What they dont tell you about solo travelling
Booked myself a 4 month long solo backpacking trip throughout southeast asia and the east coast of Australia. Everyone told me I was going to have an amazing time and that I was going to meet lots of people! Now of course, these people were not wrong in any way shape or form. I met SO many amazing people! A handful of them stuck out as truly being a blessing on my travels. BUT, what I learned the hard way... was saying goodbye.
Everytime I spent a significant amount of time traveling with someone, saying goodbye to them became something that was sooooo hard for me. The following days I would end up in a depression, rarely leaving my hostel bed sometimes for as long as 4-5 days. I would think to myself "I cant simply go out there and do the whole 'hey where are you from' thing again"
It does get better, you get over it and put yourself out there and eventually meet some great people again. But I never would have thought I would develop such an intense connection with certain people having only known them for a month at the most.
That being said, ITS SO WORTH IT! I feel like I have met lifelong friends! It's been a few months and lots of us still message each other often. But no one ever talks about this!!... this lil depressive state that comes over you from time to time.... i have learned it is just simply a part of solo travel
