should I travel in a group or on my own??

Hey~ guys~ I am back!

I have been thinking about whether I should travel in a group in this trip or just  one my own.
There are a lot of advantages of travelling in a group:
- It is a much safer choice to travel in a group than travelling on my own
- Will not experience feelings of loneliness during the journey,
- Travelling in a group provides convenience and they could help each other to carry luggages or other things.
- Can take photos at a long range
- To help around if there is an emergency or accident
- Having someone to talk to and share fun experience on the journey
- Having someone to collaborate with if one encounter a difficulty such as lost in the woodlands.

Despite all those advantages mentioned, there are also a lot of disadvantages of travelling in a group, these might include:
- Very limited freedom as not much free time are allowed for individual to wander around in a group travel
- the routine is set and is not flexible
- the scheduled routine might not suit one's interest
- might not be as fun as once expected as the routine is not flexible
- Likelihood of other people's violation of your privacy or personal details
- Personal items and valuables are not 100 % secure if the person were to share rooms with the group.

The advantages of travelling on one's own includes:
-Having a lot of freedom and flexibility as everything is all under the control of herself/himself
-Privacy will not be violated
- A lot of flexibility
- The routine is effectively designed to suit one's favourites and interests so there will not be any boring stuff.
- Don't have to be restrained as much


The disadvantages of travelling on one's own are as follows:
- Personal security is not garanteed
- Likelihood of exposing oneself to dangerous situation as no one is beside her/him to warn them of the perilous actions and situations such as taking out a large amount of money in public areas.
- More likely to be targeted by robbers and thieves as they are alone
- No one is able to help if one is in danger

Personally, I do not agreed to take on either of these two options as there are  too many disadvantages than advantages to each of these. Hence, I am going to travel to USA, England, china, France, Italy with my elder sister. It is much safer than travelling on my own and we can take care of each other on the way,so there will not be any feeling of loneliness during the trip.Having someone to talk to and share fun experience is actually a very important element in order to have a wonderful holiday.
