When going with someone you will never find a person matchin our personality perfectly. They’ll either be more ambitious (nagging you to go see more stuff when you can barely walk after the whole day) or a lot more lazy (slowing you down and causing you to see less then you planned). It’s not a bad idea to travel alone but 3 months seems kinda extreme.

I have never traveled alone and I don’t think that I would I would be to scared too, yes I sound like a baby, but one hears of all these stories about how people have been caught with drugs that they didn’t even know were on them, look I wouldn’t help people with their luggage but still I am sure you get my point here.

it’s so funny, i was hanging out with my friend the other day who was talking about his trip to seattle and it was the same thing. you don’t have to worry about people saying, i don’t want to go THERE, or i don’t want to eat THAT, or let’s get up at THIS time tomorrow. as for myself, i’m kind of sheltered when it comes to knowing the world, so if you’re a woman traveling over seas make sure that you know exactly what you’re getting into. i think i’d be OK going to japan again by myself, but i went to bali with a couple friends and when it was just me and my other girlfriend there were moments that were kind of sketchy. but i think i told you, my life goal is to visit all 50 states. i think i would be ok doing that by myself, at least for the most part. i dunno if i could do all 50 alone lol

Travelling alone definitely has its advantages, but also some major disadvantages. I have been to several countries all alone, where I speak little to none of the local language. It can be very isolating at times, but like you said, opens up possibilities to learn more and meet new people. It’s really about your state of mind.

I actually like to travel alone for the same reasons. My biggest thing is about the schedule. Unless you travel with someone who has the same sleeping and waking schedule, priorities on the ‘tourist-y’ things to do, food preferences, it’s going to be a challenge in some way. I just find that traveling alone as a woman is not as safe as when you travel as a single male.
