Remember the more you travel, the more you’ll learn about the world and life. It’s a given default, that after any trip you do in life, you’ll upgrade your life. The ones close to you, will surely notice the difference. After living a week somewhere else, you’ll never return back the same person. Your mind and soul will widen…
It’s only when you travel solo, that you really get time to sit by yourself. Some soul searching is done, on what life has been since your last holiday. It’s the perfect opportunity to access life, make changes and alterations, if needed.
We all have our zones and 95% of the people in the world will live their whole life in this comfort zone and think life has been completed. But if you think, you fall in the remaining 5% then take the courage and forget your friends. It’s time to move forward.
In a country like India, you are never really independent. Around 88% of people live their entire life with their parents or family. It’s just the way our culture is, but if freedom is what you seek then a solo backpacking trip is the solution to your current travel crisis.
If nothing changes after a solo trip, one thing that will surely never be the same is your confidence. We all face confidence issues at some stage in our daily life. Solo travel will push you out of your comfort zone so much, that confidence is something that will come on its own. Remember, no one knows you, so you won’t be judged.
So basically Backpacking is just like regular travel but the only difference here is the aim is to do it in a budget by experiencing the place like a local would. Luxury hotels are replaced by cozy home stays, SUV’s by public transportation, Main difference you spend less than a fraction of what you would normally spend on a holiday. At least a good 50-60% lesser than a normal vacation.
It’s pretty much pushing your mental game more than physical, but the life experience you will gain after a backpacking trip is something beyond what a normal Tour&Travel holiday in a 5 star resort can ever match up to.
The best part about backpacking is the friends you make along the way & that’s something only those who have backpacked before will be able to relate to!
The dream is to take tlow to 196 countries!
