Kansas once sang to me- Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done I am not yet done, but I have definitely found a lot of peace when I am wayward. Management Consultant by profession, music buff for a long time, then the travel bug bit me..And suddenly every day seems like a new quest for adventure. I prefer to travel solo, not because I am socially awkward, but because solo travel gives you a freedom like no other travel can. Go where you want to, stop where you want to, see what you want to, no one to judge you. My bike and me, that is all I need when I am on my solo trip. Further, a solo trip helps you to know who is important to you when you are back to civilization, cause they are the people you have missed the most when you were traveling alone. So travel not because you want to be away from your folks my friend, travel because you want to be closer to them when you are back :)
