14 Life-Changing Things That Happen When You Travel Alone

1. You inevitably make some pretty stupid mistakes.

Without a fellow traveler to watch your back, your basic common sense is more likely to slip through the cracks. This means more chances to book your hostel for the wrong night, overpay for a ticket, or lose your keys. Cue feeling like a huge idiot.

2. But then you realize pretty quickly that those mistakes aren’t such a big deal…and you’re a lot more resilient and resourceful than you thought.

As it turns out, you're not a huge idiot. Yes, some mistakes make a big mess of things, but most slip-ups are easy to fix with a few minor adjustments, which we only realize when we're in situations where we have no choice but to face them—like, say, alone in Thailand when you've lost your phone.

3. You miss basically everyone you know.

Who knew you even liked people so much? With each passing thought you find yourself more and more bummed that you have no one to bounce your ideas off of. Wouldn't it be nice to share all these beautiful sights with someone?
