Travel Alone to Enjoy!
You are past the age and you have
done it all, road trip with friends’, crazy night out, school or college trip
to historical places, traveling in groups, etc. So now it is the perfect time
to do it alone for various good reasons which certainly not include Paulo
Coelho type shit like you discover your soul and what you are and similar crap.
No! Travel alone for few simple and practical reasons.
No Drama: You are old enough to not be
bothered by other people’s temperament, what he or she wants to do. You cannot
take this crap anymore of waiting, deciding on something, thinking what the
other person or persons want to do. You got to be on your own and decide what
you want to do and where you want to go.
Alone Time: You are always around
people, your family, friends and colleagues you really don’t care about. Now get
some time off and be alone, it is important to be alone and like the great
philosopher of our times Mr. Coelho said that some soul searching is necessary,
(ok I pandered there a bit). Never mind! It is and amazing feeling to be alone in
a new city and see what all you can manage by yourself without getting lost or
robbed maybe.
Meet or Hook up: Whenever you travel
alone you have a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends
(even if they last for one evening and ahem ahem for one night, what is the
harm). If you are not with your friends or family, you always make effort to
reach out to other people and also realize how people are wonderful and more
than ready to help. Recently while I was traveling in Jaipur alone, I made
friends with an American woman and a French guy, we happened to share a table
for lunch. What followed was an amazing conversation where we shared our
traveling experiences and some wonderful stories. You see what I mean; no one
really is a stranger.
Freedom: Eat whatever you feel like, no
boring museums (I love museums) or touristy stuff you are forced to do, take as
much time as you want to do whatever you are doing no one is waiting for you…yay!!!
No Plans: Randomness is the word friends!
No plans, no schedule, just stroll wherever you like, live wherever you want
and yes it saves a lot on your budget.
The only slight problem will be
that who will take your picture but you can take a selfie or ask a cute
guy/girl next to you to take a picture for you. And I am not giving you any
caveats or safety tips, I said before you are old enough, probably smart enough
and definitely can figure all that out!
