Ever since my first solo adventure, I have always been an advocate of encouraging others to have a try. It has hands down offered me the best experiences of my life.<br/>Travelers who go on solo adventures talk about how energetic they feel when they return from a trip. 16.__1__Solo travel represents freedom, independence, and of course wanderlust. It also allows you to create your own schedule of everything you want to do, including when and how you want to do it!<br/>17.__2__But I don’t think of going solo as brave because if you plan properly, you will be ready for whatever comes your way. The more research you do on a destination, the better prepared you will be to handle anything. 18.__3__For example, if you’re entering the unknown, it will offer opportunities to learn how to face various types of situations.<br/>I think there is a misunderstanding that solo travel means you’re always alone. While some prefer to be alone, you can also make new friends on your journey. 19.__4__It will throw you into social settings and opportunities to get to know others and other cultures.<br/>I know there are people out there who say they aren’t interested in solo travel because they’d rather go with someone they know. 20.__5__I like traveling with friends too. However, the world is just too big to have to wait around for someone to go with you every time you want to go on an adventure.<br/>So, the next time you become inspired to go on a trip, and you can’t find a friend to go with, do yourself a favor and book it but remember that safety should always come first!
