Summary

This quote emphasizes the freedom and independence that comes with solo travel. It suggests that when you travel alone, you have the power to start your journey whenever you please without depending on someone else's readiness or availability. On the other hand, when you travel with others, you may have to wait until they are also prepared to embark on the journey. It speaks to the idea that individual initiative and self-reliance can lead to immediate action, while collective decision-making often requires patience and consideration for others.

You know, what I very well know, that I bought you.
