Travelling alone gets people addicted? After my last solo trip, which was to Foz de Iguaçu, Brazil, a lot of people came and asked me: ''Why didn't you invite me? I would love to go there with you!''. As a matter of fact, I didn't even think about inviting someone. I actually like travelling alone and I think I got so used to this that I don't think to travel with someone else anymore. It is strange to think about it because I always say I didn't start travelling alone for choice, but for lack of choice. At the time, I found myself eager for travelling, but nobody was willing to do it with me for lack of time, money or other excuse. Then, I started travelling alone, which was one of the best decisions of my life. After a while, my friends have changed, their finantial status have changed for the better and it seems more of my friends are willing to travel, but I still doing it solo pretty much because I got used to that. Have I become individualist? I have thought a lot about it and maybe I can go with someone else in my next trip. After all, travelling is about having experiences, and I think it is time to have experiences that are not so individualist anymore.

Great language skills! I usually travel with my wife -- sometimes she gets a bit grumpy on the road but I enjoy travelling with her anyway. A bad travelling partner can be a disaster as well, some people change completely when they travel and their dark side comes out, so you really get to know another side of the person when you're travelling. But yes, it's true, sharing those experiences are usually a joy. If you have a language question or comment please send me a message, take care,

Exatcly friend. I feel travelling alone is like an escape from reallity. You take a break from everything - your friends, your family, your job, etc. And yes, it is an awesome opportunity to meet knew people and practice languages. Thanks for the comment. Regards.

Traveling solo is amazing for me. I can meet people easier at hostels and events. When I travel with 1 or more people, I feel we just hang out with each other and don't meet as many people. Your English is great. Cheers!
