In the old days, we assumed that no-one was single by choice. They were simply biding their time, waiting for the right person to come along. Nowadays, the number of single people is higher than ever before and we’re suitably enlightened. A growing body of research points to the fact that many people are actively choosing to be alone – in part because of the benefits of solitude this allows them. In a recent sample of people who described themselves as “single at heart,” 95 percent said they savored the thought of being alone, while just 5 percent were worried about being alone. Little wonder that single people are more likely to hold “a sense of continued growth and development as a person”,  as this separate piece of research shows.

If you travel the world, you’re likely to have moments when you’re alone. If you’re uncomfortable with this, you might find things tricky. You may even start to feel insecure with any experiences that oblige you to spend time solo (a long train trip, say, or a hotel stay where you’re not likely to meet other people). On the other hand, if you’re the kind of person who can feel confident using that time for reflection and enjoyment – well, you’ll have the traveling gig nailed.
