Will the society accept me if I say that I love traveling with my family? 🥺 Especially mom cuz she loves traveling and to see her so happy and energetic makes me feel fulfilled. It’s my dream to take her to Europe on my expense

I relate
Had a couple of trips with mom, and I understood I am the asshole traveller who cribs, whines, delays plans.
She is energetic, excited to see everything, and obviously ensures I eat and drink right. I dont have to worry falling ill when with her

Consultant

Yaaas! Exactly. And I realized in an effort to take better care of her, I end up taking extra care for both of us. Next level awareness

I traveled solo and make friends on the trip itself. If you don't like the company than part away.

Tech Lead

When life gives lamon: Solo. (Need peace in this moment) 
  
 All well: Group Trip. 
  
  
 In every solo trip I make new friends. And feel connected with new vibes.

Software Developer

Solo or with couple of friends (2-3), that’s it.

I’ve done a bit of both solo and group travel, and each has its pros and cons.  For me, solo travel is refreshing, I can do whatever I want without waiting for anyone, but group travel is also a lot of fun to create memories with friends.

What’s your take on this?

Solo travel vs group travel. Which one do you prefer and why?

Solo travel vs group travel. Which one do you prefer and why?- Grapevine

The number of times I've heard people say shit like 'traveling makes you grow as a person'. Someone please specify what this growth looks like because I've never experienced it.

I don't think traveling is life-changing. I think most people have a romanticized, cinema-like idea of traveling that has been exaggerated even more because of social media. 

It definitely is fun to go on a vacation. But in most cases, that's all it is -- a source of entertainment. Maybe an ice-breaker the next time you go to some pretentious party. 

Am I missing something?

Is travelling overrated?

It depends how & where u travel.  
  
 I will put a quick example - Someone close to me always assumed ki roads usually breakdown in monsoons because it is normal in india. Once they traveled abroad and to a tropical island where rains are very common. After seeing the roads there, first comment was - “Roads don’t break always due to rains”. So, this was a life long learning for that human, broke the mirage of road quality and execution in India.  
  
 Similarly, once I went to a 3-days long trek with a friend to inner jungles of SEAsia. We had to carry drinking water with us & took bath in flowing river. If you have seen “Iss jungle se mujhe bachao” (desi version of fear factor) was shot there. This friend of mine after landing back made a statement “yaar jisne bhi shower invent kiya hai, it’s a big gift”. Takeaway from this travel was - He was able to appreciate the simplest thing which we take for granted.  
  
 Many people learn new things about culture, practices of a new place. My personal surprise was when I traveled to Bali and saw similarities between theirs n ours practices. Helped me to go back n read about various things of empires.  
  
 Multiple such stories, so yeah, it depends!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

Market Research

Planning trips with friends seems impossible now, planning to join groups from trekking, wondering if it is a good idea as i will be solo and people might come in groups.

Travelling solo in a group

Hey guys I’ve never travelled solo in my entire life. Where and How should I start?

There are few questions I’ve like:
1. How to handle accommodations?
2. Concern about the safety and security.
3. How to decide which places to visit. I mean can’t roam around uselessly, must have a list of places to visit.
4. Whom to believe, in the sense that, a lot of people are ready scam you when they find you are new here, how to handle that.

If you travel solo very often, then suggest some pointers to keep in mind.
So, guide me here plzz.
Thanks 🫡

How do you plan solo travelling ?

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. 

About me: 
- Female, 28
- mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted
- single and normally attractive
- Jinxed when it comes to relationships
- Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr
- not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations

My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.

Convince me to get married

After a few failed relationships, I had an arranged marriage (at that time, it was just to fulfill what my parents wanted). She was a very conventional girl,, never had any relationship before. I was scared going into the marriage too. 
  
 5 years later, she is the best thing that has happened to me. She helped me explore things I never would have. She gave my life a different perspective. 
  
 I'm not saying just because it happened to me, it could happen to you too. I'm saying unless you take the leap you'll never know what you're missing out on.

Been thinking about going for an international trip lately. Asked a bunch of friends, but it looks like it's just gonna be me. Anyone here who has travelled solo? Thoughts on those "Make My Trip" packages? Or any other cool recommendations?

How to find hobbies or anything that I like to do? I’m in Bengaluru, with a lot of free time. I don’t know what I like anymore. I frequently watch movies from theatre and that’s the only thing I do now

How to find hobbies?

Get married. 
  
 If you don't know what to do, your wife will ensure you do what she wants you to do.

Holi hai? Diwali hai? So what, nothing to enjoy. Lets spend the day laying on the bed, watching stuff over phone. Feeling less and less disconnected with friends, to the point where I feel I don't even have friends. College friends are based in another city. Didn't even try to make friends at workplace. Stuck alone in my homecity as past 6 years I was based somewhere else completing my grad and preparing for jee. Prior to that focused a lot on studies. So had little to no interaction with people during academics. And now when I have time and money to spend, there is noone with whom I can have fun with.

The older I get, the lesser my excitement becomes for festivals

Moved to a city from a Village. I felt the same. The reason is that cities are culturally and morally bankrupt.  Except mindless consumerism and inflated egos , cities teach you nothing. 
 The longer one lives in cities, people just become animals in fine clothes.
