I couldn't travel with a gooshy person. Europeans don't like it either.

Solo travel is absolutely best, for many reasons.

WE TRAVEL TO LEARN.
AND PARTIALLY MORE ABOUT OURSELVES.

We yanks come on too strong. the best way to handle "foreigners" is ask a question and sit back. Hear 'em out, Its all we'd ask.

Avoid the trap of hanging out with your own nationality. You can't learn beans that way.
Why not go home, a little wiser than when you left.

Your trip will pay for itself that way.

Solo and slow is the absolute best way. Take time to learn things.

More fun than expensive hangovers.

I travel solo (most of the time). My hangovers are generally free.
It's the expense of the bit before the hangover that burns my pocket.

thanks you meant this , didn't you?
Been travelling around the world for years. My know it all attitude only comes from experience. We all learn from each other. I’d put one of those maps on here, but an overnighter is not seeing the country. Australian proverb"We’re all in this together, mahyte. One hand washes the other." Don’t compare the other places to home. Its apples and oranges. If ya gotta have things like your home/stay home. 2 yrs working on Swedish cargo ships. Then 2.4 yrs in oz. (40 years ago) And 6+ yrs. of learning like crazy from TT. ;o) If ya think they prob’ly don’t speak English…ask. You’d be surprised how many “foreigners” have lived stateside. Stereotypes are bogus! I began wanting to learn after I ignored several warnings. Oops. ;o)
