Travelling with a friend has some big advantages and so does going solo. I think the biggest thing that going solo offers me is having time to myself which is something that I’ve only recently realised. I’m a hugely social person but I really love being able to reflect on things, write, think, draw, nerd it up on the computer and most importantly, decide when I wake up. That said, i think the advantages of having a good friend around are big ones.
