http://www.papillon.com Taking a solo trip is a rewarding experience that allows us to experience the things we want to see and do, without having to worry about anyone else or plan around the needs of others. Most of all, it’s a chance to live and grow.

2. Travel is more than just a
pleasure – it’s a way to revitalize,
recalibrate, and expand your
mind. And as much fun as seeing
the world with other people can
be, there’s also plenty of reasons
why traveling by yourself is often
the better choice. Let’s take a
look at a few of those reasons…

3. The more people that go on a trip,
the more planning that’s involved.
When you travel solo, on the other
hand, you don’t have to worry about
making sure that everyone is happy
with the itinerary – you only have to
worry about yourself, and making
time for what you want to do.

4. Traveling can be expensive, and
the more people you bring
along the more expensive it is.
One of the best things about
traveling solo is that when
you’re only budgeting for one,
you can afford to do more
things and visit more places.

5. Most of us don’t really
get to spend much
quality time with
ourselves. When we’re
not with family, friends,
or coworkers, we’re
worrying about bills and
running errands. A solo
trip – even if it’s just for
the weekend – gives you
a chance to unwind and
spend some time alone
with the person who
matters most: yourself.

6. Is there some place you’ve always
wanted to visit, or something
you’ve always wanted to do? A
solo vacation is the perfect chance
to check off boxes on your
personal “to do” list, without
worrying about having to fit it into
someone else’s schedule.

7. As fun as traveling with
friends or family can be, it’s
hard to be spontaneous on a
trip with a group of people.
When you’re traveling by
yourself though, you can
change your plans as much as
you want, at any time, to fit
your current mood and enjoy
new experiences as you
encounter them.

8. Another great thing about the
freedom that comes with
traveling solo is the freedom to
meet new people. Leaving friends
and family at home removes the
biggest barrier to getting to really
spend time with people you
encounter on your travels.

9. Perhaps the best reason
to travel solo is to prove
to yourself that you can
do it. Make your own
plans, follow through on
them, and enjoy
yourself for a day, a
weekend, or a week all
by yourself, and you’ll
know you can do just
about anything you set
your mind to.
