For years I used the excuse that I couldn’t find anyone to
travel with, so I couldn’t go.
This forced me to make a decision, either I waited until
others were on the same page as me (this could be an entire lifetime) or I took
some responsibility for my dreams and made it happen.
Up until that point I was afraid to travel alone. The moment I went out on my own my life
changed. I got dropped off at the train station in California to start my
journey to Germany, I cannot think of a more exhilarating and empowering
experience. From the beginning to the
end of the trip I can honestly say I met more people and had more memorable
experiences then any other trip I have been on. I found that when I was alone I was more
likely to challenge myself, think outside of the box and interact with
others. As a result I encountered so
many wonderful new experiences and made new friendships.
Traveling alone opens up opportunities and connects you to people
and experiences that you may not have noticed if you were with a travel buddy. If not having a travel partner is holding you
back, I encourage you to clear away this mindset and change your view. Once you do it, I’m betting you will never
look back. I know I haven’t.
