WHY EVERYONE SHOULD GO ON A SOLO HOLIDAY AT LEAST ONCE

November 10, 2017

Travelling with your friends and family and loved ones is one of the most beautiful experiences you can have in your life. And normally that is what we think of when we talk about travelling, spending some relaxing time in a new city, surrounded by the people who matter. However, there is another way to travel, which yields a totally different experience and perspective. And that way is, travelling solo. Travelling on your own may seem quite daunting at the beginning. But if you can get rid of that fear, take the first step and start your journey, you can be sure to have an experience which you have never had in your life, no matter how well-travelled a human being you are. A solo trip can be extremely rewarding and even life-altering – and there are the top reasons why you must try a solo holiday , at least once.

Discover yourself

This may sound like a cliche, but it is actually very true. You see, back home you have all your friends and family to be with. But going on a solo trip means you have to spend a lot of time with yourself. Now that might sound a little bit sad, but that can actually be a great thing. You will have a lot of time to explore yourself, ponder upon things which you didn’t have the time to think about during your busy schedule. Moreover, exploring new places gives a sense of achievement as well, so that will help to boost your confidence. Most of the travellers who go on a solo trip, come back as a better version of themselves, so that is certainly something to be excited about.

It is all about the destination

Travelling on your own means there will be much less things to distract you from the destination you are travelling to. Yes, travelling with your friends and family is great and fun. But that also translates to losing out on the precious vacation time you have to properly explore the destination you are travelling to. Travelling solo takes all those problems away, and let you focus on the destination itself. You will have a lot more opportunities to explore the place you are travelling to, and have a much more authentic travel experience which you otherwise would not have.

Meet new people

While travelling with friends and family ensures that you have people around you while you travel to some new city, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t have anyone to strike up a conversation with during your vacation days. A solo trip is the best time to meet new people from around the world and make new friends. Hit it up with some of the fellow travellers, or join in on a conversation with the locals. Solo travel is the best way to make friends and share some beautiful memories and experiences with them.

Sound of the Ocean: Plenty of Good Reasons to Choose a Beachfront Resort

Travel Tips

“Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside.” Those old music hall songwriters knew a thing or two. Seaside vacations may come and go in fashion, but they will never be far from the top of the scale. Families love them and, when it comes to true relaxation, the sort that sets you up for productive work, there is nothing quite like the beach.

Skin Tonic

Your skin is the biggest organ of your body and it is the way nature communicates between you and your environment, so it is important to keep it healthy.

Sunshine on the skin (in limited amounts) produces the vitamin D which is essential for many aspects of healthy skin and bones. 10 minutes or so on the beach will do the trick.

Your skin is constantly being renewed as old cells die off. Sand is a brilliant exfoliant, especially on the soles of your feet. Walking on the beach is like a reflexology session in itself.

Seawater is full of the nutrients and salts which promote healthy skin and rapidly heal wounds and infections.

Healthy Body

Although you may associate a beach holiday with idleness, in fact, the beach is constantly inspiring you to exercise more than you would at home or work.

Swimming, of course, is tremendous exercise, and just walking in water is a good workout. Walking or running on sand uses far more muscles and energy than doing the same on a hard surface.

Beaches abound with opportunities for exercise. Think about all the activities you associate with your beach trips in the past: softball, volleyball, frisbee, cycling, even building sand castles. They all burn up the calories. Some beach hotels provide guests with a wide range of sporting activities. The Marriott Hilton Head resort in South Carolina is a good example, with tennis courts, golf courses, and watersports.

All this activity, combined with the air that you can only breathe by the sea, will help you to sleep better than you have done for months. Sleep is the great regenerator of human bodies, and most experts agree that we do not get enough of it.

Healthy Mind

The greatest benefit of the beach is the almost miraculous way in which it helps you to relax. As soon as you arrive, you will find yourself taking deep breaths. The healthy air and the sound of the waves have a mesmerizing effect on the nervous system, releasing serotonin which are nature’s own feel-good gift to your brain.

Anyone who suffers from the effects of stress or depression will almost always be helped by a few days on the beach. The light, the sounds, and the exercise all combine to combat the effects of modern living.

Get Beside the Sea

A beach vacation may not furnish you with adventures that will impress everyone in the office when you go back to work, but it will certainly do what a vacation is meant to: refresh you in mind and body for the weeks that lie ahead.
