Girl's trip for one please!
If there is one thing that millennials are encouraged to do in their prime years, it is to travel, travel, travel! According to an article published by Forbes, traveling is “an antidote to fear” and helps you see the world in a greater scope than how one is used to. And what better time to face the ambiguity of the world than in your 20’s? These are the formative years of authentic independence and freedom. Traveling is an amazing opportunity that everyone should have the chance to experience. But, if you’re really looking to push the boundaries of your comfort zone why not dive into the unknown and travel solo?
The thought of literally venturing into the world on your own is incredibly daunting. According to another article done by Forbes, there are so many rewarding benefits of traveling solo. These include confidence, self-discovery, and the chance to make new connections.
