  • It's easier to be taken advantage of by the locals, and you become an easier target for thieves that prey on tourists.
  • It often works out cheaper to travel with friends/a partner, as you can get to split costs for food, transport and hotels.

On the plus side, though, you might also get to befriend other travellers/locals, that would have otherwise thought you're not approachable, and make new friends more easily.

  • Advantages: You get to make all of the decisions. You don't have to compromise on anything. It's cheaper to travel alone. Solitude can be refreshing. You can make new friends more easily alone. Disadvantages: Some things are better to experience with companionship. It may be lonely. You'd have to dine alone unless you made new acquaintances at your destination. It's probably less safe to travel alone. You'd have no one to share memories with.
