aww this is a lovely article. it is my opinions that not enough people “travel solo” and manage to enjoy time alone without all the modern conviences. i went on a paragliding trip in the alps a few years ago, glided to one mountain, explored, camped, glided to the next one and so on. it was the best thing I’ve ever done. It was so lovely to just be on my own in the sky, surrounded by such beautiful scenery.

Yay JJ! Great article! Self-discovery really is what solo travel is all about. I’ve done both — travel with others and more recently I’ve been trekking by myself with my dog, the RV way. People ask “aren’t you bored?” No, I’m not! I’m a writer and it’s really perfect. New sights, sounds, experiences fuel the writing which is great in the early mornings and evenings — midday is for travel or site seeing. It’s also great for sky watching, star gazing, and of course hiking, walking, reading and meditating. But, as JJ says, the first step is being comfortable alone. For someone who hasn’t tried it yet, start small. Go on an overnight trip first and get used to solo travel. Build up to the longer road trips. Then enjoy!

Great article, JJ! It touches upon what I believe is the most crucial point about solo travel (where the rubber meets the road, if you will):

Can you be alone with yourself (and contentedly so)?

Especially when you have no distractions or diversions, like Internet, TV, iPod, cell phone, and such. And what does it say about us if we discover that we can’t be alone with ourselves?
