Today I wanted to share with you some of my own personal pros and cons to solo travelling and group travelling. I don’t have a preference over either but I do believe that everyone should at some point experience travelling alone mostly because it’s an amazing way to deepen your relationship with yourself.
Solo Travelling
Pros
You’re the boss and you get to decide how your journey unfolds. The thing I enjoyed most about this was it was quite easy to change plans if something unexpectedly presented itself and I felt intuitively pulled towards it.
Being alone you have a lot of time to reflect and digest the new information and experiences you get from being on the road.
You get to manage your own budget.
Cons
It can get lonely. Although you make a lot of new friends along the way, you tend to say goodbye just as often.
Safety - there’s safety in numbers.
Group Travelling
Pros
Friends - you’ll always have company.
Support in emergencies- there’s a sense of security knowing you have someone in your immediate environment if anything is to happen.
Splitting costs - means cheaper expenses.
Cons
Managing energies and the wants and needs of multiple people.
Time management - not everyone may run on similar schedules.
Costs - you may have to go without or pay for things out of your budget depending on activities.
I hope some of this information was helpful to anyone who may be contemplating how they’d like to travel.
