Travelling by yourself is way better! I went travelling with a friend (Southeast Asia). We lasted eight weeks together and then were forced to split up because we just were not getting along. I felt like I had to compromise constantly on everything I wanted to do, and I ended up missing out on really neat opportunities because my friend was not as outgoing and didn't want to partake. When we split up, it sucked at first, but it was a blessing! For my last month of travelling, I met more people, made mor e friends, and had many more unique adventures than I did in my first two months travelling with a friend. I just felt like people were more attracted to me because I was alone instead of being attached to one person. Travel alone!!!! I highly recommend it!!!! You will gain so much more from the experience!!!
