Pack Your Bags & Go Alone

"Try hostels. They’re much better than hotels because most people staying at a hostel are there alone or on a short budget. There’s lots of advice traded among tourists about where to go, how to get there, how to not be cheated, etc. It’s also a great place to generally meet people to go out with because it can get lonely. You meet people, but mostly on a superficial basis. Hostels allow people to bond."
