Now
many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they
have no one to travel with, but because they
prefer to go alone.
Kristina
Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something
everyone should do at least once in their life." It opens up your mind to
new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone. " Wegscheider has
visited 46 countries and regions covering all seven continents.
In
foreign countries, with no one to help you
read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is
stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It
is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on
their own.
Chris
Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last
year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He
said he wished he had traveled alone earlier." The people you meet, the
places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces
you to grow as a person," said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson
describes traveling alone like" a shot in the arm", which" makes
you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything". He said,"
The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what
drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with
my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you
try."
The
great 19th century explorer John Muir once said," Only by going alone in
silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. "
