SEC-S16W2 | Solo vs Group in Travel
Hello Everyone!
Firstly, I would like to thank @Traveling Steem Community for coming up with such an exciting topic, which can even help readers decide whether they should travel alone or in a group for the next trip as people will share their experiences, advantages, and disadvantages.
I would like to invite, @venezolanos, @lanegra2804, and @simonnwigwe to participate in this challenge and share their views and experiences. Thank you.
Now let’s begin with the challenge post.
Your choice for travel alone or group: state your reasons by listing advantages and disadvantages.
I prefer traveling in a group rather than solo because it's more fun and you feel safe in a group.
Advantages of traveling in a group:
- The traveling cost gets divided, so it’s cheaper to travel in a group than solo.
- You feel safe with a group of people you know, rather than traveling solo.
- In case of any emergency or health issue, you have your people to help you out, while on a solo trip, you have to manage everything by yourself.
- It’s more fun in a group. You can order a variety of food and drinks and can click each other’s photos, while on a solo trip, you have to ask strangers to click your photos.
Disadvantages of traveling in a group:
- In a group, you have to do things according to everyone’s wishes, while on a solo trip, you can do things according to your wishes.
- In a group, you might feel bound at times. On a solo trip, you feel free.
The difference you experience in general costs by traveling in these modalities.
I haven’t traveled solo, so, I can’t be precise on which modality is cheaper. But, in my opinion, traveling solo is much more expensive than traveling in a group, as you have to bear the cost of stay, food, and, everything on your own. On the other side, traveling in a group would be cost-effective as you can share rooms, food and modes of transportation.
For the case of going in group: which people would you like to take with you on the trip? Alone: which activities will you do?
While traveling in a group, I would prefer going with my cousins or my close friends, as I am more comfortable with them and I can be myself in front of them.
While traveling alone, I would love to go places where I can get the best view of sunrise and sunset. I won’t do any activities, I would enjoy my alone time in nature and observing things around me. I would talk to local people and children, learn about their culture and traditions, and spend some time with them.
As recommendations: What are the best spots for you to travel in a group/alone?
While traveling in a group, I prefer going to new countries and exploring new restaurants and clubs. And while traveling alone, I prefer going hiking or a small trek and enjoying my alone time and my peace.
@manisha.jain9 Your well balanced perspective on group vs. solo travel provides valuable insights. Your preference for group travel citing shared costs and the comfort of familiar faces is relatable. The consideration of safety and assistance in emergencies highlights the importance of companionship. Your openness to cultural immersion during solo trips is commendable focusing on genuine interactions. Wishing you many more exciting group adventures and peaceful solo explorations in the future
Hey! Thank you for such a lovely comment :)
Bepergian sendiri maupun kelompok, itu tergantung tujuan dan dimana tempat bepergian tersebut.
Karena, ada masanya jika kita yang harus pergi sendiri.
Dan ada pula yang harus pergi kelompok.
Seperti kita bepergian masalah kerja. Maka kita harus pergi sendiri, supaya biaya yang harus kita keluarkan lebih sedikit.
Dan jika kita pergi ke gunung, atau ke tempat wisata lainnya. Itu memerlukan kelompok karena dapat menukar perdapat dan tertawa bersama.
Swpertinya anda membutuhkan hiburan. Karena anda menyebutkan. Ketika bepergian dalam grup, saya lebih memilih pergi ke negara-negara baru dan menjelajahi restoran dan klub-klub baru. Dan ketika bepergian sendirian, aku lebih suka mendaki atau jalan kecil dan menikmati waktu sendirian dan damaiku.
Terimakasih sudah berantisipasi dalam kontes ini dan semoga sukses dalam kompetisi minggu ini temanku.
Hey! I completely agree with you. Thank you for stopping by.
Sama-sama temanku.
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Hello dear friend, @manisha.jain9
Hey! I agree the bond of love deepens when we travel together. So, I love travelling in group with friends or family only.
That makes sense! It's always more enjoyable and comforting to have fun with a bunch of friends when you're exploring new places.
Yeah, it's a bit of a trade-off. In a group, there's compromise, but when you're solo, you have the freedom to do exactly what you want – it's all about personal choices.
Fair enough! Your opinion about solo travel being pricier makes sense, especially considering shared expenses in a group make things more budget-friendly.
That sounds lovely! I think enjoying nature and taking in sunrise and sunset views during solo trips seems like a peaceful way to unwind and connect with the surroundings.
Thank you :)
Hello traveler! 👋🏼
Thanks for sharing your post in the TS Community. Here you are the feedback and evaluation results:
Despite I would rather to choose the solo modality to enjoy a greater flexibility and freedom during a nice trip, I can't deny the big advantage of being in group to divide the costs just like you are saying in the publication friend. Good luck.

Group travel is also my favorite. It helps me de-stress from life. Also traveling has a significant impact on your mental health. A change of environment refreshes your mind and helps you to cope with stress and depression.Thank you very much for this nice publication. And with that I wish you all the best for the competition.
