-I don’t want to travel
by myself
More and more I hear people say, “I don’t know if I could travel by myself.”
More and more I hear people say, “I don’t know if I could travel by myself.”
It’s not even about traveling…
people won’t do anything by themselves anymore.
People are scared to sit in a restaurant and eat alone. Why is that?
Because it’s awkward? Because it’s uncomfortable? Because you’re worried about
what other people will think about you?
I guess when you really want something, the less you care about all of that. Would I like to travel with people? Yes. But traveling by myself is SUPER nice too!! I can do whatever I want when I want and I meet tons of people that I may not have met had I been with my friends.
You are never truly alone. Ever.
And yes, I did walk into a pub in London by myself, sat at a table, and ordered a ridiculously huge meal. Hakuna Matata.
-I’m going to wait until I’m older/retire to travel

WHY?!!?
I know this isn’t sound financial advice, but my gosh! Don’t let money stop you from living and traveling and seeing the world!
NOW IS THE TIME!!!
I’ve heard stories from people who were planning on
traveling and seeing the world once they retired…. And then the husband (or
wife) got really sick and could no longer travel. YOLO!
If money is an issue, I promise you there are affordable ways to see the world/do it on a budget. Many times, you’ll even get more out of the experience because you’ll be forced to interact on a closer level with other human beings! (There’s an idea!) J
(This past trip when we were in Spain... I basically only paid for food, a few dollars here and there for the underground, and split the cost of a hostel which was super cheap. A lot of major cities have free walking tours which are actually pretty well done and allows you to see all the major sites!)

And do it before you get tied down! Another reason to go NOW!!!!

FLYING SOLO IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE and it is my goal to get people out there exploring the world.
