If youâre thinking about going travelling on your own, then âThe 12 Ways Solo Travel Transforms Your Personalityâ makes for interesting reading. The author writes from personal experience and the twelve reasons he gives why travelling solo can be a fantastic experience are grounded in real-life. Solo travel is something I also enjoy, so I was interested to see how his experiences would compare with mine and, on the whole, I found that I agreed with him on most of the positive points he raises. What really resonated with me though was how group travel diverts your attention and gets in the way of fully engaging with the place and people you are visiting.I particularly enjoyed the interviews with other solo travellers and to hear about their experiences.I must say, though, the claim that solo travel completely transforms your personality and your life may be somewhat of a hyperbole, but it certainly does have a profound effect on how one experiences a country, its people and culture.
An easy read that presents a great argument about why you should travel solo. It addresses some of the problems you'll face as a solo traveler but Michael also gives the positive side as well. It makes the scary thought of solo traveling not-so-scary.
The more I read, the more I felt this book was made for me. It made me comfortable with my choices in life, as a solo female travel. Every time I started a new chapter I told myself "this is so right!". Traveling alone from destinations to destinations put ourselves to meet people we wouldn't have met if we were traveling in another way. It allows us to do what we really want to do without any duty. It allows you to become more independent, open minded and also smily to life. In any case, Michael's book is full of advices and links if you want to start your path for solo travel. And it worth it. I loved the traveler's stories at the end that showed me it is possible to travel solo !
An easy read that gives you the extra push to go off on your next adventure. I left solo to travel Asia and reading this book gave me the confidence to just go and do it. It goes straight to the point and even gives you practical pointers on how to travel well, tips to keep in mind and an overview on what to expect. Getting first hand info from his experience plus the interviews with seasoned solo travelers - i think this type of information is priceless. Nice one!
I loved reading this book. I felt like I was experiencing solo travel right along with the author. He reaffirms why I love solo travel and taught me a few things too.I recommend this book for travelers of all ages. If you are thinking about a solo adventure, this book will give you the push you need to get out there and enjoy your solo journey.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It makes you think that anyone has the ability to travel alone and should go for it. Even very shy people like myself! Very inspiring and definitely worth reading.
Pretty thin with scant information. More a pamphlet rather than a book.
