Travel
How solo travel will change your life
It’s simple. To me, travel is a personal experience. It’s a chance to
learn about yourself; who you are and what you want from life. It allows
you to see how different the world is and to put your life in
perspective. When you remove yourself from your life back home, you’re
able to take that time to reflect and see things in your life a little
differently. However, when you take a bit of home with you (i.e. a
friend), that becomes a lot harder to do.
And then, when you are alone, there are no limitations. You can go north
or south, by boat or by train, you can just sit on the street for the
whole day and watch the world go by. There are no rules, no one hour
lunch breaks. There’s no one else to worry about and no one checking up
on you. You can eat whatever you want and sleep wherever you want. For
once, you can finally just ask yourself what you want to do today, and
then do it. In the process, you’ll learn things about yourself that will
surprise even you.
