  Consider three of them.
</div>

<h2>It&rsquo;s Your Time</h2>

<div>
  When you travel alone on an assignment, the time is all yours. You won&rsquo;t
  experience a time crunch trying to finish work, so you can get back to your
  place and give attention to a family member or friend. You&rsquo;re on your
  own schedule, and you won&rsquo;t need to check with anyone to coordinate time
  for exploring, choosing a place for dinner, or anything else.
</div>



<div>
  If you want to rest, read, work on a project, or just let the day happen, you
  can do so uninterrupted and guilt free. The freedom to schedule, or not to
  schedule, your day can be very appealing.
</div>

<h2>Know Yourself Better</h2>

<div>
  Traveling alone can take you out of your comfort zone and help you know
  yourself better. Your reaction to traveling without a partner, being alone in
  your accommodations, finding your way around town, or getting lost can reveal
  things about yourself that you didn&rsquo;t know. You&rsquo;ll find more
  reasons to love yourself and laugh at yourself.
</div>



<div>
  When you go it alone, there&rsquo;s no one to negotiate with, so you&rsquo;ll
  have more time than usual to catch up with yourself. You can:
</div>

<ul>
  <li>Explore your interests in unfamiliar art, music, or food</li>
  <li>Meditate on your life and the goals you want to set</li>
  <li>Be yourself without having to compromise on your peferences</li>
</ul>

<h2>Increase Your Self-Confidence</h2>

<div>
  If you&rsquo;re the sole decision maker on your next assignment, it can
  increase your self-confidence. As you meet new people without being
  introduced, learn to navigate through a city, and handle challenges on your
  own, it can be rewarding. Your confidence in your ability to independently and
  successfully make thoughtful choices and solve problems can be very
  satisfying. You&rsquo;ll learn more about how smart, strong, and capable you
  really are.
</div>

<div>
  Search for opportunities with Cross Country Allied, and choose where
  you&rsquo;d like to go on your next travel assignment. If you decide to go
  alone, we can help with travel and housing arrangements, or you can plan it
  yourself.
