Travelling by yourself means not being able to rely on anyone else to get the most out of your trips. It means you are left to navigate your place in the world, to embrace or shun the ever-changing call of the wild. No matter where you go and what you do, it will change you.

My wonderful travel tales were made possible by taking charge of my mental health.” – Emily Mulligan
You will gain confidence when you travel alone - “Traveling alone can certainly be scary. But when you get to your destination, navigate the streets, find your hotel, make yourself understood despite a language barrier, and book a day tour all on your own in a foreign land, something starts to change. You suddenly realize you can do things on your own. Even something simple you do alone at home all the time takes a lot more effort abroad. When you accomplish the task, your confidence will start to soa.” - Ali Garland
You’ll catch the travel bug for life - “Once you step out and start exploring the world, you will want to see it all” –

Travelling solo can be both safe and rewarding, but be mindful of safety concerns just as you would travelling in a pair or group. Take care in large cities at night, watch your drinks, be aware of any local scams and keep a close eye on your valuables.
