Why traveling alone can change you?

Traveling solol in Bali

Hello you, welcome to my blog!

I’m Marine, and if you don’t know me yet, I’m an expert in solo travel!After several small trips to Peru, Japan, and Bali, I took the plunge and embarked on a year-long solo world tour.And yes, I say it loud and clear: traveling alone has changed my life.

Today, I’m sharing with you 4 reasons why traveling solo transformed me 🦋

1. Freedom

   
   

The first time I traveled alone, my heart started racing.Not when I boarded the plane, but when I booked the ticket.When I realized that I was in charge.That at any moment, I could buy a ticket to the other side of the world and go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.

That feeling of intense freedom stayed with me throughout my trip and even after:I am free to do whatever I want, so I’m going for it!

2. Isolation

   
   

Yeah, I know, it sounds almost depressing when you put it that way.But isolating myself—or rather, distancing myself from my loved ones, my environment, my country—helped me change deeply.

A place where customs were different, where no one expected anything from me, allowed me to rewrite my story.To give myself permission to be whoever I wanted, in the way I dressed, behaved, consumed.Free from others’ judgment.

3. Discovering Others

Even though I traveled alone, I’ve never been a lone wolf.I always need to connect with others, and traveling solo allowed me to meet new people almost every day.

Whether it was local residents or travelers like me, traveling alone helped me meet people I would never have crossed paths with otherwise.People who often shared their warmth, their culture, and ways of seeing life I’d never imagined before.

4. Discovering Myself

Alone, far from my familiar world, my culture, my “rules,” I adapted to a new lifestyle, a new environment. And I started to transform.

I realized there were things I did to please others, to look cool or kind or “polite,” that I didn’t need to do anymore once I was far away from my world.I understood that I was carrying an identity that wasn’t really mine—the identity of a girl who lacked confidence and sometimes played the victim to get pity.

I saw what I was capable of.I understood that everything was in my hands.That I was free to travel, but above all free to write my own story.

And I promised myself I would never go back. 

So if you, too, want to leave…

If you want to allow yourself to live for you,

Even if it’s just for a few days,

To start this journey toward a more aligned version of yourself…
