The differentiation is laid out quite well here and I thank my lucky stars for not letting anyone or anything get between me and my solo journeys!   Trying to get people to understand “Alone” is not “Lonely” is almost as exhausting as traveling with other people.

Thank you; I hope it inspires a few more solo travelers-to-be to book that plane ticket. What a brilliant and sensitive way to differentiate feeling lonely from feeling alone.

The routine that we used to do is no longer there to share with your love one that makes us feel lonely. The routine that we used to do alone does not change so that's why we do not feel lonely. I love to travel but prefer to have a friend just to discuss, to talk, to share a good experience. I agreed with you 100%.

Lonliness for me is not cured by having other people around, it is 'cured' by having a sense of intimacy - with one person, with a memory, with meditation, etc. Oddly enough, that inner sense can be taken away by having people around with whom one is expected to engage.

I often feel more alone in large crowds than I do when actually on my own. I think that it's important to really have a handle on your emotions and what makes you comfortable and uncomfortable. This is especially true when traveling when you are throwing yourself into so many unpredictable situations- you want to be in your best mental state. This is a lovely article.
