Viajando sozinha/ Traveling alone

Esse post será uma reprodução de algumas coisas do meu diário de viagem, e já que eu prometi que só ia escrever em Inglês nele, não to afim de traduzir aqui #lazy #sorry
Mas gente, o Google tradutor está aí pra isso hahaha

I was an only child for quite a long time so I'm used to doing things on my own and I kind of like it. Choosing to travel alone was no big deal. Even so, being alone at the beginning was awful, but as time went by I realized it was the best thing I could’ve done.

I say that for a number of reasons, like:

·         I wouldn’t make efforts to get to know new people if I had my friends with me

·         I could enjoy activities that I know many of my friends wouldn’t be interested in

·         The only complaints I had to listen to were my own (that’s the best one lol)

·         I had my own schedule, which is easier to create and change

What impressed me the most and gave me a feeling of great satisfaction is how I got to know myself better and how I could survive doing everything on my own. For the first time after turning 18 I really felt like an adult.

Traveling alone is not for everyone and there are lots to take into consideration before making such a decision, for example, safety. My parents would never allow me to go to Rio de Janeiro, but they let me travel more than 10000km to Canada, which is the 7^th safest country in the world. Nowhere is a paradise, but there are some crystal clear differences between some places. I found a list of the best countries for solo travelers > http://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/best-countries-for-solo-travelers

One small but very useful tip not to miss your family and friends so much is creating a Whatsapp group. I did that and it was sooo much fun =)

In a nutshell, I had a great time and recommend having this kind of experience. If you have never considered it, why not rise to the challenge?
