Venturing out in smaller numbers is ideal because it stands to benefit you as an individual in a host of ways:
1. There is individual attention that doesn’t cause you to feel left out or neglected. Often, when you travel in herds, half of the people are bound to be shadowed because there just isn’t enough time to spend on every person there. And that results in bitterness and crankiness, which is really avoidable. Hence, traveling in small groups makes you feel wanted and like you’re an important asset to make the trip a success.
2. Safety measures are greater enhanced because the guides are able to focus their attention on you and don’t try to hurry matters up, therefore doing a half-hearted job with everyone. Through this, they make you realize how valuable your life is and aren’t of the mindset, “Oh! Let’s get this over and done with already!” Boy! Could that be a bummer!
3. You are able to better understand and experience the place you head out to because you’re spoken to informally, like a gang of chuddie-buddies, no strings attached. This carefree, relaxed attitude makes you want to learn more and understand people and their cultures better. As a result, reservoirs of knowledge can be shared and multiple friendships can be developed, some that will hopefully last you a lifetime.
