Complete Freedom
This can be a scary yet empowering – having complete
freedom. Traveling alone means I can choose or change my itinerary, go to whatever restaurant I
want, stay wherever I please, see whichever sights I wish and
stay there as long as I want. When I travel solo I don't have to make any compromises. The world is my oyster, quite literally.
Challenging Myself
A lot of soul searching can take place when my only companion is my bike and baggage. When I travel by myself I
cannot afford to doubt my decisions. I challenge myself to try new adventures, eat different foods and stay in unusual places. These challenges make me a stronger person.
Getting to Know the Locals
One of the most amazing experiences while traveling is getting
to know the people. I am far more likely to start up a
conversation at the local pub with a stranger if I have no one else to
talk to.
