The name "Single Travel" means that it is a personal travel, which has become a trendy way of travel in recent years. Some people think that travel is more free and can feel the wind along the way more deeply, while others worry that travel is more dangerous and lonely. What are the advantages and disadvantages of traveling without travel companions in a single place and only one’s own journey? Let’s take a look with the discussions from netizens!
"Social Lab Social Experience Room" tracks the Internet voice performance of the topic "Excellent Travel Advantages and Disadvantages" in the past three months through the "OpView Social Word of Mouth Database", which will help you understand the 8 major exclusive travel advantages and disadvantages that netizens have expressed.
Observe the discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of independent travel in the past three months. "High degree of freedom in the itinerary" has caused great revelation. Many netizens believe that independent travel can arrange scenic spots and food and other itineraries as they wish. "I just want to stay in a hotel for a whole day and there will be no one to care about it." I can also appreciate the scenery along the way according to my suitable steps, "I like to walk around, and I have no plans to 'travel' at all" and "I don't have to turn around and have a travel companion. I'm really free when making arrangements."
And when everything has to be experienced, the solo travel has become a journey for many people to "grow themselves". Some netizens shared that they had traveled to Japan to ski, but unexpectedly got off at the deserted unmanned station. They were very shocked at the time. Fortunately, the owner of the homestay helped them to solve it successfully. Many people left messages to encourage "single travel really tests the ability to adapt" and "a solo travel can make oneself grow", pointing out that independent faces are a very difficult experience for sudden situations during the journey.
"No one helps to take photos" Can you only use equipment or find passers-by?Many people will also start traveling alone in order to "enjoy independent charging". If a Youtuber shared that he was traveling abroad alone after a breakup, attracting many fans to reply. Some people also shared the same experience, saying, "I like to go there alone when I am tired" because I can "empty my thoughts and enjoy peace of mind"; some people also pointed out that "you can calm yourself when you are with me", thinking that "only traveling is a good way to re-know yourself." On the other hand, when traveling alone, there will be more opportunities to communicate with strangers, and it will be easier to meet new friends. Among them, it is easier to meet other travelers in a youth hostel in a shared accommodation space. A netizen once went to Korea to watch a concert, "I went back to the hostel and found that everyone was watching the concert, chatting together until midnight before going to bed." Some netizens also shared that when they know strangers outside the daily life circle, they can often "listen to other people's stories and very harmful experiences" and say bluntly, "If you are willing to speak, you will make very special friends during the journey"!
However, many people still feel a little bit about the traveler. Many netizens pointed out that "no one helps take photos" is a common concern for travelers. They usually only use additional equipment or ask passers-by to help, but "it is also irritating to use selfie stands or foot stands." If you ask passers-by to take photos, in addition to the fact that the photo effect may not be satisfactory, there may even be risks in areas with poor public security. For example, a netizen shared that "If you go to a French traveler and ask passers-by to take photos, your mobile phone will be stolen", reminding everyone to remain alert. This type of "safety risk" also makes many people feel worried, so they often discuss the posts in the discussion area asking whether it is dangerous to go to a specific city. In this regard, netizens raised the secrets to ensure safety, "Don't leave at night", "Don't slip on your phone", "Check your money bag and license", etc. They believe that if you can pay attention to these details, traveling alone in China is actually not as good as the risk you imagined, "consciously protecting yourself is more important"!
Eating alone is more cumbersome. "Eating can't be tried in a variety of ways"On the other hand, "no one shares his experience on the journey" and "eating can't be tried in a variety of ways" are also troublesome for many people. A netizen pointed out that he would still be a little lonely when traveling, "no one will share his joys", "there is no object to share his current thoughts and moods, which is a little bit slight." also. If there are no travel companions sharing food, it is difficult to experience a variety of food. Some travelers said, "The disadvantage of traveling alone is that they cannot order a lot of food" and "Eating alone in traveling alone is that they are really troublesome."
