The Himalayan Times

A few weeks ago when I first arrived in Kathmandu, I read the Himalayan Times and in one section they posed a question, would you travel solo or in a group.

Isent in my reply and am happy to share that it was published as the feature answer in the next week's Sunday Edition.

Travelling alone a gift to one’s soul. When you explore a place on your own, your senses are more attuned to the sights, sound, smell, taste and feel of the locale, providing you with a more fulfiling sense of the place. You travel solo but you are never alone. By indulging in to the whims of your soul’s curiosity without any limitations or distractions which you often get when travelling with a group, you enhance your chances of stumbling into opportunities which enable you to interact with locals and engage in activities you may not have otherwise, making the experience more personal and much more unforgettable. It's memory will no longer just be captured on film or stored in your mind, it will be etched in your soul. - Romena Romuar
