  • Chintan shares his thoughts on why one must travel alone, at least once in their lifetime. For if you don’t enjoy your own company every once in a while, why will others?
    Chintan Ruparel is the co-founder and chief curator of Terribly Tiny Tales - India's largest platform on the social web today. With one tweet sized story (140 character long), TTT brings together a diverse pool of fantastic writers from varied backgrounds. He has also directed the short film ‘Deuce’ in 2015 under their very own Terribly Tiny Talkies banner. A football enthusiast, Chintan loves meeting new people and embarking on travel and adventure journeys alone!
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    lol, it's funny that so many Indians go abroad alone for a new job and stay there, but travelling alone seems like such a big deal.

      Don't share too much or don't talk too much, if u r with a company, travel with a person who is enthusiast, you will enjoy with the person and, your expenses will be less.

    I strongly agree!! I'm currently in London where I've been living for 1,5 months... I had no prospects or plans or specific reasons to come, except a feeling inside of me that told me that I had to go! I've took a student loan and went - my first time ever traveling alone, and not knowing anybody here. I feel like this trip has made me hole again - I know myself better than I ever have before ... I can relate to everything he said and I strongly encourage everyone to travel by them self at least once !!

      It was amazing! I actually ended up staying there for 8 months, working at a hostel and a cafe. It definitely was challenging sometimes, being alone and all. But even that was an important experience, and it got really chill once I made some friends

    This Goal I will achieve when I will be pulling out thousand dollars per week for like at least two months from forex.

    When you travel alone people tends to try to take advantage of you as soon as they realize you are alone. Futhermore, to get sick and need medical attention being complete alone in another country will makes you feel miserable as you cant even imagine its possible. Source: i'm a straight man, i know to defend myself, still, both situations happened to me in the same trip.
