I remember it quite vividly when I decided to travel solo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">There was no social media at that time \u2013 it was 2011. I hadn\u2019t started my blog back then. I was totally raw. I had no inspiration or enticement to follow. I just followed my heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">I had an ardent desire to explore a place from my own perspective \u2013 I guess that\u2019s what we termed as <span style=\"color: #829e59;\">\u2018<a style=\"color: #829e59;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.renuka-voyagerforlife.com\/solo-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>solo travel<\/strong><\/a>\u2019<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">I was excited to travel to a new destination on my own, feel its vibe, immerse myself into its magic and do my own thing. I have always been a photography enthusiast. Thus, traveling alone fascinated me even more. I knew that if I traveled solo, I\u2019d have more time and freedom to take pictures. I wouldn\u2019t have any pressure. So that was definitely one of the things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Besides, the whole idea of setting out on an adventure of your own was super thrilling. In fact, I have a very interesting story to share about my first solo trip, which was to Udaipur (Rajasthan).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>It was a Diwali break. I worked in a publishing company as a Copywriter in Delhi. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>I was meant to travel on Diwali eve, which I guess was not a very suitable day to travel. Delhi is jampacked on festivals, especially Diwali. I was supposed to catch an overnight train to Udaipur from Nizamuddin station, which was very far from my place. I guess I took the Delhi jam a little lightly that day and I ended up missing my train. Yes, the adventure began the very first day of my first solo travel.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Well, I saw my train depart the station right in front of me. I even tried running after it and I even asked a few passengers onboard to drag me in. But that was all in vain. The train had left and I stood still at the platform, very much in dismay. However, I was still hellbent about traveling that day. I went to the ticket counter to check if I could catch the train from the next station, which was not quite possible. I called up my mom and told her about my misery. She asked me to return home immediately.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>I returned home, but I didn\u2019t sit still even for a single second until I had booked my tickets to Udaipur for the following day, which was the Diwali day. The next day the streets were totally empty, and the train was empty, too. BUT, it was a safe journey. I reached Udaipur in the morning with all the happiness in my heart.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>The hotel (Baba Palace) had sent a car to receive me from the train station. So yes, the trip began on a very good note. The hotel was a budget option \u2013 it was reasonably good, clean and safe. So, that was my first brush with solo travel.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>It was beautiful!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">I have learnt quite a lot through each solo trip that I have taken thus far. Even though I don\u2019t support the idea that traveling alone is better than any other kind of travel, I do recommend solo travel to everyone, at least once in their lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5756 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renuka-voyagerforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Solo-travel-teaches-you-life-lessons.jpg\" alt=\"Solo travel teaches you life lessons\" width=\"1000\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.renuka-voyagerforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Solo-travel-teaches-you-life-lessons.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.renuka-voyagerforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Solo-travel-teaches-you-life-lessons-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.renuka-voyagerforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Solo-travel-teaches-you-life-lessons-768x492.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Travel is such a privilege.
