Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own
?/p>
not because they
have no one to travel with
?/p>
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.?/p>
Wegscheider
has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries
?/p>
with no one to help you read a map
?/p>
look after you if you get
ill
?/p>
or
lend
you
money
if
your
wallet
is
stolen
?/p>
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
?/p>
The
Aussie
Nomad
?/p>
to document his adventures.He says he
wished he had traveled alone
earlier.“The
people you meet
?/p>
the places you visit
?/p>
or
the
things
you
do
?/p>
everything
is
up
to
you
and
it
forces
you
to
grow
as
a
person
,?/p>
said the
30yearold
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 conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day
when
I’m
dealing with a difficult
task.?/p>
“I
walk around with my head up because
I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you
try.?/p>
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.?/p>
