I used to intentionally travel solo and loved it. Every trip I'd do I'd get that familiar feeling of when you're learning a new skill and feel totally lost. Navigating public transport in the new city, trying to make dinner reservations on your own in another language, etc. Something about doing it alone instead of having friends or a partner to lean on or share it with makes it more intimidating and equal parts empowering. You've inspired me to start prioritizing this again! :)
Thanks so much for your comment! I agree, it's overcoming the challenge that makes solo travel exhilarating.. I'm addicted and can't wait for more adventures!!
I'd add one key point to all of yours: Traveling and immersing yourself in other cultures with different kinds of people is the very best education you can receive.
