Pushing limits

Traveling forces you out of your comfort zone.

You know and feel comfortable with all the people in the school: the teachers, the friends, the parents, and other school workers.

Traveling means new foods, cultures, language, people, and places to explore. It helps you grow as a person.

Travelling Solo

Travelling Solo

Travelling alone can be the ultimate in self-indulgence: You can do what you want to do and rest when you want. Your mistakes are your own, and your triumphs are more exciting.

...

General Safety When Traveling Alone

  • Do your homework. Know how long it takes and how much it costs to get from the airport to your hotel.
  • Arrive during the day. Areas around bus and train stations can be scary or deserted, and small towns tend to shut down early.
  • Book a hotel with a 24-hour front desk if you'll be arriving late.
  • Check your maps and transportation schedules before leaving your hotel/rental car.
  • Register with the State Department. U.S. citizens travelling internationally can consider signing up for the free Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). It could assist you in case of an emergency.

Personal Safety When Traveling Alone

  • Stick to open and public places, especially at night.
  • Trust yourself. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.
  • Appear confident. Walk confidently and with direction. If you are lost, walk into a shop or restaurant and ask for directions. Don't let on that you are alone.
  • Leave a copy of your itinerary with a family member at home, and keep regular contact via phone, text, etc.
  • Trust everyone and no one. While you might want to meet new people, it makes you more vulnerable. Be open-minded, but keep your guard up enough to ensure your safety.

Lessons that travelling will teach you

  1. To be more patient when things do not go as planned - and it happens on every trip. 
  2. To leave your comfort zone. It's exhilarating to forget what's familiar for a bit and expand your horizons.
  3. To be more curious. Being in new territory will probe new ideas and curiosities.
  4. To appreciate other cultures. 
  5. To live simply. You can survive with very, very little.
  6. To make friends with strangers as travelling make you desperate for human interaction.
  7. ...but to also embrace your solo travel experience.  You will come home with a new sense of independence.
  8. To try new things as what you do at home doesn't always work when you travel.

  9. To think creatively. Sometimes it takes a little thinking outside of the box to get by.

  10. To find beauty in small things that you did not notice before you started your trip, like a home-cooked meal.
