Good morning. Welcome to today’s lecture. Today, we will focus on solo travelling. While it’s fun to travel with family or friends, or go on a romantic vacation with your significant other, there’s nothing like solo travelling to open your eyes and soul to the amazing experiences the world has to offer.
    When you’re on your own, you have the freedom to do almost whatever you want without worrying about disappointing someone in the group. You can map your own route, plan your own itinerary (旅行计划), and make any last minute changes as you please.
    Whether you’re used to living independently or you find comfort in kin, you’ll find that travelling alone is a breath of fresh air. Not only are there countless reasons to travel alone, there are also many life lessons to learn from the experience. Here are some of them:
    Yes, you’re just a tiny dot in this enormous world but solo travelling shows you that the entire world is your home, that you are in the position to enjoy and experience everything it has in store. You have the freedom to go wherever you want, do whatever you want to do. Travelling in groups may hold you back as you would need to consider other people’s preferences but when you go on a journey by yourself; it is a lot easier to make the most out of the experience.
    Pack lightly and leave your high maintenance attitude back at home. If there’s one thing you’re going to learn from your solo adventures, it’s that you’re going to have a lot more fun if you let loose and just roll with the punches. Expect that there will be countless hardships along the way, but you can’t let any of these stop you from having a worthwhile trip.
    No matter how tough things get, you have to remember there’s always a silver lining somewhere, even in the darkest of clouds. Looking at the positive side of things has become second nature among those who travel alone frequently. The tougher the challenges are, the tougher you become.
    Solo travelling will definitely change you, more often than not, for the better. It changes your outlook, persona and attitude. It alters how you react to situations. It makes you more creative, more resourceful, more flexible, and more open to new ideas and experiences. You never would have thought that you could become this person, but travelling alone does this and more to you. Hope you will benefit from today’s lecture. Thank you!
