@SharLivingstone Hi #TTOT
A1: You meet a lot more people travelling solo then in a group or as couple I found and I really enjoy it.

A1 Travelling solo at a young age taught me that I was independent & capable of speaking to most anyone regardless of language limitations & that it was pure fascination to enter into the world of other cultures. First solo trip abroad: 3 months in Mexico #TTOT Image @pixabay

A1. Self-reliance and self-confidence (important lessons for all other parts of life). Human nature is to avoid difficulties, but solo-travel throws you in at the deep end. And you'll find that you can swim after all. And you'll grow in confidence #TTOT

Q1 via @SharLivingstone What has travelling solo taught you that travelling with others didn't? A1 That I'm rubbish at meeting strangers, but when I finally manage to do it I make some really good friends for life #TTOT

A1: traveling solo taught me I like the sound of my own thoughts better than the jabber of some travel mates! 🙄 (You asked!) It taught me that many people you meet LOVE to share info on their own locales, too! 😍 #TTOT

@SonjaSwissLife @SharLivingstone A1. Independence.
I can deal with being lost, getting sick, and having my passport stolen in a foreign country without much stress.

A1. To be independant but not be afraid of asking for help. to appeciate small things that may well be missed when in company. #ttot

A1 All the decisions are yours. The good, the bad, the regrettable. It has helped me to make quick decisions when I'm not travelling because my instincts are better #TTOT https://t.co/UGT3RqptsN

@wheresshellyii @SharLivingstone A1 traveling alone, I have found out that I can start up a conversation with anyone. No, seriously. ANYONE!
Not being tied to talking to just one person, I can observe those around me and make witty comments as I go. #TTOT
