Solo travel is the ultimate in self-Indulgence; you get to relax whenever you feel like and pour it all on when you’re feeling adventurous. Another advantage is your mistakes aren’t your fault, and all your successes all the more fun. On the whole, there’s no worrying that your insistence upon trekking across town to an open museum which hadn’t been open for days ruined your spouse or day; it’s your day to chalk it up to an educational experience or learn from your mistake. Even if it’s only one step, you’ve beaten the stress and the miles; it s such a relief!
Another perk of solo travel is the freedom it affords to travelers who would otherwise be confined to staying in self-catering accommodations or going with tour groups. It gives them an opportunity to experience the local culture and food, without the interlacing of tourists and locals that often surround such excursions. You have complete control over your itinerary and can even decide whether to stay in the city or travel to its many outlying villages. If you prefer to pack light, you’ll find that living by yourself on a travel budget is as easy as going on a budget tour. Solo travelers can even choose to explore the local markets in the countryside, since they won’t be sharing a room with a number of other tourists.
Solo travelers will also be able to get more personal with their vacation, because they won t be sharing the hotel or accommodations with other people. As far as culture is concerned, travelers who are traveling alone have a unique opportunity to see and experience the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the local area. This is also the perfect way to get to know someone’s family history or find out more about a place you’ve never been to before. With a little planning, traveling alone can be a truly memorable experience that you’ll be eager to repeat.
