How do you feel when you travel alone?

 
There are two types of travel for a person, one is healthy and the other is sick. When you are healthy, you have the following feelings.

Efficient

Traveling alone, the biggest feeling is high efficiency, no need to discuss, no need to wait, consumption freedom, personal experience is much richer than group travel.

Enrich

Traveling alone feels very fulfilling and rarely feels lonely. For me personally, a more accurate description should be that there is no leisure time to feel lonely.

You are only a person, no one can rely on. The travel route, traffic, food, scenic spots, personal safety, etc., all require you to consider and make decisions alone. No matter how detailed the strategy is done in advance, there are still many unknowns waiting for you to deal with when you go to the local area.

After doing this lot of work, you still have the most important things to do-enjoy food, beautiful scenery and observe different cultures. It's hard not to be fulfilled.

Spend a lot of time making travel records

During our journey, we spend a lot of time recording the scenery and stories along the way. If it is a group trip, someone will help you take a photo or something. If you are alone, it takes time to get a selfie stick and take a selfie with a tripod.

Especially for a special traveler like me, there are three cameras that are always on. One is placed on the helmet, one is placed on the bow, and one is taken out at any time in the hand. Not to mention the shooting time, but only at night and sorting the materials. It took an hour or two.

The water travel is recorded like this:



A camera is installed on the top of the head, in order to prevent the phone from getting water. To protect my cell phone, I use the Janazan waterproof iphone xr case, which can 360 degree protect the phone dry.

This is just a screen record, and the written record is even more time-consuming. I have the habit of keeping a travel diary, and this has to be written on the same day, otherwise I won’t remember how I felt at that time the next day.

Happy

My happiness comes from the satisfaction of curiosity.

I'm very curious about everything, why is this place called this name, how the types of plants are different from our hometown, why the locals like to fight, why the innkeeper doesn’t see a doctor when he gets sick... In the process of searching for answers, I From the locals and other travelers, I heard many different versions of stories.

I like these stories, even if I stay for this and reduce the time to go to the next attraction, I am happy.

But all this, when I'm sick, it's a fart. I have tried diarrhea after eating fish sashimi in Taiwan, high resistance on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, foot pain on the snow-capped mountains of Nepal, fever in Thailand...

At this time, you are eager to have a travel companion, even if you are traveling with someone you hate, as long as you have an acquaintance by your side.

However, I forgot when I recover. ☺

So, continue to travel alone.
