I guess it really depends on who you end up with as a travel buddy and how compatible you are.

I included it in a post over at BootBlog: <a href="http://www.bootblog.org/08-09/should-i-travel-solo.html" rel="nofollow">Should I travel solo?</a> I find it interesting that you say you're more open to meeting people when you're with a friend. I'm totally the opposite: I'm not a naturally outgoing person, so I really only reach out to other travelers when I get too lonely on my own. But I've made some amazing friends on my solo trips, so we do kind of end up traveling with friends either way. :) Nice article Kristy.

I usually travel solo but not always - I do sometimes travel with someone and I've experienced most of the above. BUT - I'd still rather go on my own, despite the advantages. I just find that solo travel rarely means traveling on my own - mostly it means traveling with a greater variety of people, with travel partners changing with each destination. What it really means is that I'm traveling solo as a rule, adding companions to my trip as I go along and when I like. When I travel with someone, being alone - which I often need to do - is a lot harder. I still prefer the solo route. You make a lot of good points!
