Solo traveling I've always loved traveling and discovering new places, but I've always had an issue: my travel buddies. Whereas it's fun to share experiences with friends, sometimes they have different priorities and ways of traveling. Last year I followed a friend's advice and left alone for a 3-weeks interrail trip around Europe. It was a great choice. I loved being able to decide where to go, where to eat and sleep, without having to compromise. I could stay longer in place I loved and I could change my route. Basically I was free to travel my way. What do you guys think? Do you prefer traveling with friends or alone? (Also, please tell me if there are mistakes! Thaanks!)

I've traveled alone to visit someone, but never taken a trip by myself, to be honest. Did you ever feel lonely during the trip?

Solo traveling

I've always loved traveling and discovering new places, but I've always had an issue: my travel buddies. Whereas it's fun to share experiences with friends, sometimes they have different priorities and ways of traveling.

Last year I followed a friend's advice and embarked solo on a 3-week interrail trip around Europe. It was a great choice. I loved being able to decide where to go, where to eat and sleep, without having to compromise. I could choose between staying longer in a place I loved or changing my route. Basically I was free to travel my way.

What do you guys think? Do you prefer traveling with friends or alone?

Very well written, no real mistakes. I just changed a couple sentences to tighten it up. I also felt “left alone” sounded a little awkward. Otherwise it was great!

*or, more formal, travelling companions.
**the genetive case and "..of the.." constructs are normally avoided in modern English, which uses compound nouns instead.
