Becoming both resilient and independent is just another great plus to your own personal development.

1. Adaptability
First of all, new situations require you to adapt yourself to them. Whether you want this to happen or not, you just have to!

And additional planning skills will improve, too. Starting with zero skills in that area? After your first solo journey, you’ll have them, promised!

That’s because you’ve seen so many different perspectives, gone through so many diverse moments, and you become able to combine different thoughts and that’s creativity!
