12 Reasons Why Traveling Alone is The Move

Your life is an adventure, but some adventures are better alone. Sure a game of beer pong with your friends sounds fun, but sometimes you need to grab your Jansport backpack and experience life for yourself.

1. Your friends can’t photobomb your epic selfie

2. You’re more likely to notice awesome things around you

Yea, that’s what you missed while your friend was yapping in your ear about the NFL Draft / episode of whatever is on HBO right now.

3. No sharing your packed lunch

Because, sandwiches. You know?

4. You’ll realize it’s pretty easy to make new friends

Stranger: Hey is that a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich?

You: Yea.

Stranger: I like Peanut Butter.

You: Me too.

<3 The rest was history <3

5. You can listen to 2 Chainz instead of discussing art in the museum

“Uh, cut the top off, call it Amber Rose Just bought a big body, time to paint the toes.” - 2 Chainz discussing Rembrandt

6. You can get your nerd on in peace

No one will know! Except you… you’ll know :(

7. You won’t be judged for writing in your gournal

Some people will never understand the power of the gournal. Just me, myself and I.

8. You get to choose your own adventure

So figure out what to do and don’t beat yourself up about it.

9. There’s NO ONE to slow you down

Just walls. Watch out for walls. They WILL slow you down.

10. You’ll be forced to immerse yourself in the culture

Say it with me now, BO-DE-GAS.

11. You’re the boss and you do what you want

12. Everyone will be super happy when you return

Although some of those people may make you want to go back out into the world. It happens.

Wherever your travels may lead you, it's important you have all the essentials packed. So, grab a Jansport Backpack and head out there slugger, the world is waiting for you.
