How Was Your First Time Travelling Solo (alien.top)

When was it the first time you have ever traveled alone and how did you felt? Did it exceed your expectations? I have been contemplating doing a solo trip but never really had the guts to do it. I have mildly severe social anxiety and I think that's preventing me from really doing it. Thanks

Before you go full DN, why not just try backpacking and learning the hostel thing for a while?

I had traveled so much in my younger years that by the time I could go full time DN the last thing I was worried about was social anxiety/making friends in a new country.

Making fast friends in hostels is much easier, but being a DN means you tend to stick around longer/travel slower which I think is far more sustainable.
