You Should Travel Solo at Least Once in your Life
It’s worth the experience — a journey to explore the world around you and inside of you.
I’m gearing up for my latest trip to Japan and it’ll be the very first time I visit the country solo after 4 other trips with different people previously.
Solo travel has always been a remedy for me. I always come away feeling rejuvenated and reenergised but since getting into a long-term relationship, these trips are a lot harder to come by as I prefer sharing the travel experience together with my partner.
But since turning 30, I wanted to do something special for myself. So off to Japan I go for a week long trip, snowboarding in the famous Niseko area of Northern Japan.
It’s been about 5 years since my last solo trip and leading into the day that I fly, I’ve been feeling quite nostalgic and reminiscent on why exactly I enjoy the time to myself overseas, and why these trips are a must for everyone.

And since no one knows who you are, you can be completely yourself (or build into a new version of yourself). Without carrying the burden of your image that you had back home…
