Solo travel is life-changing. It’s true, you might feel a little apprehensive about exploring a new place alone but trust us it’ll open a world of possibilities for you. It’s also the perfect ‘me-time’ ritual that you must indulge in once in a while. After all, travelling solo does offer some soul-enriching experiences that you can never really get when you’re surrounded by people and adjusting to match their schedules, preferences and expectations from the trip.
Solo travel is therapeutic. When life seems to be stuck in a rut with the same routines, or if you’re grasping at straws trying to get a foothold in your personal or professional life, moving away for a little while will help you break free from the downward spiral of negative emotions. All of us go through that when plans fail, relationships end or just the monotony and stress of everyday chores could be turning you waspish and negative. The best way to deal with all the negativity is to remove yourself from it all. When you change the setting, you change your thoughts. So, if you’re in need of some real soul-searching and desperate for self-love and me-time, here are the reasons why solo travel will do you a world of good.
More time for self-care
While we can’t stop talking about the benefits of self-care, finding the time and having the inclination is quite far from reality. Juggling multiple responsibilities can be quite energy draining but ironically when it’s time to do something that’s rejuvenating, we’re more likely to finish up some pending tasks than sit down to really relax and unwind. Travelling solo, be it for a weekend or a week, gives you all the time in the world to attend to your self-care needs. You can take a spa-vacation or head to a mind-body rejuvenation retreat, or just sit around at a touristy coffeeshop in another city and watch the world pass you by.
Discover your true self
When you’re away from the people in your life it gives you ample time to really know who you are, the person you have become and the person you want to be. Also being away from monotonous routines will make you pay more attention to what you really want from life and discover new interests, hobbies or really understand what you want to do, without trying to match others’ schedules and plans.
Tests your abilities
You’ll never know what you’re capable of unless you put your capabilities to the test. When you’re in a different setting you’re bound to learn new things about yourself and understand what make you tick and gain a better perspective on how well you can cope.
Makes you confident
t’s a fact that navigating situations and places on your own helps build confidence. As you find your way and thrive, you’ll become more self-reliant and that improves your self-esteem and confidence.
From exploring your personal interests without compromise to pushing your limits to discovering new capabilities, solo travel is a great way to really spend some quality ’me-time’. Solo travel gives you the complete freedom to be where you want to be and do what you want to do. Now isn’t that the ultimate example of self-love?!
Now with more and more women embarking on solo trips, it’s time you gave yourself a much-needed break that’s planned from start to finish keeping only your interests and likes in mind. Just do a lot of research about the place and the accommodation options to ensure your safety, because you cannot compromise on that.
