I recently traveled with strangers and had a lot of learning and new experiences that widened my thinking abilities. There are several advantages when you travel alone with strangers. The important benefits are discussed in this writing.

1. Zero expectations: We expect from family, friends, and people we know, but not from strangers. When you travel with strangers, no one expects anything from you, and you don’t expect from others. You are your own and they are their own. It’s the freedom that’s possible with this travel.
2. Little safer than solo travel (solo travel with support): You can travel alone. But sometimes it may not be safe, and sometimes it’s only the mental limit we created in us. When traveling with strangers, you feel a little safe and better. So it becomes easy for your mind to enjoy the journey.
3. Budget-friendly (save money): If you want to hire a vehicle for the local site - seeing at any place, it will cost a lot as you have to pay for it alone. When you travel with strangers, you can share those expenses and make your travel budget-friendly. Even your stay becomes budget-friendly when you share hotel or room expenses.
4. Learn new behaviors(learn from each other): When you travel with people you know or when you travel alone, you won’t learn anything new. When you travel with strangers, you can learn new behaviors and new things about people. this helps you understand and deal with people better in real life.
5. Freedom to do and choose anything (to eat/sleep): You have your space with zero disturbances. You can eat anything you wish. No need to ask what to eat. You can decide to move or sleep or spend time contemplating, as no one will tell you or force you to sleep. You will have freedom and safety.
6. Opportunity to meet interesting people who may be like-minded: If you are lucky enough, you will meet some interesting people who may be like-minded. If you meet such people, they become your best buddies. As they are like-minded, you can do things together to create a great experience.
7. Zero formalities: There is no need to follow unnecessary formalities that you follow when you travel with family or friends. You can have zero or few formalities and unlimited freedom. This will make you feel comfortable throughout your journey.

Traveling can teach you wonderful things, and it’s a way of healing yourself. Traveling with strangers is another level of experience. Experience it.
