Travelling Alone

Every time someone knows I travel alone, they often seem weird. As in the flight to Hanoi, some guys talked to me and were surprised to know I was alone in Bangkok to play. ... "You are really good, Do you really  go abroad alone and enjoy Bangkok alone," ... (I swear I do not feel good at all, I know some people have traveled everywhere since these ages of 16 or 17 and I find myself nothing special - at Least not in this)

I'm not uncomfortable at all with the usual questions presented, but sometimes I'm still Amazed at how strange People are. Actually, I'm not always alone. Sometimes i also go with you, but i do not really like group photos and show thumbnails; Sometimes I go alone but meet my friends at the destination; Sometimes I am completely alone, but always on the way I can add some international and indigenous friends.

Anyway, I have been used to being alone, since childhood.

In the high school years, I enjoyed cycling alone walking around the city, going all the way to another road in Thai Nguyen. After school, I usually do not go home immediately or visit a bookstore or a grocery store just to buy books or look at the small souvenirs. One day i was able to finish school early, and i rode my bike around the city alone

i didn’t even bother to make friends in high school. I only play with a best friend at the time, and sometimes go out with a classmate.

Growing up, as many of you know, I changed 180 degrees when I became more active person, volunteering, knowing more friends, but one thing remained unchanged in me: solitary.

I think I'm a very open-minded person, but open-minded introvert, that is, I'm always ready to make friends with and I care about. body still enjoy being alone, even enjoy the fun in solitude. Even friends: I do not like to go to a large group of People who just like to go out, three People to talk, confide in, how to have deep conversation - Which is my definition of division Share, contemplate, talk about life as well as film, art.When a meeting only asks three basic sentences that lack deep conversation, I will quickly get bored and find a way to ... escape. Even if a meeting lacks deep conversation, or conflicts, I feel lonely even when alone. As Toru in Norwegian Wood says: "Not everyone likes to be alone so much, I just do not want to be disappointed." That's almost my reason. Traveling is something you just do with someone you really love - to ignore the differences and take care of that person, or at least with someone who is "a little coy". I also have some friends like that - but not much and they do not always have the same goals for me, so sometimes i'm alone.

Back to the many people have questions, I always wondered the opposite: why cannot, why not? And the key is: why are people so afraid to go alone? Why do many people praise me as "good" when i do what many of my international friends have done

After many years, i realize one thing: you are always afraid of something that you do not know and have not started. It's like riding a bicycle. At first you think it is not difficult to dare to climb the car. It may be hard at first, but gradually you will get used to it. Traveling in general - and going alone, I do not find it scary at all because I'm used to it (of course I'm talking about traveling to relatively safe countries, African countries must be careful K)

Before coming to Thailand, I felt a bit scared when many warn people are Thai who do not speak English so it is difficult to communicate, the Japanese subway system is very troublesome - careful to get lost, and so on. But in fact, I did not have too many problems there. Of course I was a bit annoyed at the fact that Thai people do not speak English at all. But, in return, they are endlessly enthusiastic, ready to do everything they can to help me - for example taking me from subway station to hotel ( invite me to the restaurant ...

It's like going somewhere. I’ve heard that Bangkok is expensive, going to Bangkok without a tour is very hard ... Recognizing Bangkok is expensive - but I swear you can save just as you spend even less. in 10 days if not shopping.

I can go to Thailand not because I have a lot of money, but I just save and do not use that money to get into life like many people. My Priority is exploring the world and I'm determined to come there, believing that I will be there (as well as some other places - now I'm empty but still planning to be right). I'm coming, that's all. Now I believe: If you really want to go somewhere, then you will go there (not say Mars Venus or the Arctic - although in the spirit of the United States, you can even go fire Venus or Arctic if you really want to - people say nothing is impossible that haha)

Traveling teaches me a lot of things. Because there are always risks and nuisances associated with it, my "stress management" now has leveled up compared to the old days.

More importantly, I began to understand more about myself. Before, I originally thought that I was pretty weak, but it turned out not quite. It is true that I look a little "weak willow silk" but I go out on a "buffalo". I am very weak in carrying heavy loads but my endurance is more endurance than I can imagine. I can walk all day without being tired - and after a good sleep the next day goes on so much; Can eat sparse food without getting sick; Can communicate with blind Italian in body language; can get acquainted, thanks strangers as right (though very timid);Maybe even overnight at the airport - though I swear to myself that I will not let this happen again T___T. Now, I think traveling alone is like a way of discovering me, and I like it.
