It’s no surprise that I’m a believer in the power of solo travel. Six years of exploring the world has made me appreciate the freedom of my own company, even in a place that is new to me.
Yet solo travel can be intimidating – especially at first. When I traveled to Bangkok by myself for the first time, I was nervous until the plane took off. But my other life-changing trips would not have happened if I never took that initial leap of faith.
The confidence to travel by yourself is more about your mind than it is about your abilities. Solo travel forces you to believe in your strength, and soon enough you’ll realize you can accomplish more than what you thought possible.
But if you still need that extra push to commit to your next adventure, take it from these 32 quotes that capture the joys of solo travel. Their words reflect the extraordinary experience of venturing into the unknown, alone:

4. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.” —Robert Frost

6. “The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before.” —Alan Ashley-Pitt
7. “Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” —Ibn Battuta
8. “When you’re (traveling) with someone else, you share each discovery, but when you are alone, you have to carry each experience with you like a secret, something you have to write on your heart, because there’s no other way to preserve it.” —Shauna Niequist
9. “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” —Jane Austen

11. “My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.” —Rumi

14. “The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.” —Henry David Thoreau
15. “It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others…Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion’s questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.” —Alain de Botton
16. “It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn, which is what life is all about.” —Oprah Winfrey

21. “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” —Roald Dahl
22. “For if every true love affair can feel like a journey to a foreign country, where you can’t quite speak the language, and you don’t know where you’re going, and you’re pulled ever deeper into the inviting darkness, every trip to a foreign country can be a love affair, where you’re left puzzling over who you are and whom you’ve fallen in love with.” —Pico Iyer
23. “Don’t be scared to walk alone.
Don’t be scared to like it.” —John Mayer

31. “And if I’d be left alone in the woods again, I smiled to think how I’d find new gifts and thrive. At the end of a long trail and the beginning of the rest of my life, I was committed to always loving myself. I would put myself in that win-win situation.” —Aspen Matis
32. “Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.” —Walt Whitman
These quotes give you a sense of what solo travel is like, but it’s something you need to experience for yourself. It may seem scary at first, but discomfort means growth. It’s no wonder why more people have decided to venture by themselves over the years.
Traveling alone led me down an incredible path—one I never thought possible nine years ago. I hope these quotes motivate you to consider taking your next trip solo. Do you have a quote that inspires your inner solo traveler? Share your experiences and thoughts!
