Why Should Every Woman Travel Alone?
A female traveling solo? I hope she gets back home safely. Poor thing, she could not manage a friend or a partner to go with. We often hear such comments whenever we use the term ‘solo travel’ and the comments get even more specific when we mention ‘female solo travel’. There are several misconceptions about making solo trips especially when it comes to females. But the truth is a solo trip is much more liberating and empowering whether it is a male or a female. The reservations lie in making that booking and finally boarding the flight. Once you cross that bridge, the apprehension is gone and there is a whole new set of fun and quirky experiences waiting to be unfolded.
The Freedom is Empowering
When you go on a solo trip, you realize that you are the sole person whose interests and inclinations matter. You can heartily engage in your kind of activities, visit your top-of-the-list places and eat your kind of food. You feel liberated and there is no underestimating this liberation. You can let yourself loose without caring about family or friends, their likes or dislikes. You can just be in your own skin, in your own zone, and as selfish as it may sound, it is actually quite empowering, not to mention, mesmerizing.
Meet New People, Find New Friends
You would be surprised to see how often people and locals are likely to initiate a curious conversation with a female solo traveler and this is irrespective of any nation or language barrier. You get to meet new people on each travel you take. Who knows someone might strike you so well that you end up becoming a close friend. Let us leave it to chance. But it does happen to a lot of people.
Gain the Confidence to Make Decisions
You are on a solo trip which means that you have done the entire planning on your own from booking the flights to accommodation to activities and everything in between. This experience teaches a lot, it empowers us and also makes the traveler more confident when they play the role of key decision makers. This is really helpful for pulling a person out of their comfort zone and even activates the lazy brain cells of those who do not like to plan things.
Overcome Your Fears & Anxieties
How many times does it happen that we avoid going out to eat or watch a movie just because we are unable to plan it with someone? Probably a bit many. We often miss out on various experiences that are important for self-growth because we are scared of doing it alone or just reluctant to even make an effort. Some of us become so dependent on others that it even leads to feeling anxious if those people or if that someone is somehow unavailable to make plans at the moment. As a solo female traveler, the moment you start making the effort to do all these things on your own, you not only gain confidence but also overcome all these inhibitions and anxieties that you might harbor due to the fear of being alone. We are not saying that every solo person feels that way; this is just based on what a majority of us feel.
The Perfect Opportunity To Self-Reflect
It is important to take out some time to self-reflect and ponder on the ongoing events in our lives, whether those are leaving a positive impact or leaving unhealthy traces. This can happen only when we can truly be alone and in our own space. As a solo female traveler, you can be in that space and use the vacation to self-reflect and log in on whatever changes you are or should make for making your life better. Once you log these things into your journal, half the work is done. The journey of self-discovery begins for some and resumes for others.
Detox & Heal & Indulge in Self-Love
A solo female journey is more than a tour, it can be a journey of wellbeing and self-love, if you want it to be. While you engage in all sorts of fun stuff that you have always been willing to do but have not been able to find the time or the chance to do during family or romantic travels, you also get the opportunity to make the tour about self-love and detoxification. You can even indulge in some yoga and Ayurveda therapy if you are traveling to the Indian subcontinent, the original land of the greatest natural body sciences. Let go of any impurities to embrace a whole new version of you with a Hatha Yoga TTC in Rishikesh at a certified yoga school in Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the globe. Not just India, you can even pick other forms of recreational exercise routines and adventures that contribute towards self-love and detoxifying from any impurities.
If you do not have an itinerary to include yoga practices, then you can explore a few classes or a weekend retreat. It is absolutely reviving and worth it.
Going on a solo trip is a wonderful experience and it can be one of the most beautiful tour memories that you will always cherish. With that, it goes without saying that wherever you go, whether a male or a female, it is always better to be safe than reckless. It doesn’t matter whether you are traveling locally or globally or internationally, it is important to research upon the destination, set a proper itinerary and follow travel advisory. Keep your documents and bills safe with you at all times and be wary of going to places that are remote and lack proper connectivity.
Have a happy journey!
