heyo, I've been traveling for ~15 years now, been to ~30 countries so far and it continues to be extremely rewarding and fuuuun.
I've had travel partners now and then, though I prefer solo traveling for the absolute wide-open "guess I'll go walk toward that mountain in the distance for 4 hours" and "guess I'll try 8 gelato flavors today" type of freedom that is very difficult to attain traveling with others.
I'm traveling solo in Matsuyama, Japan right now. Today I decided on a whim to take a train to Imabari, hung out at a temple, found my favorite yuzu ponzu sauce at a grocery store, spent a couple hours at a public bath, practiced some Japanese, stopped at a random yakitori restaurant on the way back, talked in terrible Japanese with the staff who were very kind and gave me a free shirt I'm wearing now! Pictures of the amazing food here.
I love solo traveling so much I keep doing it and talking about it, nothing else really compares for me. it's certainly worth looking into and If you have any specific questions or concerns, I and the travel community are here as resources for anyone interested, so feel free to reach out. Apartments, healthcare, jobs, transportation, budgeting, whatever, I'm happy to talk.
I was going to recommend you to the OP!
Thanks, I'm flattered! Feel free to do so on the next opportunity, I'll be there ready to not shut up about travel, haha.
I figured you would be!
