At some point in your life, you should travel alone. Pick a new, unexplored part of the world, buy a round trip ticket, and set off with a loose itinerary and an open mind. Travelling alone will give you the freedom to do exactly what you want to do and open up opportunities to try new, adventurous things that will be the foundation of stories you tell for the rest of your life.
However, if you’re horribly uncomfortable alone and unsure what to do without guidance, life can quickly become a chore. Silly as it may sound, you spend more time with yourself than anyone else, so learning to have a good time by yourself is a seriously useful skill to pick up. Travel can be fun with others, but going it alone can be a chance to test yourself, to see what you’re made of, and to, hopefully, find a sense of contentment with yourself.
