Is it better to travel alone or with a group?

It is better to be alone, and it is better to travel together than to travel together.

Traveling alone can be very free. You can go wherever you want. You can make your own itinerary, or you may not decide at all. Wherever you go, it all depends on your mood.

A person can travel easily and casually, and there is no need to accommodate other people’s opinions and preferences during travel, accommodation, food and transportation. As long as you determine your time, you can book a suitable flight ticket immediately. If you see a good youth hostel online, you can go there. As for traveling by bus or taking a taxi, whether you want to go to the night market to eat and drink, it doesn’t matter. You have the final say.

In the experience of traveling together, there will indeed be disagreements due to inconsistencies in these aspects. Some people are willing to compromise but are still unhappy in the end, and some people do not want to accommodate everyone and can only play their own way in the end. So it is indeed much easier for one person to do these things.

A person can also spend more time with himself. Traveling alone to a strange place is not only about admiring the scenery and experiencing a different way of life, but also taking the opportunity to withdraw from the familiar living environment, quietly explore your own heart, and enjoy the quiet time alone.

If you have a compatible travel companion, traveling together will actually bring you a lot of different happiness.

You can take photos together, go shopping together, taste local food together, laugh together and complain together. With someone traveling together, you can share the immediate joy of traveling and exchange your own feelings and experiences, which are not available when you are alone.

Especially when you travel for a long time and happen to catch a cold or get a little sick on the way, you will feel the warmth and security of having friends around you even more. When I traveled to Hangzhou alone, I caught a bad cold and lay in my room for a day. In the end, I had to go home early.

So both modes of travel have their own advantages, but the most important thing is the mentality. The perfect trip is one where you can enjoy the freedom of traveling alone and share the happiness of being with others.
