Why to travel alone?

Travel + Leisure magazine wrote about this kind of journeys recently. As the article says, traveling alone is the best way to “experience the world without the influence of a friend or partner’s tastes, prejudices, or preferences.” In fact, the people say that traveling alone is perfect for people who want to discover themselves, rather than discover a place.

The article talks about the special concerns that solo travelers have, like the safety of the country they are visiting and the happiness that can be experienced there. They think that solo travelers need to visit places with hospitable people, where they can interact with the locals and their traditions without problems and where the connection with the new culture can be a beautiful experience.
