Carrie Williams tackles the great solo-travel debate:
When I’m taking a trip, I prefer to travel with a companion. Why? Well, for one, it’s easier to document my trip. Sure, I’ve perfected the whole “let’s take a cheesy, Facebook, vanity pic of myself” thing. But if you want to get yourself into an iconic scenery shot, you need another human being to help you out. I suppose you could ask a stranger, but when it comes to that, I always have visions of that camera-stealing French guy (at least, I think he was French) from that National Lampoon movie invading my brain. And I guess a tripod would come in handy for solo adventures, but then I worry someone will run up and take my camera within the 10 seconds I leave it unattended.

Traveling solo does have its pros and cons. Some people I know have traveled alone and found it a spiritual experience and some didn’t find it all that religious. I guess if you plan to travel solo, do a proper research and go for it!
