So you've been road-tripping it solo, huh? I imagine that could definitely get lonely after awhile. I'm sure you meet people along the way, but you're also always leaving them behind when you move on, right? That's got to be tough. Hi, Mike, thanks for stopping by!

You're a backpacker, yes? I think that style of travel, especially, is conducive to meeting others when you travel. You're bound to meet up with others at hostels or as you say, by couchsurfing.

I'm always surprised by how surprised other people are when I say I like to travel alone. It's hardly ever lonely--in fact, the opposite. I'm more open and meet so many more people when I'm sola. And social networking websites have really made it easier to connect with like-minded travelers--I love Couchsurfing not just for, well, couchsurfing, but because it enables me to meet so many more people, locals and travelers alike. Not empty tips at all. Thanks! Great post. I'm always surprised by how surprised other people are when I say I like to travel alone. It's hardly ever lonely–in fact, the opposite.

Unless traveling is an enjoyable experience there will come a time when there isn't sufficient motivation to go out and hit the road again. This is more than just “helpful advice”.
