Why Everyone Should Travel Solo at Least Once in Their Life

Solo travel is one of the most rewarding experiences. It is liberating to travel without considering anyone else’s opinions or preferences. More importantly, embracing the discomfort of doing everything yourself teaches us much about who we are and our capabilities. Traveling alone means we are forced to have conversations with strangers and figure out the way back to the hotel on our own. Traveling alone is eating in a cafe without company and learning to be comfortable spending time with ourselves. It’s moments of quiet and solitude, and plenty of space to dive into our thoughts. It’s learning who we are without the familiarity of people we know around us.
