I enjoy traveling alone because....I concentrate fully on the experience at hand. As soon as you're with someone you're in a bubble in relation to your environment. You miss conversations on the street because you're involved with your own conversations. You miss the quirks of a town because you have the safety of another person. You're more insulated from the place you are visiting than when you confront it raw.
But despite my ease and comfort and at times, joy, in traveling solo...you always have moments when you realize you're not connected to anyone or anything .....you're invisible......no one cares.....that's the time when you pull the cell phone or the laptop out and say hello to the people in your world.....just to make sure you exist.
