To many, holidays are all about family, parties, spending, overplanned social calendars, kids off school, and perhaps even a trip away. Well this year, I'm on that trip away and for the first time, I will be spending the entire holiday season solo. For many, the notion of being alone for the holidays garners depression and misery. It can be a really tough time of year. But it doesn't have to be. By opting to travel during the holiday season, I've made a choice to be alone. Solo travel has taught me how to get comfortable in my own skin, how to find a family of friends on the road, and how to get out of my comfort zone. And the normal stress that comes with the holiday season simply does not exist.
