Traveling Alone
Some people shy away from traveling alone, a few embrace it. This article looks at the decided advantages of going it alone.
I realized early on that if I was going to get anywhere I had to go on my own. I know is as passionate about travel as I am. I didn't want to spend my life waiting to go somewhere because I didn't have anyone to go with me.
I have made some trips with friends but there is a special feeling I get when I travel solo - like it's this secret I have. The places I get to see are amazing and I do wish other people could see it but the rush of freedom I get traveling alone is stronger than any desire to share it with someone. I usually end up talking to myself after a few weeks on my own but that's okay. It's a great time to do some soul searching and revel in the freedom of not worrying about anything or anyone else.
First, traveling solo is the ultimate freedom. The itinerary you set and all the decisions you make are your creations without concern or acquiescence to any other person or group. In other words, No compromises, No arguments, No second-guessing!
Traveling alone is a confidence builder as well. I realize the great value of that small journey for a new found confidence was born in me. This always happens with travel by oneself. You learn you can solve problems, get over the blues, and find hidden treasures all by yourself.
Thomas Jefferson once said: "One travels more usefully when alone because he reflects more." It's true: you have abundant time for contemplating, even vegetating, or anything you want. A day long visit to one museum? No problem. A long hike on a trail fraught with danger? Not an issue. You don't have to deal with someone else's mood swings, ---nor they with yours.

The most important factor to consider in your decision to make a trip alone is your own sense of independence. If you find that you have little tolerance for the idiosyncrasies of others you might be happier traveling alone. In this article, I hope I've at least opened the door, shown you the great benefits of leaving everyone behind as you discover the world INSIDE and outside of yourself.
Why I Don’t Travel
Many people do not want to travel. They enjoy the comfort of their homes and perhaps inherited the idea of not wanting to venture away from their nest because it meant reliving
Memories of the past, which were undesirable, I have thought of other reasons why people do not want to travel and why people end up staying where they are for years.
There are people who would rather put their money on material needs that would make them live more comfortably and other don’t mind having a simply furnished living room and Putting some money away for the chalet in the country
Many people are just too lazy to think of leaving a place that offers them so much material wealth and comfort.
For fear of being robbed or losing their belongings, do not want to travel alone especially if they lack a companion
People wanting to invest in their local tour trade instead of spending money on hotels out of town, being vegan on a voyage can be difficult.
People with young families have to sacrifice some years of personal comfort to see that their kids are going to enjoy a better lifestyle than they had.
Others do not like the idea of letting go of what they acquired and start over again in a strange place with a different language and customs

Success to a Happy Married Life
A man and a woman had been married for more than 65 years. They had shared everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $85,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.
"The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box.. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?""Oh, that?" she said. "That is the money I made from selling the dolls.."
