I’ve been traveling alone most of my life. Many people are genuinely surprised by this and almost always ask the same question: “Aren’t you bored by yourself?” No, it’s not boring. I like the freedom that independent travel gives. If I wanted to stay in a beautiful place for a few hours, I’m staying. I
