Now many young people are traveling around the world on t heir own, not because they have no one to travel with, but bec ause they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone wh en she was at college and believes that it is something everyo ne should do at least once in their life. " It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone," We gscheider said. She has visited 46 countries covering all seve n continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, loo
k after you when you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to tr avel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to pr ove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie No mad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had t raveled alone earlier. "The people you meet,the places you vi sit,or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces y ou to grow as a person, said the 30-year-
old man. Richardson describes traveling alone as a shot in th e arm”, which makes you a more confident person that is read y to deal with anything. He said, “ The feeling of having conqu ered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around withmy head up because I know that nothing is impossible if I try. ”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said,Only b y going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness."
