I travel alone too.

My journey always take me to new places and the feeling it's as you described, all new places are filled with mystery and magic, all new sensations are rewarding.

>>18544280
Keep it up.

>>18544019
I plan to do this in the near future.

>>18544019
I've always wanted to do this, any tips?

>>18544280
Ya I travel alone a lot too. I meet different people and have different experiences when I'm alone, as compared to in a group. To other people I seem more approachable when I'm alone. If I'm in a group I focus on the group and neglect the outside world for the most part. As far as becoming more in tune w/ the culture. Absolutely

>>18544019
I've actually traveled all over the country, Canada, and Mexico all by my lonesome.
Going it alone, I've found that you pay more attention to everything, and at least in my experience, it makes life richer since you'd normally not see or hear anything from those places if you stayed home.
I will say this though - camping by yourself in a country you've never been and have no idea of what's around you can be more than a little frightening.

i hope you researched the area before camping alone in a foreign place. that can be dangerous as hell m8.

>>18544019
I feel like I'd end up catching some foreign disease and die if I even tried this.

>>18544564
Never did, as my travels were more of a necessity than an actual vacation.

>>18544571
dam anon. you survived life's challenges. Sucks you were in that situation, but props for surviving. Tho in the future that's when you gotta meet lokz to get the inside scoop

>>18544576
Trust me, I know better now. Traveling alone for five years will make you realize how stunningly stupid going in blind can be.

Wow, I didn't expect this response. Thank you all for sharing, it's made my journey a little more sweeter.

Something I was just told to avoid, local STDs, funny enough...
But I'm a smart cookie and not looking for ass as the reason of my trip.

>>18544571
Truth.

>>18544758
Nah I didn't mean STDs, just that there's a higher chance of getting sick when going to a new area because all the unfamiliar germs. Before maybe 100 years ago this killed people all the time and still sometimes does. I'm just overly paranoid though.

Hey, a local disease is a local disease, am-i-rite?
I'm guess I'm blessed to have some sort of minimal support on my journey, albeit hundreds of miles away and not too funded.
I'm a Northerner, so my fight is to maintain myself in a land in which I am a stranger with little sustainability, but I make due.
>Hopefully I can start a real life.

>>18544769

Hello friends, I also Travel alone, But this Year I will Do two travels that will be more dangerous than anything I did before, I will risk my life in both, And I'm okay with That, But Could you SHare some Good Travellers tips ?

Mine : always have dollars, always have water , always try to be aware of people/animals around you

>>18544908
For me, the essentials were always clean bottled water or iodine tablets to clean water, a first aid kit, a small fold out knife, and if possible a map of the area you'll be travelling through.
Also a raincoat, those things are actually pretty good for keeping you not only dry but warm as well.
And never, EVER take rides from someone that offers you one without you asking. Just don't. It always ends badly.

>>18544908
Make friends, but with caution and awareness

I went to England alone last year, it was one of the best times of my life. You are able to appreciate little things more when you're alone. And you can go off and do what you like, no one can complain or say otherwise. If I had the means I'd just up and move out of the country, change my name, drop off the map. A fresh start sounds refreshing as fuck.

I do, but I always have. ever since Ii was a little kid I loved exploring and going on hikes or extended walks by myself never for more than a day or at best an over night, but ill get a back pack with some supplies. Food, compass, a book, a gun, a phone, ect and just take off. I find it relaxing, but also kind of scary going to some of these places by myself but thats more exciting.
