The very thought of venturing
into a place all by yourself winces most of us! Often, we are used to travel
along with some companions may it be our friends or family but, really the
question strikes us back that is travelling alone really worth the shot? I
would say ‘Hell Yeah’!
Travelling alone or
backpacking does not need one to be audacious. Yes, for the first you might
find yourself leering, however once plumbed, you can be more comfortable. The
“lone exploring” comes as a brisk package of exploring, getting to know oneself
better, making new friendships and the most important freedom!
Taking into consideration
exploration, many of us are often stuck with the thought that would it be like
to just go somewhere, unplanned & surrender yourself to some unsung place.
By unsung place, I really do not mean that you get to the pith of some deserted
land, but some place that you have heard of & always had clinch to go. When
you travel alone, it is like Christmas has came way too early for you J You get to set your
own rules of what you want to do over there and how much time would you want to
stay at a place. There is like no second line of command, say for instance you do
not need to worry if someone else wants to stay a little longer at a place that
you do not really appreciate. You are not bound by any horizons of others, no
one to expedite & so on... for me
really that’s freedom.
Travelling alone bring the
level of euphoria all together at different levels. You get to know yourself
better! Being elaborative, when we travel alone, we unwind many of
unprecedented qualities which we might not be even aware that we posses! When I
took my first solo voyage, I discovered the immense joy that I found in
photography or trekking :P & from there it was all roses! The adventures
you have, the problems you tackle, the friendships you make! Truly, as it’s
said the journey is always the rewarding experience.
The most critical factor of
all is freedom! I am sure most of us are looking for the same, a break from our
tidy schedule, change from our stressed metro life! It’s a mundane, that we
travel with our pals and try to mollify things in our hectic life! However
travelling alone is all-together a rewarding and novel experience. The freedom
that we experience is all-together on a different scale! You can be most
carefree when your alone, won’t need to worry how he/she will think if do this
or that! You can be your own judge J
Guys, I hope honestly hope
that you give a shot out and I leave you with a banal but powerful quote “Once
the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be
happily infected until the end of my life”.
