Why You Should Ditch Your Friends This Summer Vacation & Travel Solo?

So why not do something exceptional this summer and book yourself a ticket! Your friends aren’t going anywhere or who knows, they’re thinking the same.

Experience True Freedom

Weekends and nights are recess for adulthood and you might get caught in the routine easily. Unwinding with your friends, co-workers and family somehow blends in with the cycle. But when travelling solo, the abrupt routine change may be disturbing to a few while pure pleasure for the rest.
Being surrounded by familiar objects and people usually makes us forget about the little things such as who we are, where we come from and our true needs! Travelling alone fosters confidence and reminds us the potential to imagine and perhaps do all the silly things you wished during childhood. These are the moments when one would experience true freedom.

Make New, Foreign Friends

Perhaps the most ironic factor of solo vacation is about being alone and in a totally different environment. There might be thousands of hobos doing the same thing and are longing for your company. Now is the time to throw social stigmas out the window and night out with a stranger who maybe planning an excursion to Barcelona or any other amazing place. You’ll learn to realise that world is still full of good people; you just need to find them!

You’ll save Finances

It’s not that you become a scrooge, travelling alone for once means there’s only one person you should be worried about, and that’s you. There’s no need to coordinate schedules and kept on altering the plans, choose an appropriate flight time and lift off. Keep a lookout for last chance seats and you’ll eventually get a heavy discount with added benefits like, accommodation or rent-a-car package. No more splitting checks or paying extra over a museum tour. Indeed, solo travel is quite economical!

A Boost in Your Resume’

Employers usually seek self-motivated, flexible and confident candidates who’ve no trouble when it comes to attend foreign business meeting. Travel not only inspires creativity but it further injects adaptability and analytical skills. Time management, decision making, flexibility, problem solving and planning are a few excellent buzzwords for your resume’ as well as LinkedIn profile.

Expand Your Social Circle

Solo travellers look, well kind of unique when compared to group tourists. A foreign group is likely to remain a prime target for inflated price and hassle since they’re not too much familiar with the surrounding. Lone tourists are at an advantage since they can easily mingle with the commoners while a merchant is unlikely to waste time hassle with a singleton. Who knows you extend your trip just because vendors provide you special discount over different commodities.

Whenever you wish to explore the best tourist destinations around the world, traveling alone is an excellent choice.
