Summary

This quote suggests that traveling alone can be more valuable because it allows for deeper reflection. When we travel alone, there are no distractions or influences from others, enabling us to fully engage with our thoughts and experiences. Without the need to focus on companionship or social interactions, we can spend more time introspecting and contemplating our surroundings. This solitude enables a deeper level of self-awareness and self-discovery, leading to a more meaningful and transformative travel experience. Traveling alone allows one to explore not only the outside world but also their own inner world.
