People want to travel for various reasons. Maybe people go trip to relax and make precious memories. Regarding this reason, it is better to travel alone than to travel in a group. This is because when travel by oneself, people can have less stress and have flexibility of schedule.
To begin with, it is less stressful when travel by oneself. To be specific, there might be places which people don't want to go in the itinerary of tour group. Also the time schedules might not fit with people's characteristics. For example, when I went to U.S.A with my family last winter with the tour group. However, we had to wake up at 6 a.m., and it was scheduled to go to gift shop which my family didn't want to go. Because of this uncomfortable itinerary, my family was tired in the end of the trip. If my family had gone to U.S.A in person, we would have been able to travel more freely.
In addition, people can travel with flexibility. Since tour group's itinerary is hectic and decided, people don't have free time as much as they want. Also, eventhough they want to stay longer at one place, they should move frome place to place by conforming the schedule. For example, if one went to France, and then she or he had chance to go to the local festival. However, if the festival hadn't planned by tour guide, the person can't go there. If one could go there, he or she could have great and unforgettable experience of France.
To sum up, traveling oneself is better than traveling with tour group because people can travel more freely and have own memorable experience which tour group can't have. |
