Leisure in the social field is repulsive because it is forced; leisure in solitary life is pleasant; because it is free and voluntary.
——[French] Jean-Jacques Rousseau

to go when you want to go.” She added: “We don’t know when the urge to travel suddenly occurs, right?

”I gave up the trip I was looking forward to because I couldn’t find a companion!” In this way, it can only be said that “loneliness” is not enough. . Abandon the established idea of ”it’s lonely to travel alone”, and travel as you please and at ease! You can definitely enjoy it.
