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

Very well written post!

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.

Not only was your post moving it was also very true. 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 i WILL BE TRAVELING SOON hopefully not on my own for my first trip. haha. but who knows what lies ahead.

thanks again

hi greg, lovely post, i travelled solo once and would do that in a heartbeat again. 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.

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? 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
