Women embarking on a solo trip in movies or on social media fascinate a lot of women. However, only some of them go on solo tri[s themselves, while others don't go for various reasons. We asked 10 women why they don't take solo trips. Here's what they had to say:

“I'd like to go on a solo trip, but safety concerns keep me from doing so. I think I am not brave enough to go on one yet.”

-Vanshika Sharma, 22 years old

2. Fear Of Getting Bored

“I am scared that I will get bored. I can't really picture myself staying in a hotel alone, travelling alone, or sightseeing alone. I'll need at least one person with me."

-Pooja Sinha, 37 years old

3. Money

“I believe solo trips require more money . So, first, I'll save up enough money, and then I'll plan the trip.”

-Amulya Joshi, 21 years old

4. Parents

"I've wanted to go for a long time, but my parents don't allow me. They believe the environment is not safe, especially for women, and I somewhat agree with them."

-Shadma Muskan, 24 years old

5. Safety Issues

“As a woman, it's difficult to plan a solo trip. When planning, there are many more factors to be consider, and there will be a constant concern of safety. All of this thinking prevents me from taking a solo trip.”

-Shivangani Singh, 23 years old

6. Friends

“I love the idea of a solo trip but whenever I try to plan one, at least one of my friends joins me, and the plan eventually changes to friends trip.”

7. Fear Of Mismanagement

“I'm not sure I'll be able to handle everything on a trip by myself." From hotels to travel, there is a lot of planning involved, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it all on my own.”
