阅读短文,回答下列问题。
Do you like to travel alone(独自旅行)? Or do you think it's better to travel with friends? If you're still deciding, please read on.
Traveling alone really shows you what you're made of and helps you find the inner strength(内心的力量) you didn't know you have. And
it also gives you time to think and learn.
It's easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you're hardly ever alone. When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world.
In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There's lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there's another thing to worry about: Things can and often do go wrong. One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other.
It's true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety(安全感). You know that if you get lost or get things lost, there's someone to hold your hand when you try to tell it to the police in another country.
There's no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it's up to you.
