SEC-S16W2 | Solo VS Group In Travel

Let's gather memories and not things!

Travelling is said to be part of the experience! I love travelling it allows me to explore different environments, understand other cultures, learn new things make new friends, and most importantly Make priceless wonderful memories! Our faces are different so our preferences, some love to travel alone while others prefer in a group, whatever our choices are both are rewarding, it has its advantages and disadvantages. Today I'll tell you which one I prefer among the 2 and its advantages and disadvantages.

Your Choice For Travel Alone Or Group: State Your Reasons By Listing Advantages And Disadvantages.

Guess what? I never travelled alone before, but maybe I will 💬 someday for now I will choose group travel over and over again! This is why:

Advantages:

Travelling in a group normally allows me to spot all the best sights because my partners will point to them, and it ensures my safety all the time.

Group travels normally make travelling stress-free and luxurious, it gives comfort and convenience, I don't need to plan everything myself because we will do it as a group, the travel, hotel, itinerary, and activities will all be done in advance.

It normally gives me a good opportunity to form new friendships, I can recall during my university days we went for an excursion that particular travel created room for me to make some good friends, and share experiences, I got to know most of my coursemates well, we used to play together, sang, admired nature and explore so many things, it was adventurous!

Group travel is cost-effective because expenses will be contributed by all the group members, and discounts will be given on so many things.

Safety: the group will get each Other's back, rendering immediate help.

Disadvantages:

Compromise: you can't make certain decisions alone, every group member must unanimously agree on some things, so you have relative freedom.

You may not get some customised travel experience in group travel, it's rigid, group will be sticking to a planned schedule.

Some friends might irritate you, hahaha 🤣 but what are Friends for?

You won't enjoy personal space.

The Difference You Experience On General Costs By Traveling In These Modalities.

As I said before group travel is very costly and effective because expenses will be shared and you'll get a bulk discount on so many things, while solo you will foot everything by yourself though it has some customised travel experience. But I feel group travel is more affordable than solo.

For The Case For Going In Group: Which People Would You Like To Take With You In The Trip?

My husband, lovely kids, siblings and good friends, with my siblings that journey will be lively and fun because we will discuss everything! My husband will give us a premium experience that Man loves luxury and good things. My kids will make it more adventurous because they like exploring everything, lastly, my friends will make sure we've captured every moment, we will play, eat laugh, dance and forget our sorrows. Travelling with loved ones is always fun!

As Recommendations: What Are The Best Spots For You To Travel In Group/alone?

I would love to choose one of the adventure destinations, this will allow our group to enjoy so many outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, and experiencing wildlife night. We will push ourselves to the limit and then embrace adventure travel!

For this I was thinking of Morocco whose culture is influenced by both Africa, the Middle East and Europe. It's an outstanding adventure trip location because of its unique landscape. We will do Mountain hikes, and camel rides, experience the Colorful souks, and eat all their delicious meals to kick off the journey!

We will visit the Mediterranean and the Sahara and this place will just up our adventure games.

Adventure travel will give you numerous experiences just pack some array of heart-pounding and goosebumps-raising possibilities into your travelling bags. Haha

Well group travel is my choice but this doesn't make solo bad, a group tour is usually a great way to experience and enjoy so many things, especially with our loved ones, travelling is our responsibility, it's tremendously luxury, breathtaking and an uncommon transformation experience! So we should choose what's best for us based on our interests and objectives. The two modes have their advantages and disadvantages so whichever one we've chosen we need to be cautious, respecting cultural and regional traditions and most importantly creating life-long memories for ourselves!
