The Benefits Of SOLO TRAVELING (It Changed My Life!)

About 4 years ago when I graduated from high school, I felt lost and didn't have any direction in life. So I decided to solo travel the world. In 12 months I travelled to Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines), Australia, Canada and Alaska. Traveling turned out to be a huge motivation and inspiration for me. I started to discover my passion for photography/filmmaking and witnessed a strong transformation in both my character and my look. I can definitely say that traveling changed my life and that it can change yours, too. I took the time to look through my footage of the trip and I created this piece to show you the most important benefits of traveling. Enjoy!

hardest part about travelling is coming back and needing to settle in your old life again. I have been back for 1.5years and not a day goes by where I dont think about escaping my life here again

Once you go solo, the idea of having to plan a trip with someone else seems annoying. I absolutely love this. I solo travel all the time (over 30 countries and counting). The best places to go to meet people are hostels and events. Always google the latest scams in the area (especially on transportation). I went on a trip by myself to Strasbourg, France on Saturday and it filled my energy cup. I got to cafe-sit, people-watch, eat churros and take in the scenery without distraction. I have a fiance whom I adore and long to be close to and fully supports my trips alone and we enjoy trips together. Solo travel is normal for a lot of people. Don't be discouraged by the naysayers. xxSafe Travelsx

Dude, I freaking love this video! I agree with everything you said and it just gets me stoked to travel again! You’re channel is going to blow up soon! Amazing quality

[fybianfyablo]

This makes me want to travel as soon as we can again after everything settles down!

As a solo world traveler, I've always said the way it changes you is similar to the Overview Effect astronauts experience when they see Earth from space and they realize how fragile and beautiful it is. And it changes their view of humanity and makes them better people. Travel has done that for me and in my 13 years of regular travel I have only grown to feel that more and more. I don't think a person can truly know who they are until they've seen the world.

Nik! This is so inspiring! Really glad that I've had the chance to met and travel with you in 2016. You such a talented, passionate and inspiring creator! The story in this video is super amazing!!!

[ePICS]

Nailed it. Dude, I already said this and I'm gonna say this again, this channel is gold. You're in the right path, keep doing watch you're doing!

[TravelDrone]

Your channel is a part of my life's routine. Every time you drop a video, I am curious and watching it. It's been always a pleasure to travel with your videos❤️👍thanks 🙌

[jacquesvanwyk]

This is one of the most on point videos I have seen in a long time, well done. So many of the things you said I can relate to especially the difference between the conversations and people back home compared to those you encounter during your travels.
Alot of people dont understand how quickly you can change, and grow as a person while travelling alone.

Tolles Video mit sehr vielen Deep Thoughts 😍 Du strahlst aus, was du sagst und das macht die Energie des Videos gleich nochmal doppelt so groß! Die Clips sind unglaublich schön und Asien ist ein Ort der Superlative, was Freiheit und Lebensgefühl im Minimalismus angeht, I feel you! Dieses Kind sein vergessen leider 99% aller Menschen ab einem gewissen Alter und ich bin froh, dass es Leute wie dich und mich gibt, die es einfach weiterleben lassen 😁

[ryanstead]

[james]

I don't know why, but this shit made me emotional! It's so pleasing to see the experiences you've had. I now know that travelling is something I 100% want to do at the earliest opportunity.

[MuhammadChairullahAlAyyubi]

Wow!! I am so glad that I had an experience to hosted you. You did a great job job, bro! Looking forward to see you soon as well as your upcoming epic videos 👍

[nedkrema]

That was really inspiring, I’m going through a lot of thinking in life decisions and your videos gave me the answers of what to do to choose my path 😄
Thanks a lot

Travellers knows what's travelling ;)

All you've said I have experienced too, I was just a lil bit sad because I feel like my adventures have been stopped due to Covid-19 but guess what I optimized that time that was given to me to learn different things, to pass my motorcycle driving license, boat license, I travelled in different region of my country and recognized that it is such a beautiful one, learn a new language, challenged myself in other disciplines like climbing, surfing. What I really miss is to meet people from all over the world like I used to to do, and to SHARE with them.

[YaldaYaz]

I LOVEEE solo travelling! I'm happy that you were able to go do it too!!

[samyaryasrebi]

I'm 15 and I was thinking of traveling when I turned 18 for past year, then I came across this video: I learned a lot about it and I can't wait to start my own journey and start traveling when I turned 18. Thanks Niklas for all great content you create.
