If you need to, go alone. This is my first time traveling anywhere alone. Yes I am staying each night with an old friend (don't discredit me yet), but I traveled to Scotland alone, and I have been in Edinburgh all day as well. Being here alone for just one day has made me realize how exhilerating it can be! I just climbed a cliff, and literally laughed out loud at the top for reasons I can't even explain.
It may have been sheer amazement that I made it to the top, it may have been at the absolute beauty down beneath me, but I really think it was due to the fact that I did something amazing and bucket list worthy all on a whim on my own. I didn't know what to do in Edinburgh, as I hadn't planned anything for the trip, but I saw it was an attraction, and decided, why the heck not....and I did it.
After wheezing and sweating and constantly having to convince my mind I could climb it, I made it to the top and had the opportunity to take in God's glorious lands beneath me. I got to have a little celebration in my own head for doing something amazing. I didn't need the push from anyone else to do it, I have a strong enough mind set on my own to make myself do something great, and that is a pretty damn good feeling.
I was proud, and on the way down, which thankfully I did not fall, I just looked up and marveled at how awesome it was to be at the top admiring below me, to instantly being at the bottom gazing to the top with a powerful mind set of "crushed it" (catch my pitch perfect reference?).
All I am saying, is everyone deserves to have that little victory in their head, that moment of utter amazement at what you can do, that feeling of being in a land you have never been and don't know where to go next. The world is a pretty incredible place, go see for yourself.
