Here are some of the most famous travel quotations from popular people. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” – Robert Louis Stevenson “The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson “All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.” – Paul Fussell “Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac “He who does not travel does not know the value of men.” – Moorish proverb “People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.” – Dagobert D.

Are you someone who is not at ease with travelling with someone? Do you like to do things your way when it comes to organizing trips? If yes, then being travelling alone might be your best recourse. But what do you get from taking a solo trip? Here we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of being a solo traveller. Pros 1. The most obvious advantage is that you get complete independence. You are not bound by any schedules such as that of group tours and you get to do things that you like. No one will force you to go backpacking or hiking when all you want to do is another activity. By travelling alone, no one will wake you up at 6 am because you are in a group tour that follows a certain schedule and itinerary. Doing it alone can give you an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone. 2. Solo travel can also provide opportunities for making new friends. It is less intimidating to approach someone and start a conversation when you are alone rather than two of you. You can start by asking for directions especially if you are in an unfamiliar territory. […]
