Another advantage of traveling alone is the fact if you really want some time to yourself, you’re free to do so at anytime. Getting tired of the hostels scene? No problem, just check yourself into a guesthouse or private hotel room for a couple of days. Want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life? No worries, just head to the nearest beach and laze around for a while. It’s easy to take time out for yourself while traveling solo and this may even been the one reason you decided to take this trip in the first place!
