Teacher: Mike Kane

    There are more and more people trying to travel on their own recently. We can find many travel experiences, lots of ticket and hotel information on the internet. If you want to travel, you don’t need to rely on a travel agency anymore. Although there are many advantages to planning to travel by yourself; there are still some disadvantages you need to know.


    One of the advantages is you can arrange all of the places you want to visit. You can visit the place you really interested in that is the most important thing in travel. You don’t need to waste your time to follow an agency uniform schedules; therefore, you would have more fun in your travel. The second advantage is that the price would be flexible. The budget of travel includes the cost of flight, accommodation, and communications, the tickets, meals…etc. Besides these regular costs, you can accord the budget to choice the hotel and meals you want. Some people pay attention to sleep, and they could pay more money to reserve a better hotel. Some people just want to have many experiences in taste food; thus, they could eat the food which is really popular of the residents and go to some good restaurants in that area. The most important thing in traveling on your own is you can learn how to deal with the trivial matters well, and you also can find a different yourself on the trip! Understanding places on your point of view. Although here are so many bloggers share their schedule and experience of arranging travel, you still need to notice all the details by yourself. If you have some trouble on your trip, you need to solve it by yourself. Though a travel on your own, you would gain not only a travel memory but also improve the ability to solve unexpected problems.

    On the other hand, planning a travel on your own has several disadvantages. The most important one is you need to face some risk. For example, finding a safe and comfortable place to stay is a little difficult, controlling the time to take a bus or a train…etc. It’s hard to control all the things. If something uncontrolled, you need to undertake the risks even if it might have you some troubles. Another disadvantage is that planning a travel on your own is much inconvenienced. Here are so many things you need to understand and reserve by yourself before you start your schedule. For instance, research all of the travel information and reserve all the tickets…etc. If you lose anything in your schedule, you will have trouble. Of course, you need to have good communication skills. If you can’t understand the language in the destination and your English is also poor, maybe you can’t find out the information you gain. Then, your trip couldn't bring you lots of fun as you expect.


    In brief, even though travel by your own have lots of challenges, it’s still charming to many modern people. You need to study hard before your departure, and visit all the spot step by step by yourself. It would bring you satisfaction. However, if you want to have a relax trip, you can join a agency trip and you don’t need to worry about anything. If you want to challenge your ability and have strong curiosity, you must plan a trip by your own and you would get a different experience trip. Before start to travel, don’t forget to think about what kind of trip you really want first!
