What about traveling by yourself?


Traveling alone is a doubtful topic. Most of us have thought at least once about a trip by yourself. These fleeting thoughts are easily replaced with other ones in the dialogue with yourself because our mind faces some real and illusory obstacles. Let’s define these obstacles to see what prevents us from traveling alone. Maybe you will reconsider them and finally decide to travel with no companion.

1. Unhappy crew

Socializing is vital for every human being. We want to share our most memorable experiences with our friends and family. The experiences may be both fun and stressful; furthermore, people behave differently in their comfort zone and in a new ambience. Consider the simple facts like chronic illnesses, daily routines, and tastes. As an example, my ex would look for organic color systems salons for her hair maintenance. The question is whether you go on with the distractors or not. You won’t find a hair salon in the mountains. Some medicines may be restricted in certain countries. Just remember that consideration is the key.

2. Sharing expenses

Some people are absolutely bad at planning budgets, while some make it easily. If you struggle to share the expenses, try planning out your own limited budget and travel by yourself. If you find having no possible financial support terrifying, you should learn the skill of proper planning and foresee the unexpected expenses. Otherwise, traveling in groups is the best way you can broaden your horizons.

3. Experienced vs. beginner

Experienced travelers are good at coping with unexpected issues, finding the best accommodations, choosing the right insurance, etc. Beginner travelers feel a lack of confidence when thinking of traveling alone. It is better to travel with someone while gaining the necessary traveling experience. Planning and formal activities will become a habit; things will get much easier to do. Therefore, you will focus more on the sights and activities, which leads to positive memories. When you obtain the skill, traveling alone will provide as many positive impressions as if you travel in a group.

Don’t try to suit someone’s expectations and never try to avoid somebody’s prejudice. Traveling alone is absolutely okay and lets you experience something extraordinary.

Travel Diary: Sanjay Gandhi National Park

The Sanjay Gandhi National Park or Borivali Park whatever you wanna call it, is one of the most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries in the world. All because, it is spread across over 104 sq. km. and also because it  is the only park in the world located completely within a city limits, which is also rich in biodiversity.   To most Mumbaikars like me, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) brings back the old memories of our childhood when our parents would take us to the park on a Sunday for a jungle safari or just an excursion to the famed Kanheri Caves (Note: they are around 2400 years old!) and not to forget those amazing school picnics. Alas, as I've grown up to be a teen, and through these years, places such as these have only remained confined to my memories. A visit to the National Park on a Tuesday, as part of my college's Environmental Visit, was to me as much about going back and living those memories again. It was about exploring the lesser known areas of the pa...

Flights made pleasant

Flying is the best or, sometimes, the only way to travel long distances efficiently. Although people are mostly aware of the fact that planes are less dangerous than cars, the pre-flight jitters occur, especially among people who fly rarely. Those jitters make people both physically and mentally exhausted, which affects the further trip negatively. Nevertheless, any flight is just one of the means we use to reach our destination, which is as easy and conventional as attending NYC barbershops for the NY citizens. 1. Double check Before we go to the mental and physical parts, make sure you always double check your luggage and personal stuff. Think of the essential things you may forget like your wallet, medications, insurance, or the foreign currency. A proper check will let you chill and get to the airport with no stressful concerns. 2. Preparations You are anticipating environmental changes, which makes you feel stress. Therefore, you should follow the most conventional daily r...
