Information on Travelling Solo!

So I'm sure at least once, you have thought about an adventure you would love to start planning, but then after asking around, you're friends didn't seem too keen to be as spontaneous to just up and leave. Sound about right? Well for some people this has been the case, and for me, It certainly was. Thinking back, I realize how different my life could have panned out if I hadn't faced my fears and chased my dream when the opportunity set in. Dont get me wrong, It wasn't easy and It took a lot of guts to get on the plane and jet off to the other side of the world not knowing anybody, but thats life I guess, you either decide to grab opportunities when you can or risk regrest in the future. Its always nice knowing you have someone by your side when travelling but at the same time, you won't thoroughly understand the advantages of solo travel until you take the leap and try It for yourself.

Below are some of the benefits of solo travel!

• It may sound cheesy, but travelling solo can help you to grow as a person and mature into a responsible young adult.
• It makes you very approachable to other travellers and vice versa. Alot of people travel by themselves so meeting others in the same boat is never difficult. 
• You will become very confident in yourself and meeting people will be a breeze to you after a solo trip.
• It brings about a sense of pride in yourself and people will be proud of you for taking on something so daunting.
  
• It can leave you open to so many possibilities, perhaps joining others on a road trip or planning a trip abroad to visit new friends.

Travelling solo, doesn't mean that you go on a trip by yourself and you are constantly alone, It Is in fact the complete opposite. Some of the biggest groups of backpackers have been formed by solo travellers who happen to be going the same route and decide to do it together. Think of it as the beginning of something amazing! I know a lot of people who at first thought, said they could never have travelled alone, and when a situation arose and they had to travel alone, they loved it. Returning from a trip that you decided to do by yourself is very rewarding, and so Is looking back at all the friends you have made from merely this decision. I always believe that If you have a dream, go for it, don't ever wait for someone else to have the same dream as you, because what will end up happening, Is that one of you will lose out. Everyone is different and everyone has their own interests, goals and desires so go and sit down now, take a pen and paper and write out your bucket list for the next year! Write out at least 5 things that you want to do and in a years time look back on It and you never know, all 5 could be ticked off and you could already be half way through your next bucket list. This is the importance of life... To live!
Dont let anybody hold you back, get up, get planning and just go! Im not saying you need to be as crazy as me and jet off for a year down under, but even plan a city break away to explore the sights and learn what you love to do.
The general thoughts on 'hostels', or so I seem to hear very often, Is that they are dodgy, dirty and cheap for a reason, well believe me, some hostels out there could pass as 5* hotels any day, they are that amazing. You wouldn't even believe it, especially in Thailand! Hostels are the best way to have a home away from home, meet other like minded people, feel safe and be right in the heart of the action. Why go travelling to stay in a private room in a hotel? Who are you going to meet? And How will anybody find you to invite you on their amazing 'Pub Crawl'? The best days of my travels have been spent in hostels, meeting people at the hostel bar for drinking games ('Im a Viking'), going on crazy tours with people you just met and feeling well and truly at home in the family unit that is a hostel.
If you take anything from this post, I hope you at least consider that this is not an impossible dream, this is something that at the drop of a hat, can happen. Its just you standing in the way of you're own dream. I am here to share my experience and show you that by following your heart and chasing your dreams with wide open arms, It can change your whole path of life, I for one, can vouch for that!

Happy Travels Guys!
