Why you should travel alone (at least once)

If sometimes you feel stuck in a moment of your life, traveling solo might be the adventure you should experience for once.

Of course, sharing moments with counterparts is amazingly great but I swear that wandering alone will teach you a lot about yourself. I experienced it twice (in New York and Valladolid) and I’ve always learnt tons of lessons about Life and felt much more energized after each trips.

How it will change your life : 

1 You become more open to meeting new people and more confident in social events

This is how you make new friends all over the world and be more open-minded. Yes, you’ll be practicing a new social language and it'll never get better than this !

2 You devote time for self-discovery

In your daily life, do you often feel overwhelmed because you pleased too much people and forget about yourself ? Well, planing some alone time to release pressure and end never-ending ‘to-do’ lists will make you feel great. Embrace your living and connect with your spiritual side.

3 You make your own schedule

Isn’t annoying when you need to wait for that one friend who sleeps all day to wake up or do some kind of activities you don’t really like ? By traveling solo, you go wherever you want, whenever you want. Enough said.

4 You become more confident 

It might be tough traveling alone but you’ll end up feeling more confident about your own abilities. You will be more comfortable in your own skin. A solo trip can give you a new sense of independence and show you just how capable you really are. You will grow mature from this experience.

5 You feel revitalized and more focused

You will feel in harmony with yourself. You take your time and enjoy what Life has to offer : either it is in Nature or in a buzzing City, the way you enjoy your environment will be intensified.

6 You are more inclined to go out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself

Life is challenging but sometimes, you need to push yourself because no one is going to help you except local people.  This gives you opportunities to grow and expand. Speak Spanish with locals, go skydiving, meet new friends ! Fear not, let’s be reckless :)

Go on with your next adventure and take the leap !
