52 Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. Traveling alone is the only way to travel. If you take someone with you, you take your home with you. When you travel alone, you meet new people, have new experiences, and learn more about yourself. When I traveled with my friend, I spend all my time with that friend. We eat together and sightsee together. When I travel alone, I spend my time looking for new friends. It is easy to fine other people, either other tourists or locals, to eat with or have a coffee with. When you share meals with strangers, they become friends. When I travel with a friend, my routine is predictable. We maintain the same schedule that we do at home. When I travel alone, I adopt the rhythm of the place I visit. I might take a nap in the afternoon and eat dinner at 11 pm. I might go to a disco and dance all night. When I travel with a friend, we know how we will react to things. When I travel alone, each new experience requires a new reaction. If I dont try new things, I wont be able to decide if I like something or not. Shall I ride an ostrich or eat one? I think it is always important to do things on your own. You can fine new friends, collect new memories, and adopt different ways of doing things. Isnt that the point of travel?
