Solo travel has been catching on like wildfire of late. While it is good fun to travel with family or friends, it is also quite interesting to travel alone. If you thought that solo travel is a lonely and boring idea, think again! I can assure you, that solo travel can be as exciting as travelling in a group – and sometimes even better!

There are many lessons that one can learn from solo travel. Solo travel helps in cultivating several essential life skills such as building up your confidence, enabling you to think on your feet, forcing you to become adaptable, teaching you to be open to new experiencesand most importantly being independent. And when it comes to independence when travelling, the starting point would be your luggage.

Having to depend on someone else to help carry your luggage can put a major dent in your quest for independence and confidence when travelling. This is why I am such a big fan of backpacks. Backpacks are the ultimate lifesaver for a solo traveller. You can literally carry the world on your back with a good backpack!

One of my favourite backpacks ought to be the Osprey Farpoint 40 Rucksack. This backpack has certainly gained a huge fan following ever since they were first launched. In fact, chances are high that you would spot a bunch of fellow travellers with these backpacks on their backs on your journey!
