Solo traveler overcomes fear and other factors to get out on the road

I want to share this amusing (to me) post about how you don't need to be someone with special skills or abilities to be able to travel by yourself and enjoy it.

In "Confessions of a Solo Female Traveler," the writer says that she's scared, paranoid, a worrywart, introverted, unadventurous and neither rich nor physically fit.

But...

She likes to travel. And she does it solo. Not by choice at first. But now, she's seen the light.

Every traveler has his or her own style. You don't have to be Ms. or Mr. Super Adventurous Person to go the solo route. You just have to want to travel and not let lack of a travel partner deter you.

Our unadventurous solo traveler puts herself out there on the Internet to say that she's not the bravest or most confident kid on the block, but she still finds she wants to get out there and travel on her own. Because she can. And because she gets something joy out of doing so.

She encourages others to do the same.

Thanks for this write up, Ellen! I really hope people who've thought of traveling solo but were to scared to do so would be inspired and get started on their first steps in traveling alone. I see you site is the best resource for that!
