What do you think about traveling solo when you've got a wife/husband/kids at home? Seems like that would be much harder. Interesting take on the solo experience.

After travelling for a while with a friend from home, I can confirm I definitely prefer to travel alone. No arguments, things are done quicker, and it's much easier to meet new people alone than travelling with someone else. Very well written post!

Some walks of life not only divides people but brings them together as well. I am finding that out the hard way as my walk of life expands. Thank you for the lovely and very moving post. I needed to hear a good story :D i WILL BE TRAVELING SOON hopefully not on my own for my first trip. haha. but who knows what lies ahead. thanks again Not only was your post moving it was also very true.

But, people (your friends, family) still think ur depressed if u want to go solo, but then ur more approachable to others and make many unknown friends on the way. I was invited to live in a hut with a family in Lumbini, Nepal as i had nowhere to sleep that night. I made really good friends on that trip. hi greg, lovely post, i travelled solo once and would do that in a heartbeat again.

I have been before but that was with a few friends. I booked a flight with my friend but he backed out but i don't want to lose my money and I also really want to go again. I would say im not the best person to start a conversation to people so I am a bit nervous. is there any advice and tips or if you are going on your own the same time and are as nervous as me? richardpwills@hotmail.com Hey, Im a 22 year old student from the UK and I’m going traveling to Thailand from the beginning of December for a month on my own and was wondering what advice you can give me?

Just read this post by coincidence. What a beautifully written post! I loved it. I am going to Thailand for the first time, and alone for the first time, this July. Your post really made me more comfortable with the thought of going alone. I almost can't wait now! Hope the rest of your trip was as fantastic as what you described here. Sounds wonderful! Hi!

I am also a solo traveller right now. While it's great to travel with friends and be able to share certain experiences, there are few things as free as being on the road by yourself and being free to make your own decisions at any whim. Even getting lost on your own can be a fun adventure, but with someone else it can just be stressful. That is so lovely!

Skype.com has made my life ten times better because now I can call people and revive my old friendships. I have a question, you wrote, "I am sitting cross legged on a sandy bamboo mat, watching another masterpiece of a West Thailand sunset dismiss an island day." Is this rhetorically writing or are you in Thailand, there is a link on the side of the page that says you are in Lexington, Kentucky?

Sometimes local people will make a big deal about it (I'm in Latin America). Oh no, you poor thing. It must be boring, no? Don't you have any friends? It's the only thing that has been a drawback. Otherwise I've had so many wonderful experiences that I wouldn't have had with one or more fellow-travelers.
