I totally agree. I just started travelling on my own (last summer) and at the beginning I was a little scared at the idea but 2 days in I was already the happiest person on the planet. There are lots of reasons to travel alone, as you mentioned, you make your own timetable, you can follow all your interests without compromising anything, you have time for soul searching, you get to come out of your shell and talk with many like minded people, you have experiences that you couldnt have if you were in a group, also you have to do everything yourself, there is no one to help you manage tickets, money and you learn a great amount of new things that will give you amazing confidence and a feeling you can really rely on yourself. I am not saying that group travel is not fun, it can be, but after having travelled for three weeks accross Thailand and Malaysia alone, all I can think about is when I can do it again, for longer. (July 2017 - August 2017) :)
Thanks for sharing! And congrats! This is the comment of the week! (th-cam.com/video/DU7co2LFSYY/w-d-xo.html) Reach out to me with your address on Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram and you'll receive a postcard.
Thanks so much for this informative and inspiring video! I enjoyed it and learned very much from it, too. Having vacationed solo in Paris and Rome, I can say that solo travel can help open doors to other facets of your personality you didn't know existed. It can help you become artistic, more confident, more resourceful, and more self-reliant...and your memories that stem from your solo travels become epic stories and ideas.
Thanks a lot for your sharing, I definitely agree with you! May be the core meanings of solo traveling are finding yourself, staying alone, making new friends through the trip in foreign countries. PS: never miss the Nepal in your SE Asia travel.
Hi JP, I really enjoyed your video, and could totally relate! I went traveling solo in 2016 solo, I went to Burning Man, San Francisco and México and I would not have had the amazing experiences, met life long friends found true love for the first time, if I had of been having to negotiate my schedule or at worst baby sit a co-traveller! I definitely wasn't lonely, burning man, hostels and a group tour in the middle, and with tech I was always connected to home (even when I didn't want to be!). My next big adventure will be moving to México or Colombia to teach English for at least a few years, so it should be quite an adventure- I really have to work on my Spanish!!
Thanks so much for sharing! Looks like you've had an incredible journey as a solo traveler. Keep exploring! Let me know how the teaching goes. Spanish is easy to learn with practice!
I knew you was gay. I guess cause I am to...so I just could figure it out. solo seems like you are your own boss, but you always welcome here in Texas if u passing threw. (stop to visit) how do u manage any fears/anxity?... especially knowing people might treat u different if they feel u are gay (sadly there is a lot of homophobic people in the world and if u "seem" gay people may and do treat u different...how do u overcome your fears? have u had any bad comfortations over being gay and homophobia???? love u bro! peace 😎
