Travelling solo vs group trips

in #travel7 years ago

I recently went travelling on my own and had a few thoughts that occurred to me.

Solo:

  • You are independent; you can go wherever you want and at a time that suits you
  • You meet new people
  • You are driven to step outside your comfort zone
  • You can let yourself make mistakes without people dwelling on it and blaming each other
  • You are unable to split the costs for accommodation/food/transportation

Group:

  • Depending on the size, you would have to liase and make sure everyone knows the plan. Otherwise you spend most of the time waiting on people
  • Mostly everyone has a role and can help each other, e.g. carrying luggage or finding places to eat or navigating and researching hotels
  • You feel safe and more comfortable
  • You can save money by splitting the costs

These are just a few i have written down. I know there are plenty more to consider. If anybody has more to share, please comment :)
