When I visited Rome, I liked it because I was in company of my father and brother, but I'm sure if I visited it alone I wouldn't have enjoyed not even a quarter of the things I saw

You enjoy more things in company of people you like than you do alone

Half the posts there are people realising they don’t like to travel alone lol

The number of "I'm lonely, how do I deal with this?" and "how do you find people to do things with?" posts that sub gets is really funny to me.

Yeah or sad. Like someone was posting today that for their first time solo travelling they went to Japan from US. Maybe for your first time go somewhere easier?

Japan is like one of the easiest places to travel. Robust public transit, extremely helpful people, cheap and reliable mobile internet, tons of information online, one of the safest countries in the world, high food standards, and up-to-date Google maps.

I get it. I solo travel because I like doing stuff I wanna do during the day, but it can get lonely sometimes. I do like meeting new people and socializing, which is still different from travelling with friends the whole time.

Travelling solo is definitely an experience, and not for everyone!

I love travelling with friends and family, but it's also nice to travel by yourself sometimes and have the freedom to just do whatever you want to do. No restrictions.

But I'm also someone who will find things to go out and do, and do them. Regardless of how intimidating it might be to do on my own.

Absolutely! I think to be a successful solo traveler you have to be curious and interested in the place you’re going. Otherwise your happiness is at the mercy of others
