The first trip could act as a hurdle. Having overcome that, you will prove that you can do it, as also others. Solo travel is more than liberating to women travelers. It proves to you that you can rise to various challenges and hurdles lying before you. This also gives you the strength to move on and prepare for another trip. When venturing forth on any solo trip, you realize that you have various opportunities to come out of your self-imposed comfort zone, and you learn how you are going to fare when you are out of your comfort zone. When you remain rooted in your comfortable corner, you realise the too many distractions at work, among your friends and family, with work taking much of your time. You have no time to reflect upon life’s moments. A solo trip helps you switch off as you need to catch up on yourself with no external inputs. Devote some time for yourself.
