Many travellers like to travel alone and some people like to travel with a group. I must say that travelling alone could be quite risky. This is specifically true when you travel to a foreign country. So, do you like to travel alone or with a group?

I hate travelling alone! As a woman, it's dangerous, especially if the wrong person knows that a woman is alone. My plan, when I have to travel alone is to walk closer to a group of people, so that others think I'm with them!!

I have always preferred travelling with a group of people because travelling alone can be really boring. Exploring places alone can also be dangerous, especially when you are travelling to countryside. You could get stranded anywhere, which can be really dangerous.

I like to travel with friends when I go on vacation.

If the trip is with people I trust, like friends, then I'm happy to travel with someone, but otherwise I generally prefer to travel alone, unless I want to meet new people, in which case traveling in a group is a good idea.

I have travelled quite a bit and have always opted for conducted tours. The Organizers take care of the nitty gritty right from booking and visas. They also see to our luggage loading on and off planes. And most important of all the sight seeing is where we benefit as they know what will be interesting to visit

I reckon that travelling alone would be so boring. This is why I always prefer travelling with group. In many cases, travelling alone wouod not be safe either. There have been various cases of travellers getting murdered in many unsafe parts of the world.

It depends though, majority of the times i actually prefer traveling solo, this way I don't have to worry about anything or anyone, just enjoy the ride, watch movies or listen to music while i see new places. But i would definitely like to travel with a partner one day though.

I think that travelling solo could be a really big challenge, especially if you do not have many friends. There are many YouTube channel creators who travel solo in many different parts of the world and the experience could be eerie. Many people prefer to travel solo so that they could travel on their own terms.

I like to travel in a group. It is because when you travel in a group, you have company to talk and gossip about mutual interests, and you also get someone to care about you. Whereas, if I travel alone, I feel isolated and alienated, and that loneliness hurts me a lot.

Well, if you travel alone, then it is always a good idea to make friends in a foreign country. It may be really hard to trust strangers in a foreign country though. This is why making new friends in a foreign country could be a big challenge. If you are travelling with a group, then make sure that you know the people in your group.

I have travelled a lot and mostly opting for conducted tours. The group consists of strangers to start with but we become friends

With my wife rather than alone or with a group.
