Traveling Solo

Travelling solo is, for many, still a scary concept. However, the benefits to travelling by yourself are numerous. You make your own plans, eat whatever you want, stay longer or leave sooner, talk to the people you like, etc. But there is more: travelling solo can have a positive impact on your personality as well. You can grow as a person, learn more about yourself and return a happier person. Travelling alone means having the ultimate freedom to do whatever you want (within the boundaries of the law, of course). Who has never had an argument with his/her travelling partner because you have different opinions on how to fill in your travel itinerary? Travelling solo means doing whatever you want, whether you want to plan everything out or set out spontaneously. Go find yourself', we have all heard the cliché, but how can you actually do it? We should rephrase the statement from 'go find yourself' to 'go discover your independence' because that is what you are actually doing. The feeling of accomplishment derived from successfully completing your first solo trip is hard to match.
