SOLO TRAVEL - I've done a lot of it. Yes, over the years, I have also enjoyed travelling with friends, boyfriends and family but there is something that hits differently about solo travel.
I feel like when I travel alone, I completely leave my life back home, behind me and can totally immerse myself in a new experience.
Solo travel sometimes raises questions from people who have never done it (and it might not be for everyone) and often from people in the countries you are visiting. "You travel alone?" "Where is your husband?" are questions I hear on the regular. But usually it is coming from a place of curiosity.
Bali is hands down the easiest place I've ever travelled alone in and Myanmar was the most challenging (largely due to language and infrastructure).
I love that I can get to do this - there is so much freedom in it that I never experience in anything else. I'm also lucky that I have a lot of friends who solo travel too, so that I can get to vicariously live through them from time to time.
(Thought I'd make this little carousel of points to consider for those of you curious about solo travel)
