13 Invaluable Lessons That Prove How Important It Is to Experience Traveling Alone

"Being in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by a foreign culture — it was like this constant crazy obstacle course. Each time I was confronted with something new, I was faced with a tempting choice to dodge (which I did at first). But then I found that the more I said 'f*ck it, I'm immersing,' the higher I got from the experiences, and the wider my heart and mind opened up, ready to receive more. Traveling solo nurtured this unquenchable curiosity and hacked away at a lot of the fears that were getting in the way." — Brandea Bunnag, business analyst at Tally Inc.
