Do you like to travel alone?

I am a person who likes to travel, but rarely travels alone. Regarding this topic, I would like to share my feelings.

Some friends choose to travel alone when they encounter difficulties, setbacks, frustrations in love, and are in a bad mood. There are even many people who are married and have children, leaving their lovers and children behind and calling My friend even went on a trip alone for a period of time, which I think is inappropriate.

Before I got married, I seldom traveled. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to travel, but I thought that I would have a family, a lover, and children in the future. I wanted to take my family with me to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers. So, until I got married and had children, I resisted the idea of ??going out.

After the birth of my child, I began to turn my travel ideas into actions. Every year I drive around with my wife and children to experience the travel life and appreciate the various aspects of life.

In my opinion, the reason why I don’t travel alone is because I have love and responsibility, and I want to share it with my most beloved and closest people.

In my opinion, traveling alone means leaving behind family and friends and experiencing every bit of the journey alone. But for me, I prefer to take my wife and children with me as a family of four. Sitting in a closed carriage, you can freely ride on the journey. You can go and stop when you want. You don’t have to worry about your friends’ thoughts and demands, and you don’t have to share your feelings with outsiders. You can just enjoy the journey with the people closest to you. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and experience the ups and downs of travel.

From this perspective, Xiaojia is just an enlarged self. Taking Xiaojia on a trip is also a lonely journey.

In fact, everyone has his own lonely side, and even as he grows older, he will more or less begin to yearn for the feeling of loneliness. For me, I especially like the time when I go to and from get off work every day. I am driving on the road alone with my thoughts flying. This feels very good. When you travel alone, you don’t need to care about other people’s opinions, opinions, or ideas, and you don’t have to be accommodating. You can travel and experience according to your own intentions. Maybe no one will share your feelings, but you can also feel the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in your heart. , it is a wonderful experience to be able to hear your inner demands more clearly.

When traveling alone, you are not only far away from everything you are familiar with, but also without the company and support of your partners. Everything on the journey has to be faced and solved by yourself. At this time, you will be forced to Learn to face, think about problems, and find solutions on your own, and in the process experience the joy of achievement, examine your own personality traits and heart, and through this kind of introspection, you can often find a better version of yourself.

I quite like traveling alone!

I personally think travel and tourism are two different things.

Traveling is a happy process and the result is also happy. It is a way to relieve stress!

Traveling and practicing it, you may experience some difficulties in the process, but the result is that you will be rewarded after all the hardships. It is a manifestation of spiritual cultivation, you will have a feeling of gaining a lot, and you will also have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction!

In 2017, I invited three or four people to ride the Yunnan-Tibet Line. When it was time to set off, they all rejected me for various reasons. It’s up to you! Should I give up, but I didn’t!

In Dali, I spent 600 yuan to buy a Phoenix bicycle and some equipment. It cost about 1,000 yuan a day. For me who have no riding experience, I know how to prepare it. water and compressed biscuits. Along the 214 National Highway, Dali-Lijiang-Shangri-La-Deqin-Yanjing-Mangkang. Mangkang is the intersection of National Highway 318 and 214. Starting from Mangkang, you follow National Highway 318 to Lhasa. The whole journey is about 2,000 kilometers and lasts 19 days. Appreciate the beauty of Dali, the beauty of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Blue Moon Valley in the ancient city of Lijiang, taste the religious atmosphere of the Dukezong Ancient City and the Little Potala Palace Songzanlin Monastery, hike in Yubeng to see the body of Kawagebo, and climb over the Hongla Mountain Poe's despair. The place where three rivers flow together is really tortured. The Jinsha River, Lancang River, Nu River, among them the Hengduan Mountains, and the 72 bends of the Nu River. It is exciting to think about it. The highest Dongda Mountain is 5130 meters above sea level, which is almost as high as Lhasa. Lashan 5013 meters. When I arrived at my destination in Lhasa, I thought I was dreaming. After experiencing all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, I achieved success and felt a great sense of accomplishment for myself. I did it! Meeting a lot of friends and seeing a lot of things is a harvest for me!

In 2008, the country began to implement paid leave. It was once a year at first, but now it has become twice a year as I work longer. Basically one person. I also took family or friends out, but most of the time I went out alone. From home to abroad. I am 37 years old and still unmarried. In fact, when I first started traveling, I hoped to meet my significant other and take her to my previous places. Later, I gradually got used to being alone and enjoying the freedom of being alone. Love is always Just let it go. Okay, let’s talk about traveling. I basically travel twice a year now, once domestically and once overseas. In fact, the overseas travels are mostly to Thailand. I have also been to Nepal once, alone, and traveled around on my own. It was fun to stay there for two more days.

Anyway, I didn’t choose any particularly popular tourist attractions in Thailand. I usually found an island and stayed there for seven or eight days. Then go to Bangkok for another three or four days, maybe ten days at a time, and enjoy your vacation leisurely. I didn't feel particularly lonely either.

I have lost count of how many cities I have been to. Let me introduce myself briefly:

I am a young woman born in the 1990s, a freelancer, and suffer from travel sickness. patient. Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, the only thing I insisted on was traveling.

I still remember the first time I traveled alone was to Xiamen, where I worked as a volunteer in a coffee villa on Gulangyu Island. That wonderful experience made me completely obsessed with traveling. The photo below is of the coffee villa back then, but when the photo was taken, things had changed.

Afterwards, a person traveled to many cities at home and abroad. The first time I traveled abroad was alone. When I graduated from college and had never been abroad before, I said I wanted to travel abroad alone for one and a half months, to three countries: Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The classmates around me think that I am just talking about it and are not optimistic that I can actually achieve it. As a result, I did it, and in the process I met many interesting friends and got a feel for life on a Thai farm. Later, I basically went abroad at least once a year, and began to record my life with photos and words.

When talking about why I travel alone, I feel a little helpless because I don’t have a suitable travel companion. But after you have the experience of traveling alone, you will discover the charm of traveling alone and like traveling alone.

Traveling alone is actually a dialogue between yourself and yourself. You spend a lot of time just by yourself. You have a lot of time to think clearly about your own confusions, and you will understand yourself more clearly.

And on one’s journey, one slowly becomes stronger. Because when encountering problems and situations, no one else can help except myself. You will think of all possible situations in advance, think of response plans, and prepare for the worst.

It will be easier to meet new friends when traveling alone, and you will become willing to take the initiative to contact and share with people you don’t know. For example, youth hostels are a good place to meet new people. Sometimes all it takes is a look or a smile to start a conversation.

Of course, traveling alone will also encounter many situations. For example, when you go to the restroom while eating, you are afraid that the waiter will take away the tableware, or you have to carry your luggage with you when you go to the restroom... It's not as scary as you think. Looking back, you will feel great!

I like to travel alone. Traveling alone does not mean that I am unsociable and cannot get along well with others. But I think traveling alone is a kind of practice and a state. A person can adapt to the bustle of a group of people, and at the same time know how to enjoy the time alone.

For a period of time, I was very depressed. I stayed at home all day, and my spirit was about to collapse. I almost suffered from depression. Later, I thought; I can't be so decadent anymore. I should cheer up and get back to the sunny, confident and energetic me I once was. I want to become stronger.

I decided to find myself through travel, so I planned a trip to the destination - Tibet.

Carrying only a travel bag, I traveled lightly and boarded the train bound for Tibet. I bought a hard-seat ticket and my seat was by the window. This is exactly my favorite position. I love riding in the train. The position by the window, because you can see the scenery outside the window very well, and it is close to the small table, is more convenient for sleeping on the stomach or putting things.

The train started on time. I don’t know why, from the moment the train started, I seemed to be in a much better mood. It seemed that the train started taking away my bad mood.

Sitting in the same seat as me was a middle-aged woman and a boy about 13 years old, who looked like a mother and son. Sitting opposite were two middle-aged men and a young woman. The two middle-aged men must be co-workers, and they are chatting. There were two buckets placed under their seats (the kind of buckets that were filled with industrial oil) filled with daily necessities, instant noodles, etc. The lady was about 36 years old and dressed very smartly, like a white-collar worker. I didn't see the lady talking to anyone else, so she probably didn't know each other.

Looking out the car window, I saw tall buildings for a while, green trees for a while, darkness (when passing through the tunnel), and water and sky for a while. I took the initiative to talk to the lady opposite: "Which stop are you getting off at?" She said: "Get off at the terminal station", and I said: "Me too." I continued, "Looking at your tall figure, you should be from the north, right?" She said, "Yes! You have good eyesight." I said, "In my impression, northerners are all so tall. I didn't expect to be I guessed it right"...

After arriving in Tibet, I was deeply attracted by the beauty here, the white snow-capped mountains, white clouds, blue sky, there are clouds in the mountains, and there are clouds in the clouds. Mountain, seeing such beautiful scenery, I feel particularly comfortable...

Traveling alone is not as good as you think

Many times, the reason why you want to travel alone People may travel because they are influenced by some books or film and television works, because the "travel alone" they describe is very cool. It is precisely because of this that many people have the idea of ??traveling alone.

Anyway, in my opinion, "traveling alone" just sounds nice. If you want to have fun, I recommend you not to travel alone!

I personally had a very painful experience. I remember that I made a friend during my freshman year, and I went to her apartment to hang out with her on the weekends. But she stopped going because of some family reasons, but since she was here and there was nothing I could do, I went out to play by myself.

Although you only need to take care of yourself when it comes to food, accommodation and entertainment. If you bring enough money to eat whatever you want, you don’t need to worry about other people’s feelings!

But there are many shortcomings. I remember when I went to Yangshuo, people were walking in groups when walking alone on the street. A group of people had a reference for what they wanted to eat and drink. . But I could only wander around the joint and eat by myself. I ordered a lot of food that I liked, but I just didn’t feel like it by myself, so I didn’t finish the food.

And you are eating alone and shopping alone. The tourists around you look at you a little strangely. All in all, traveling alone is really not fun. Don’t travel alone just to be cool or because you’re in a bad mood, because traveling alone is really sad.

Anyway, after that experience, I have never traveled alone again!

I love it so much

When traveling alone, you don’t have to look around, you don’t have to worry about other people’s feelings about food, drink, accommodation, and where to go or how much it will cost. And arguing, how nice.

And you can go wherever you want to play alone, and have fun as you like.

Actually, I think that the reason why I go shopping alone is not because I am unsociable, not good at talking, or introverted, but because I really like to be alone. Especially now that I'm married, there should be many compatriots who, like me, like to spend time alone quietly.

I have been to five provinces during my self-driving trip, the farthest being to Shaanxi Province, and I basically visited all of one province. Everywhere I go, I try to experience the local delicacies. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste to get the specialties? I prefer to eat spinach noodles from Shaanxi. I think this is the most delicious noodle I have ever eaten in Shaanxi. With some garlic, it is delicious.

I have been to Hubei myself, but I walked from the north of Hubei to Shaanxi. Noodles. Hubei’s delicacies. I only like Wuhan hot dry noodles. I can eat five bowls. Paired with a bowl of noodle soup, it is the best in the world.

Anyway, traveling alone is good, especially I like self-driving travel. I don't care whether I sleep in the car or in a hotel. I can sleep when I want to and leave when I want. I don't care about what time I sleep until I sleep or whether I am noisy until I fall asleep. When you encounter a good scenery, just take it with your mobile phone and keep it as a souvenir.

I often travel alone.

I like to wander aimlessly when traveling alone, no matter the famous mountains and rivers, and experience the different local customs. Chase horses in the prairie, watch the sunset and sunrise at the beach, shop for small items in the old streets, and look for authentic food in the alleys.

I remember that in Jinxi County, Jiangxi, my friend took me to eat Shaohua rice noodles. As soon as I took my mouth, I felt so good. Shaohua Rice Noodles is open every day. I go there every night and eat at least 2 servings. I am very satisfied without eating anything for a whole day! In Guiyang and Guizhou, I went to the Erqi Food Plaza in the evening. The dazzling array of local specialty snacks were so delicious, but it was a pity that I only had one stomach and could only stay for 2 days. I didn’t eat enough at all!

Like it! But also a little scared.

I remember when I was more than 20 years old, I took a train from Changchun Station to Jilin alone at night. The eyes of some young men of the opposite sex in the car were looking at me vaguely. Two of my best classmates in high school said that my eyes were a bit wild, but I didn't feel that way.

But I hope my eyes will kill all evil instantly!

In any case, it feels so insecure to ride alone like this! My heartbeat also accelerated, so I started to wander from car to car, looking for my safe place!

Suddenly, at the connection between the two carriages, where the lights were dim, two policemen were found
