it makes me happy and peaceful. :)
