I wrote a lot about the things I loved about solo travelling. But there are downsides.

You don’t have someone to mind your stuff when you go to the toilet. So you gotta haul everything into the cubicle with you.
Sometimes when you get scared, you don’t have someone to turn to… like, sometimes I freak myself being in a big hotel room on my own. But I’m like, fuck it, embrace it, it’ll be ok.
You can’t just hog a table to go get stuff at buffet. You have to strategically leave something there like a jacket to show people that you’re still sitting there.
Can’t order a lot of food to try because you can’t finish it, so you won’t get to try a lot of different dishes.
It costs more to travel alone because you’re not splitting the costs of things like a hotel room. It’s gonna cost the same if you sleep alone or share the room with someone.
Sometimes you do wonder what the hell you’re doing alone, all across the world.
It can get a bit lonely, I did at times feel like striking up conversations because I was getting so bored of talking to myself.
You have to sit next to random people on flights
There is no one else to rely on, so you really have to rely on yourself or actually go ask people (which is an adventure in itself)
There’s no one else to share your joy with; or your reflections with. Which is why I wrote on my blog a lot. Also no one to share funny experiences with.
You’re limited in the things that you discover because when you’re travelling with other people, they have other interests which can potentially expand your worldview too.
You’re the only one navigating, there’s no one to rely on for navigation.
Australia goes to sleep when its afternoon in Europe, so it’s hard to communicate and share things in real time.
No one else to remember the trip with. I only have myself to remember the trip with.
You’re limited to selfies lol.
If you’re sick, you’re on your own. Like how I was in Dubai and Copenhagen.

Still can’t believe I went to Scandinavia. It feels like such a long time ago now. I’d do it all over 1000%. But I think I would actually instead go for longer and actually buy one of those DJI cameras so I could take more videos of the places I went to rather than just rely on myself for taking photos. I have a total of 1246 photos from Scandinavia, but I felt like I didn’t take enough. I have also looked at these photos again and again, they’re my favourite. I think I’ll print them out soon so I can have a physical memory. It really is my favourite memory and truly a highlight of my life. I feel so lucky to have gone.
