5 Reasons To Solo Travel In Your 20s

Perks of Solo Travel

Studies have found that the main reason people consider solo travel is to avoid waiting for others to come with them.

If you have an itch to get out and explore, then don’t let waiting for others stop you from seeing the world.  

1. You Get to Be Selfish

You may be unaware of how often you compromise for others. Travelling solo means that your trip is all about you. You get to be completely selfish because the itinerary is entirely up to you. 

2. Blossom In Confidence

Navigating yourself around a new place, or city will gain you new confidence. By pushing yourself to speak to other travellers or locals, you’ll develop better people skills, boosting your confidence levels. 

3. Become More Independent 

Travelling solo pushes you to figure out transport systems, interpret words in another language and attend restaurants or attractions alone. This gains you independence, which is a valuable skill to bring back from your travels. 

You’ll never need to rely on anyone else ever again.

4. Learn More About Yourself

Solo travel can help you to discover what your values are in life. It provides the opportunity to understand who you truly are. You don’t have to consider anyone else but yourself, allowing you to learn what’s truly important to you. 

5. Headspace to Reflect

In 2024, we all lead very busy lives, juggling work, education, family, hobbies and a social life, all at once. This leaves us with very little time for ourselves. Taking a solo trip provides you with that headspace to reflect on your life. What are you happy with, and what do you need to change?
