Have you ever considered vacationing alone? For some people, the mere thought of solo vacations makes them break out into a cold sweat. However, sometimes the best travel companion you can ever have is yourself. There are many reasons why you may be considering taking off across country or even overseas all by yourself, and you’re not alone. The solo vacation industry has been growing astronomically over the past few years, and when you join a group, you aren't actually by yourself. Instead, you get the benefits of solo travel as well as the advantages of a group adventure. Most people who travel alone are treating themselves, either for a new job, a graduation, recovery from an illness, or just because they enjoy their own company. Here are some reasons why striking off on your own can be enjoyable and liberating.   You Can Do Exactly What You Want Often, when you travel with a companion, compromises are made. You have to agree on travel dates, on where to go, where to stay, and what to eat. What do you do when you’re on the vacation of a lifetime and your companion doesn’t want to go see that museum or eat at that restaurant that’s at the very top of your list?

Traveling with a group can be a great experience for the solo traveler. Joining a group travel tour means you are never alone, and you can make friends and feel more secure in your journey. To make the most of a group travel adventure, check out these tips.   Be Open to New Friendships Part of enjoying group travel is the people factor. Group travel tours let you engage in conversation with new people. They are great for building new relationships and long lasting friendships, and during wait times at airports or on tours you always have someone to talk to. If you need to take that perfect scenic picture, there's no need for selfies — simply ask one of your travel buddies to take it for you. Better yet, taking pictures with your new friends can also be quite fun, and activities like that can even lead to taking future trips together. To ensure you get the most of your experience, be open to meeting new friends on your journey.   Enjoy the Safety of a Group Group travel tours provide you with the benefit of safety in numbers. When traveling to a foreign country on their own, single travelers can be targets for theft or other crimes. This is less likely when you are with a group, and it's also easier to haggle for a
