The world is an adventure waiting for you to come to discover. Perhaps you travel alone because your friends can’t accompany you or because you enjoy moments of solitude that traveling in a group doesn’t offer.

It is a great idea to find Facebook Groups with ex-pats in the groups since they are already traveling and who is to say that you only are allowed one traveling partner. In this new age, you can check your new traveling partner’s profile and know something about them. See if they have gone to some of the same travel destinations as you. This can be an ice breaker.

We do caution, some type of restrain to the extent of your research on your traveling partner, you want to leave a little mystery for the trip.

The Pros and Cons of Solo Travel 

When multiple people are asked about their interests, a large percentage will put travel high on the list. Many people only consider traveling with someone else and do not prefer traveling alone. 

Traveling alone is a source of pride and joy. Here are some of the pros and cons of traveling alone.

Pro – Being able to Choose all the details of the trip. 

Nothing beats the feeling of being able to create the perfect vacation of your dreams. You travel alone, you can do what you want and avoid anything that you don't like. This is especially useful when you are short on time and money.

Going on vacation with a friend can mean a lot of commitments and time plus money spent on things you or they are not interested in. Travel alone for the ultimate self-centered time of exploration and adventure for 2021 is the right thing to do. 

Con- Safety Risks while on a solo journey 

One of the first things a person should often think of when they travel solo is safety. Remember that friend you left for this solo trip? If they were with you, then they could have been your wingman or girl, by keeping an eye on a compromising situation or keeping you safe from creepy individuals who may prey on single travelers. Thank you for Tech like Telegram or Whatsapp, which track your location just in case you need it.

This is something that most solo travelers have carefully considered. But thank god you have Reviewments to guide you.

Pro – Meeting new people on  your trip 

Traveling with a friend means you will always have someone to talk to. However, Traveling alone means you will be forced to make friends when you want to chat if you are not a people person. Sometimes traveling alone can be the ideal situation to get you out of your comfort zone and spice up your life. You never know if you will find Mr. or Ms. Right…  

Con – I don't have anyone to brainstorm with. 

Traveling takes a lot of planning and thinking. Traveling alone means that you devote a lot of time to planning this trip. When you are in the middle of your journey and have a travel partner, there are important decisions you can discuss before taking action. However, if you're like me, we need to brainstorm our ideas out loud, and since we are going solo on this one, we need something to bounce our ideas off of.

Therefore, we write down a list of what we consider a big choice and something we consider a no-brainer. This can give us time to consider our big choice ahead of time. And by then and through the course of your travel you have already leaned toward what you want to do.  

Pro – Take a Complete Break from Everyday Life 

Traveling alone gives you the opportunity to relax from the daily drama of everyday life. Yet if you travel with a partner, it is impossible to leave this behind completely, since most friends bring up the conversation of situations you rather leave behind just for this trip. And even more so if your friend is a social media post groupie, who needs to know what others are doing, instead of just enjoying and discovering the journey.

Unless of course, they are reading this post, which makes it okay. Let them slide this once.

Con – Not sharing can cost you more 

Sharing the cost of hotel rooms and the likes can save you more when traveling in groups.  When traveling alone, certain situations mean that you will pay almost twice what you would pay if you brought a travel companion with you. Take these additional financial costs into account when deciding whether to travel alone or with other people. 

Pro – Learning More About Yourself 

When we are with people we are comfortable with, we often fall into our usual type of way. Traveling alone forces you to learn, to consider, to explore, to defend, to love differently. Now Instead of asking your friend what they want to do next, you think about what you really want to do.

You will discover what you want to try and what you love enough to do it again.
