Solo travel is a great way to discover more about yourself, build your confidence and strengthen your ability to be independent. You can never predict the experiences you’re going to have or the people you’re going to meet. 

We get trapped in our every day bubble and comfort zone, and often forget the magic of going somewhere new and meeting people and seeing places and having experiences that make you feel alive and excited to do things, and work out for you in ways you didn’t predict.

Solo travel teaches you a lot that you can implement in your every day. How to talk to strangers and know what you enjoy doing and do it for yourself, provide for yourself, disciplined and organised. How to explore and have fun while doing it, how to feel loneliness and boredom and how that can be good for you. Self regulation, self resilience and decreased co dependent which is great for your everyday life and relationships. 

In my case it shows a lot of growth, as the first times alone are quite lonely and isolated, and as my confidence and mental health improved, so did the fun I had on the trips. And now I’m excited to go on another solo trip as I think my connection to others and mental health has improved even more so that now I'm excited to meet others and connect.
