It's funny to me how some people hate travelling alone, even to safe countries. I'm quite ok with it and I've done it more than once.
I'm going to live my life and I'm not going to wait around until somebody else is available to chaperone me.
I've done a fair bit of it and there are pros and cons. I can do it and still like it, but I'd prefer to share experiences with someone. I'm not going to not travel until I have someone to travel with though.
The only cons I think of is that it's somewhat more expensive as accommodation and travel costs aren't split, and if something happens to you it's helpful to have someone there to call the authorities the embassy or the hospital etc.
I used to do it all the time too. It's cool.
I prefer to travel on my own for the most part. Other people require too much work to coordinate and negotiate with unless you are extremely compatible.
