Last week I had a holiday from work, but    1    of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto.

One week by myself. Would I be lonely? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits coming from traveling alone.

I am very proud of myself for travelling alone and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. However, in the future, I    9     (prefer) to travel with another person or in a small group. Who you travel with matters, though. I would rather    10     (do) it by myself than   go with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative.
