“It must get lonely, travelling alone?”
Actually, no. I’m really enjoying it so far. Yes, there are many times when I would love to say to someone, wow look at that! But for the most part, its good to feel smack-dab-right-up-against-the-world. It’s right in my face, all the time , and there is no-one else there to shield me. And not that much time to think. So much to take in, but still the need to be aware. And that is a plus. Being present. Here. Now. People don’t hesitate to talk to me. I meet the locals, and learn so much. It might get ‘old’ at some point but so far – it’s all good. For the most part, people are friendly and helpful, and curious about me too. Having said that, I must also remember to be wary of strangers who seem just too friendly, and Never blindly answer the constant ‘ what’s your name’ and ‘where you stay’? Otherwise be prepared to find they just happen to be hanging around when I go out the next day, and much too anxious to re-engage. There’s lots of good advice for women travelling alone. Take it all in. Make those right reactions automatic, and stay safe.
