Group Travel Can Weaken Social Relationships with Friends and Family
Many backpackers travel alone, not because they have no friends or inherent distaste of other people, but they find solo travel to be much more carefree than if the travel had conducted with others. Traveling by oneself means there is no need to consult others when making decisions on where to go, what to do, where to eat, and where to stay. The travel plan can be executed so much quicker, and changes in the itinerary can be made much more flexibly. The freedom of traveling independently comes from the fact that there is no restriction of others having different opinions, who needs to be persuaded otherwise.
