Why you must travel alone at least once in your life | Chintan Ruparel | TEDxVITPune

Chintan shares his thoughts on why one must travel alone, at least once in their lifetime. For if you don’t enjoy your own company every once in a while, why will others?

With one tweet sized story (140 character long), TTT brings together a diverse pool of fantastic writers from varied backgrounds. He has also directed the short film ‘Deuce’ in 2015 under their very own Terribly Tiny Talkies banner. A football enthusiast, Chintan loves meeting new people and embarking on travel and adventure journeys alone!

Currently I'm on a 9 days solo trip to kerala.. Today is my last day here (in Kumarakom).and trust me this was the best trip of my life❤

[@amitmodi9108]

can you share

[@queenrao17]

Kyu koi ladki mil gayi:-)

[@sushantgulve5184]

What happen?

[@riswanmohammed9408]

Aiiwaaa.. Keralaa.. My place... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@saikumarreddy3701]

What is the budget bro

[@HarishChouhan]

lol, it's funny that so many Indians go abroad alone for a new job and stay there, but travelling alone seems like such a big deal.

[@siellahsimone8496]

I strongly agree!! I'm currently in London where I've been living for 1,5 months... I had no prospects or plans or specific reasons to come, except a feeling inside of me that told me that I had to go! I've took a student loan and went - my first time ever traveling alone, and not knowing anybody here. I feel like this trip has made me hole again - I know myself better than I ever have before ... I can relate to everything he said and I strongly encourage everyone to travel by them self at least once !!

[@ShannynCampbell]

i had the exact same story at 19

[@Krisna_Rang]

this massage is very much positively inspiring me for travel alone because I feel fear for traveling alone -so thanx

[@ElCapitan88]

I’m going to London by myself in 2 weeks. Can’t wait.

[@Mother_daughter_adventures]

I loooove traveling alone.

[@adamromero]

I've been thinking about doing some solo travel. I don't have a lot of friends so I feel like its often the only choice for me.

[@Savarkar19]

@@adamromero the only benefit while travelling with someone is that the travel/hotel costs get divided!

[@farokhnaegamvala1707]

Besides, I personally relate to your own experience in heavenly Kodaikanal because I taught over there long years ago and now I am staying there since January, '19. People such as you are the true light houses for mankind!!!

[@galaxytraveler5779]

Please convince me why I should travel WITH someone. I can't stand other people.

[@Mother_daughter_adventures]

You and me both.

[@nikitasharma8921]

U are right

[@korchageen]

Because it will share the expenditure

[@sabrinalove569]

travel with me

[@mr.filmworm4018]

Don't share too much or don't talk too much, if u r with a company, travel with a person who is enthusiast, you will enjoy with the person and, your expenses will be less.

[@farokhnaegamvala1707]

Wonderful Chintanbhai! Every word you spoke is as valuable as a drop of water to a thirsting person who is lost in the desert that is self created!!

[@stillwatersnightsky6533]

totally agree..but what I liked was his perspective of oneself. . I used to be like him...now buried in what ifs... this reminds me of who I was..and what I need to do now...synchronicity I'd say...

[@numivis7807]

Ive just booked my flight to edinburgh. after 12 month traveling through australia and asia it will be my first time ever traveling all by myself. I don't know where this is coming from but i know that i have to do this and i'm so excited about it

[@omkakade69]

I know I'm a bit late to ask but how was the trip and how was the experience

[@numivis7807]

It was amazing! I actually ended up staying there for 8 months, working at a hostel and a cafe. It definitely was challenging sometimes, being alone and all. But even that was an important experience, and it got really chill once I made some friends @@omkakade69

[@50Street21]

This was a truly poignant presentation with some very important messages. I liked your term: More of everything. You're right, judgement impedes the experience.

[@nithinsathyan2377]

I really want to travel to Europe Solo - travelling to 34 countries in a row, drinking with european peoples, backpacking around major city‘s, visiting museums in Amsterdam. This Goal I will achieve when I will be pulling out thousand dollars per week for like at least two months from forex. So that whenever I will do the expense I don’t have to worry about the money atleast.

[@captainmcduckyYT]

[@miniaturasciencia2918]

When you travel alone people tends to try to take advantage of you as soon as they realize you are alone. Futhermore, to get sick and need medical attention being complete alone in another country will makes you feel miserable as you cant even imagine its possible. Source: i'm a straight man, i know to defend myself, still, both situations happened to me in the same trip.

[@praveensevenhills]
