It’s basically a good idea to travel alone at least once in a while. But, like a friend I usually meet at his corporate office once said, having a travel companion improves the overall experience. Here are some of the reasons why you should avoid traveling alone.
Solo travels get really boring sometimes
While traveling, you will spend much time sitting patiently in a plane, bus, train, or boat. You definitely need someone to talk to a time like this. You need a companion that speaks your language and understands you and your reasons for traveling. You will most likely not get bored with a companion you can talk to about anything.
Confidence when meeting new people
When traveling with a companion, you won’t be afraid to meet new people. Basically, you will have confidence and a better experience when meeting new people with a travel partner than when you meet strangers alone.
Collaborative effort
You are likely to encounter more challenges and struggle to solve problems when you travel alone than when you travel with a companion. Such challenges are likely to hinder you from traveling efficiently.
Photography challenges
When you travel alone, you won’t have someone to take a photo of you and the surrounding. That means you won’t feature in majority of your pictures. But, when you travel with a buddy, you will definitely have someone to capture special and quick moments during the trip.
It’s a bad world
You don’t want to find yourself at a remote location in a foreign country alone when the sun sets. Many touristy places are full of tricksters, honey pots, and charlatans whose goal is to get your wallet. Majority of these will easily take advantage of the fact that you are traveling alone. To avoid this, it’s reasonable to have a travel partner.
Basically, there is power in numbers when it comes to traveling. Therefore, if you plan to travel to a place that you have not visited before make sure that you have a travel partner.
