5 Ways Traveling Solo Prepares You For Success
Solo traveling is one of the boldest things i have done in my life. It made me who I am today.
Yes, I know it is daunting but i would encourage anyone to do it at least once their life. It does not have to be a backpacking trip for six months in Sri-lanka.
It could be a long weekend get-away to the other side of the country. Sure the furthest you go, the more you get out of your comfort zone. But traveling is also expensive.
I solo traveled in the Balkans and South East Asia (but not as a back-packer) . Now looking back, this part of my journey instilled an unbelievable level of confidence in me.
Here are 5 ways it can make you more successful in life:
1. Your self-awareness goes through the roof
When you are on your own in an unknown place, you automatically learn to rely on yourself and your own thoughts.
You start listening to yourself more (because there is nobody around to hear your chats).
In the process you observe your own behaviour: how you react to certain situations when you can depend on nobody but yourself.
