Any trip I had ever been on I would always be with my parents or someone else parents. For the first time back in 2018 I planned my first trip with just my friends and my boyfriend. I was very excited to be able to go to Europe without any parents. My friends and I planned a trip to Spain and I don’t think I had ever been so excited about anything. We have been friends since middle school and I can just remember as talking about going to another country together. So the fact that it was finally happening was amazing.
I felt like I was an adult finally because if anything were to happen I only had myself to fix the problem. I feel like being able to travel on your own also makes you grow as an individual. You get a sense of freedom, but also are very aware that you need to take care of things because no one is going to be there to help. I was on my own and it felt great.
I had to make sure I spend my money wisely, I was traveling safe, and make sure I was having fun at the end of the day. I would recommend having a trip as soon as you feel comfortable doing so. I hope me sharing some of my experiences can help you plan your next trip. Happy travels.
