Everyone Should Travel Solo At Least Once

What is Solo Travel?

Taking a flight or train by yourself to visit family or friends is not solo travel. Of course, you’re traveling alone, but if someone is waiting for you, then it’s not solo travel.

Solo travel means you’re going somewhere else alone to explore a place. It is an incredible experience and every backpacker should experience at least once in their lifetime.

I agree, traveling with someone can be a great experience too, but you shouldn’t dismiss the idea of travel just because you have no one to go with. Nowadays, More and more people are choosing to travel on their own.
