Day Six

So far, traveling in a group with friends has been a blast! But, when i travel later on in life there may not always be others. Traveling alone although will definitely be fun, has some setbacks as well. In a group, there are always others to take care of you. Whether it is looking out, helping, or just talking with them. Alone, you may not have these options presented to you. And without an of these, it may make the trip much lonelier. Being alone also means that you have to make your own schedules and itineraries. Without these, you may sometimes end up places that are unwanted. Also, at some points in your travel you may no longer have anything to do. Another challenge traveling alone brings is security. Walking through unknown cities is very dangerous. And being alone and looking like a tourist makes you that much more vulnerable to people. This makes walking through some parts of town risky and you may not be able to visit all you wanted. Another downside of traveling alone is the people. Not being able to share the moment with someone else isn't as great. Sometimes a voyage isn't about the pics or sights but the memories. The time when you and your friends did something crazy. Or the moment when you and a friend will never forget the inside joke. No matter what it is, it always seems to be better with someone else. All in all, to me it seems better to travel with a partner. Alone can have some benefits like independence or freedom, but these don't outweigh the benefits of a group. Much better life-long memories are made through group traveling versus solo.

Today was an awesome day! We went to the blue mountains and it was a blast! Although the sights would have been much better without the fog, it was still amazing. The waterfalls were jaw dropping and nothing can explain the sights.
