Loneliness is the hardest thing to deal with I’d say when you travel, maybe not the first time, but after the second time.
Sometimes you want to see places, do things, but you can’t do it simply because you’d like your friends to be with you at the snap of a finger to experience what you’re experiencing with you. Sharing has always been my kiff, I need intensity in my life and to do things with passion, otherwise I get bored very quickly.
I feel like I know Bali a little better than my own country, that I’m more touched by this country than my own. I mean, above all, the culture and the local people touch me enormously. I’ve been traveling since I was a little girl, and we moved almost every year, so I’m not particularly attached to my own country.
I like to share my experiences with you by writing, at least it’s immortalized!
This is just my opinion, not a general one.
It’s out of the question to write negative things, opinions on what I didn’t like, it’s very important for me to tell you only about what I liked, because everyone will have their own opinion on the places, the attractions, the food. What I like won’t always be to everyone’s taste. Between Indonesian restaurants, hotels/hostels and sometimes expensive attractions that are really worth it. So let’s move on to the pros and cons of traveling solo.
Advantages
– You never get bored with yourself.
– No obligations, just freedom.
– No one can put you in a bad mood but yourself.
– You do what you want, when you want, where you want. You’re in control of what you want.
– You meet people. My most memorable encounters were with locals. I fell in love with their philosophy, which I found extremely rich in knowledge and interesting.
-If you need help, ask around.
– Get out of your comfort zone. – Let yourself be guided by your own desires.
– You’re never really alone.
Disadvantages
– Feeling alone.
– Making friends when you’re an introvert can be tricky (believe me, I know what I’m talking about).
– Tourists sometimes don’t respect your limits when you’re out alone, so it’s up to you to make them respect you.
As you may have noticed, there are more positives than negatives. That’s how I felt about my various experiences as a solo traveler. Of course, there were times when I felt very alone, but out of that loneliness came ideas that I still have today. So thank you to all the people who inspired me.
