Trip planning becomes a lot easier
This is the time to give preference to your own bucket list of places you always wanted to visit but have been holding back because you had to be considerate towards other companions. You can plan the trip as per your own will and desire and you can even make changes at the last moment. You can explore the places of your interest and be free to roam around as much as you like.
Introspect
One tends to be ignorant towards one’s own inner voice because the hustle bustle of city life keeps one too busy to spend some time alone. Solo trip gives you a chance to give some time to your own self, think about your desires and meditate upon them. You develop new interests, polish the ones you already have and change your perspective towards life. It is very much like a soul purifying activity. This is the perfect time to recharge your system and return back with more energy. Bhutan is my most favorite place for a solo trip and I love the serene air and picturesque surroundings. Just perfect to roam around, get lost, meditate and recover.
It is Empowering
You might face a lot of challenges and obstacles in your trip and yet you will love them all, you will flaunt them just as a warrior wears his scars with proud. Solo trips make you more confident and self-dependent. You learn to manage in the most unfavorable situations and it gives you the confidence to face any difficulty in life. The more nervous you feel while kicking off a solo trip the more victorious you would be when you come back.

Find Those Answers
Whenever I travel alone, I always find answers to most important questions in my life, questions which remain unanswered in the confused, chaotic mind find the best answers when guided by my soul. For some it could be something related to business, for some it could be career or studies or about one’s personal life. All these answers rest within us, we just have to give some time and think deeper which is next to impossible when surrounded by people. Voices from outside tend to mislead most of the time and that is when we need to listen to the inner voice and trust it.
Bring that Artist Out
One thing I like the most about a solo trip is that it helps me spare some time for my art. Landscapes become a beautiful painting and the calm breeze on a beach is just perfect to write some poetry. Nature and art are closely related and one gets to understand this better on a solo trip. The most precious poems of my life were written during my solo trips, the most magnificent paintings were inspired by the most exquisite beaches and the most appealing pictures were clicked in the remotest locations. These moments of loneliness will bring sheer joy to your life.
