Should we travel alone, with friends or with family? What are the benefits of each and are there any disadvantages?

Travelling, I think is one of the best ways to forget about your work, to relax, to get out from it all and not to worry about everything. That is why; our choices to travel with can be a tough and sometimes confusing decision. There are three general choices for it, you can travel with your friends, family, or you can just travel alone. I think each decision has its own advantages and disadvantages. I’ve experienced it all, so let me tell you about my opinion.
Travelling with friends is bound to be fun. It always brings a lot of fun, well, at least to me. Think about it, you can do crazy things with your friends! Swimming naked, drunk, one-night-stand parties, ridiculous games, trying extreme food, and many more. The most exciting thing about travelling with friends is that you’re not alone. Even if you’re lost, you’re not alone. But despite all of these fun things, we’re still young and so are our friends. We just know how to put ourselves into trouble without knowing how to get out of it. It can be dangerous too, if you don’t know how wicked your friends are.
What about family? If you want to have freedom, don’t take family with you. They won’t let you do challenging things you want to do in your holiday, your parents especially. However, what I like most about travelling with parents is no need to worry about money. Yippee!
So, what about travelling alone? No parents, you can do whatever you want to do without asking opinions or permissions from your friends or family. You can go wherever you want to go, even if you want to go to the most dangerous places in the world, no one’s going to stop you. But, what about the risks you have to tangle by yourself? And the feeling of loneliness and homesick? Who can soothe you?
To sum up, I think it depends on your character. If you’re a family person, you may want to travel with family. If you’re outgoing, you may travel with friends, and if you’re introvert, may be you’ll travel alone. Last but not least, enjoy your travelling with whomever beside you!
