Solo Travel and Self-Discovery

Solo Travel is the Path That Leads Back to You

Anyone who has ever seen the movies “Eat, Pray, Love” or “Under the Tuscan Sun” has probably fantasized about traveling alone so they can “find themselves.” While life may not always be like it is in the movies, movies can be about life, and these two stories, as well as many others, are real stories of solo travel and self-discovery. If you’re thinking about taking a trip on your own, consider these tips to help you plan.

Wondering what you’ll discover on your solo adventure? A life path psychic can help you prepare!

Do the Research and Get Inspired

If you’re feeling a little lost, like you need a life change or you’re just curious about what it would be like to venture out on your own, you’re in good company. There are thousands, if not millions, of solo travelers who have ventured out on their own worldwide. In fact, people have built businesses around catering to the solo traveler. You can choose to take the truly solo path like Cheryl Strayed writes about in her book, “Wild,” you can sign up with tours that are geared toward the solo traveler, or you can simply pick a place and book your own adventure. The trick is to choose a place you feel drawn to and go.

Travel can be confusing as well as expensive, but there are options. Sites such as solotravlerworld.com are centered on the niche of solo men and women travelers. They offer tips on traveling, ways to pick and plan your destination, and inspirational stories about people who have gained confidence and opened up a path to self-discovery through solo travel. In sum, no matter who you are, you can travel on your own.

Solo Travel vs. Group Travel

Almost nothing beats a getaway with friends or a weeklong adventure with family, except maybe traveling alone. A change of scenery with those you care about can be a bonding experience and provide a chance to make moments. However, solo travel can be equally exciting as well as an eye-opening road to self-discovery. Here are a few reasons that solo travel may appeal to you:

1. You get to do what you want. When you travel with a group, everyone’s wants are taken into consideration. Someone wants to go to the beach, while someone else wants to go shopping. Sometimes you have to acquiesce and do what the group wants. However, when you travel alone, you get to do what you want and when you want to do it. You get up when you want to and go to bed when you want to and do anything you want to do in between.

2. You get to meet more people. When traveling in a group everyone tends to stick together for the most part—you even eat as a group too! As a solo traveler, however, you get to spend more time with strangers, which is both scary and empowering.

3. You get to rely on yourself. A solo trip can seem daunting, especially the first time you do it. You really are alone out there, but if you are open to adventure while also feeling somewhat safe with your choices, you can really surprise yourself. When you have only yourself to rely on, you learn how much you’re really capable of. Every adventure you take and every decision you make builds confidence and teaches you things about yourself you may not have otherwise recognized.

Your Authentic Self

You can take many different roads on the path to self-discovery, but each road has a few things in common. You’re going to an unfamiliar place, doing what you’ve never done before, and meeting new people from all walks of life. Everyone can benefit from traveling alone, and people who have done it know what kind of personal and spiritual impact the experience can bring. Once you try solo travel, chances are you’ll want to do it again and again. After all, finding yourself is not only an adventure, it’s a journey.

Sure, you can travel the World Wide Web and cover a continent in a day, but nothing takes the place of experiencing foreign lands and their people in real life. If you really want to see what you’re made of, try a little solo travel. You may never get a better chance to find your authentic self until you find yourself in the wide open spaces.
