Not every country is safe to be considered for solo travel but Europe is not on that list. Although necessary precautions should be taken, countries like Ireland, Germany, Iceland, etc are safe for solo traveling. Most of the travelers live in hostels instead of booking hotels. This can help you save money and you can spend your money on discovering more of the city instead. 

  • Feel the magic of solitude 

We as humans, dread the thought of being alone and it is almost impossible for us to spend some time alone by ourselves for more than a few hours. Taking a solo trip will help you gain clarity of thought and you will be more comfortable and confident in spending some time alone. 

  •  Travel however you like

Traveling in groups or with someone requires you to make certain adjustments and your trip may not go as planned. This can lead to a bit of disappointment in general and you will never know when you may visit again. By taking a solo trip, you can prepare your own list of places where you’d like to go and explore places to your heart’s content. 

  • Understand the true sense of accomplishment 

Taking a trip to a foreign country all by yourself is a brave thing to do. Once you understand what you can accomplish alone as an individual, it will encourage you to take more risks in life and take a chance at other things as well. 

  • Make friends across countries

Living in hostels, finding your way through different streets and engaging with locals will help you know the culture of different countries and in the process, you will make friends. Getting to know people from different countries, ethnicities, and places will change you as a person and will alter your perception.

So here are some reasons why you should take a solo trip to Europe. There is no doubt that you will face challenges and difficulties bag packing through each country but each hurdle will help you get stronger and more confident and by the time your trip comes to an end, you will realize how much you can learn just by traveling solo for a few days.
