Travel with a friend thats as independent as you are, someone who can go off for the day and explore on their own. that way it gives you the opportunity to do the same.<br /><br />hope that helps answer your questions,<br /><br />A.Andy.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11892524000204480410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032156995214920964.post-55654819325657615052011-01-24T10:18:01.563-05:002011-01-24T10:18:01.563-05:00Dude do you travel solo?

Do recommend that one should consider travelling solo if planning a 6mnth backpacking stint? I'm interested in what you feel are the pro's and cons of a) travelling solo b) travelling with one or two good buddies.<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
