Solo Traveling – NOT Easy

While vacationing with your folks/friends/colleagues, you often think about hopping around at similar places alone, to do what you actually want to do. You don’t have a choice, at that given time, because you are in a group and you are supposed to do, what feels right mutually. But one thought has crossed each and every individual’s mind, more than once in their life time – to travel alone! To go solo to those hills and/or beaches, care less and feel more.

Care more about what you need, and feel less about other every other emotion/person!

But is it safe? We are not saying it’s impossible, we are asking you to be prepared for what you are about unfold, if solo-traveling is one thing, you wish to tick off from your list.

1)      Research and Understanding:

Even if Goa is all about clubbing, booze and beaches; do you really think, you will be able to survive there with no other support? It is important for an individual to understand, if he/she are going to travel alone, they need to know whereabouts of that place, before they land in. Understand the culture in that region, know about the situations or consequences you can be in, places to visit, things to-do, etc.

2)      Worrying About Being Lonely?

Often, when people are traveling in groups, they tend to miss out on places/people/things/elements which are more beautiful than those basic and legendary historical monuments. You can never be lonely, while traveling alone, because you have so much to do/see/feel, that you don’t get time to spare or rest. And that is why; people wish to travel alone – to find peace, solitude and to rediscover themselves.

3)      Only You Can Help Yourself:  

There can be plenty of situations and consequences of your doings, when you can be in need of someone, whom you can trust and show faith/confidence in. But you chose this way; in those times, you are expected to show your presence of mind, and be your own help. Life can take miserable turns, at any given time, it totally depends on how you wish to deal with them.

4)      Is It Easy? Would I Be Able To Do It?

If you have enough confidence and strong desires, to be where and how you wish to be at, then it is going to be easier for you. Everyone have their first times for everything, in their lives, it depends on how they learn and treat their mistakes and achievements. Being over confident is one huge mistake, one can commit.
