• Although not many people would brave it, but
  travelling solo can be really worthwhile, whether
  it is a short trip close to home or something
  grand like a trip around the world. You can
  always learn a few lessons and discover a number
  of new things about yourself. It is intimidating
  yet exhilarating to find yourself in new
  surroundings, amongst new people and new
  cultures. Furthermore, the power and freedom to
  make your own decisions and thinking only about
  yourself can help you experience the true
  independence.
• Listed below are 5 wise lessons you can learn
  while you curb your wanderlust alone.

3
You Learn To Enjoy Your Company

• When you travel alone, you are responsible and
  answerable only to your own self. There is no one
  else to look after and though it may sound
  lonely, you have to take the responsibility of
  your own actions as well. On the other hand, this
  is the time to really enjoy your own company. You
  dont need to worry what others are thinking and
  there are no social norms that you have to stick
  with either.

• Without offending anyone else, this is the time
  when you can do whatever you want to do, whenever
  you want to and however you decide to do it. You
  can stay at any affordable hotel which is within
  your budgets without thinking about too many
  amenities and comfort that you would need
  otherwise in the company of friends or family.
  You can have any type of meals according to your
  own choice and many other things as well.

Experience New Culture and Make New
Friends

• One of the most wise lessons you can learn from
  travelling solo is acceptance. Acceptance of new
  culture and in the whole process acquiring new
  friends along the way helps us open up to people
  and break away from the static mold we tend to
  set in our regular lives.

6
Actually Detach Yourself

• If you ask any seasoned solo traveler, he/she
  will tell you that it is important to actually
  detach yourself from the influences of near and
  dear ones. The key is to keep away completely
  from social media and stop posting minute by
  minute update and pictures of your travel. It is
  a time to understand yourself and your own
  thought processes, whether you are having an
  adventure in the woods, hiking in the mountains,
  lazing around on a sunny beach or simply
  unwinding in your bed at one of the cheap hotels.

7
Trust Your Gut Instinct

• If you feel something is wrong or you are being
  followed or stalked, you are most probably right.
  You are an easy target when traveling alone, so
  be prepared. Plan for everything ahead, whether
  it is for safety or emergency. Keep a pepper
  spray or something similar but legal to face
  danger if you are unfortunate victim. Carry a
  hard copy of your emergency numbers and hotel
  name and number on a piece of paper somewhere on
  your body as well. It is always better to be safe
  than sorry.

8
Create Memories Create Your Own Story

• Last but not least, create memories. Go get your
  own story that is exclusively yours with the new
  people you will meet, the places you will explore
  and take home the unique new person you have
  discovered within yourself.
