Solo travelling

At the beginning of this winter break, I decided to book a flight ticket to Oita. From there, I spent 6 days travelling by myself in the Northern Kyushu area. In the past, one of my biggest fear is having to do things alone, since it might give other people the impression that I am lonely. However, I have grown to appreciate my ‘alone time’. Solo travelling got so much less daunting once I realized the importance of:

1. Not checking social medias

2. Bringing a book and a journal to spare myself the boredom of having nothing to do

3. Setting time aside to meet people. During this trip and many others I managed to reconnect with old friends to whom I haven’t talked for years and meet with new ones
