Solo Travel Vs Group Travel


Whats your Travel Mode?
" I will Be Riding Solo"


Group Travel
If you have lots of friends and you can’t stand to be separated from them, then maybe group travel would suit you. One of the definite benefits of travelling in groups is splitting costs and now days a lot of tours & accommodations offer discounted group rates.

FOR:
  • Splitting Costs
  • Group Rates
  • People to talk to
AGAINST:
  • Organizing yourself is easy – imagine trying to organize 5 others
  • People get sick, get moody get tired and get unbearable multiply by 5 – enough said.
  • It is very unlikely everyone wants to do exactly the same thing at exactly the same time - so conflict will most likely arise.
  • The travelling becomes overshadowed by the obligation to incorporate the wants & needs of everyone.


Partner Travel
Closely examine your relationship with your partner, honestly and critically analyze your travel compatibility. Can your partnership withstand the added pressures of traveling?  Travelling can definitely bring you and your partner closer but it can also drive you apart.

FOR:
  • Splitting Costs
  • Partner Rates
  • Someone special to share experience with
AGAINST:
  • Less likely to be outgoing and make new travel buddies
  • Does one partner have more money than the other or more expensive taste then the other?
  • Unlikely that your partner and you will always want to do the same thing at the same time - so chances of conflict arise.


Solo Travel
In my opinion the only way to go is Riding Solo- and if opportunities arise to travel with others along the way then you have the option to choose. You are at the wheel and you choose what you want to do, where you want to go and when you want to do it.

FOR:
  • More time to enjoy experiences.
  • No worry about others
  • Freedom to pick & choose
  • Openness to meet other fellow travelers and share extraordinary experiences.
