I'm about to start backpacking with a friend of mine throughout the US.
He has never really done much travelling before and is super excited to be doing this together.
Problem is, I really want to travel solo, as I want to meet new people, couchsurf, spend days doing nothing really except sitting on tinder and meeting locals, and leave all the shackles of my life in my home country behind.
I can't ditch him entirely, because we've already planned to meet up, but how can I manage this/what can I say to him to explain this without ruining a really good friendship?
Is it possible to do these things while travelling together? Or what can I say to be able to part ways entirely?

I didn't. It just so happens we're both going to the same place at the same time.
oh bro you'll be fine. after a week or two in he'll be doing his own thing. you guys will get into all sorts of shit together. just don't let him stop you from doing what you want, drag his ass along even if he doesnt wanna go where you go or tell him to fuck right off
t. someone who has been hitching around the us for 3 years nonstop
