The Best Places To Travel Alone (And Why You Should!)
I prefer to travel alone, and I think it’s something everyone should try at least once in their life. Solo holidays are becoming more popular as many people are deciding to follow their dreams of traveling more. I like traveling alone because I like following my own schedule, and I tend to meet more people when I travel alone than when I do with a friend.

I had paid a taxi driver a flat fee to take me to the temples of Kathmandu, but he didn’t speak much English. So I knew nothing of what I was about to experience at the sacred Pashupatinath Temple. Smoke rose ominously from the funeral pyres next to the Bagmati river. I watched as a body was placed on one of the pyres to burn. I could feel death all around me, but not just feel it. Ashes touched my skin, the smell of decay mixed with burning spices entered my nose, and I will never forget the cries of those who mourned for the demise of those they loved.
