Travel is important because it fundamentally transforms us. By taking a break from your daily life, unplugging from the pulls and pushes of technology and engaging in new activities in new places, it is easier release unwanted habits. Also, it is empowering to surround yourself with people who don't know the encyclopedia of your past. It reinforces your willingness to broaden your horizons, to get unstuck and to move in new directions. Choosing to travel alone for pleasure however is not very common since it considered unsafe to do so. Its true that in the past travelling alone was considered to be hard, inconvenient and fraught with risks. But all of that is changing as more and more people seek to travel alone thereby forcing participants of the travel economy to cater to the growing demand.
