I've traveled to 30 countries, and I'm convinced that solo travel is overrated. Sure, you get freedom and self-discovery, but the constant loneliness and safety worries often outweigh the perks. I remember eating alone in a Bangkok night market, feeling isolated despite the chaos around me. Group trips or traveling with friends let you share moments that solo travelers just can't replicate. Don't you think the best travel memories come from being with someone?
