Benefits of Solitude and Traveling Alone
1. Time is all yours and you have full time to take care of yourself.
You don’t have to take care of others’ needs and feelings but all about yourself. Being alone does not amount to being lonely. If you are someone who is talented in dealing with solitude, being alone is great.
2. You don’t have to make any compromises for the sake of others.
You are allowed to travel at your own pace. Without co-travelers, you are able to change your travel itinerary without any negotiation or any possible conflicts. You don’t have to spend time on somewhere you are not interested in. You have full authority to dictate how long you prefer to stay in a place. You don’t have to be rushed and you don’t have to rush others. You don’t have to line up for hours because your partner wants to dine out in a popular restaurant. You don’t have to worry about the budget because your partner prefers to dine out in high-end restaurants or stay in a luxury hotel.
It’s tiresome to stay with anyone who fails to respect your needs and unwilling to work out the difference between two parties. Introverts prefer to be single travelers because introverts are more likely to make compromises than extroverts. It’s assured.
※Solitude guarantees perfect timing for self-introspection and self-improvement.
Without others around, it’s perfectly a great state for you to reflect on yourself and your life experiences. If you fail to be happy when you are alone, that’s a warning sign.
