The fear of loneliness stops many of us from traveling alone. There are many who keep postponing their plans to go for a travel. And the reason they say is the fear of going alone. Well, traveling alone is definitely an exciting experience where you get to know a number of temporary travelers and have fun all along. There are both pros and cons with traveling alone; however the pros surpass cons.
You can take the freedom of traveling at your own speed and take breaks whenever needed. On the other hand, you ought to stand alone when there is a long queue to pass, sit for dinner with no one to accompany, and manage by yourself if you fall sick.
Even the biggest cities can be ugly and boring when you travel alone. The challenge lies with befriending people in these new places. Playing peekaboo with a baby can be a way to befriend his or her parent. Get to know the laundry boy or salesman at a nearby kiosk to guide you to the places you wish to go.
First and foremost, you need to schedule your travel in such a way that you look for stay areas in the morning or noon and not during late hours of the day. For instance, if you’ve got a journey of 5 to 6 hours between 4 pm and 10 pm today, you will have to look for a room at night after 10 pm. Such situations need to be avoided. By scheduling your travel for the morning or noon hours, you can avoid hunting for rooms at night. If, on the other hand, you are cornered to travel in the evening, it is better to stay at the waiting room in railway station or airport overnight, get guidance from people over there in the morning and then begin with searching for room.
There is a lot of risk involved in traveling alone, especially when you want to travel into forest areas. Hence, it is advisable for you to inform a local guy or native about your forest visit before marching in. This is recommended so that he may take actions when you are suspiciously absent.
Planning your backpack is important too. Keep in mind that there is no one to carry the luggage for you. So, keep your loads minimal only with the essential items and not everything.
Exploring new dishes authentic to the place you visit is a definite Yes. However, it is also important for you to stay away from foods that are allergic to you and those that are likely to cause indigestion.
Try traveling alone, but be wise in your plans. You will certainly enjoy the experience.
