Solo Travelling

Batanes is my dream destination here in Philippines. So upon knowing that Sky Jet Air got a seat sale last 2013 , there was no second thought , I've asked a colleague to do me a favor on buying me 2 way-ticket at Travel Expo.

As we all know, during these days, majority is capable to travel, it became part of our life. A privilege and an option. Since it was a travel treat for myself , I have also decided to travel solo, since I haven't done it when I was single and very seldom I see an individual travel solo. (curiosity strikes)

This might be a late post but the experienced I've had is still vivid and had this urge of discussing, just want to reminisce about solitude.

So, here are my thoughts / opinion on solo travelling . It is based on my experience, it might have its pros or cons. Neither, it still an experience worth remembering! *smile*

1. Independence. You can go anywhere and anytime you want. There is this freedom when it comes on decision making.

2. You will enjoy a different kind of silence. It's spiritual for me . Tranquility. Solitude. Reflection. Indeed, its somewhat divine!

3. However, boredom strikes when you're in the hotel. It's should be time of talking to friends or special someone about the whole day event , how it went out, and talking it over a cup of coffee or beer. Eto yung ... tawanan dapat! Kulitan bago matulog! Tamang trip lang at sentimyento sa buhay. Bonding moment ika nga!

4. Got a problem 'tho on who will gonna take a few camera shots of me . BUT since MONOPOD was in demand during that time. I bought one and, problem solved. IT'S SELFIE TIME!!Selfie pa more!!!Hahaha

5. You may also talk to a stranger and befriending them.

6. Security. Yes, of course, you will not go to a place if you know you are not safe ,right? For as long as you know how to read. Do your research. I also did. I've read a LOT of travel blog so I will know which is the safest place to go to.

At least , I am proud to say that I did it once in my life and Im looking for a second try. It may not be nowadays , because I already have my priorities. Maybe, someday and I know it will be fun! : )
