Do you find travelling alone a daunting experience? Or do you prefer the freedom of being independant and free to explore at your own pace?
Is it better to travel with a partner? Family? Friends?

When I was single (between marriages) I travelled overseas quite a bit, both for work and pleasure. It gave me the greatest possible flexibility because I didn't have to consider anyone else's interests or feelings and I really enjoyed it that way. But these days my wife and I travel a lot - all for pleasure - and only rarely do either of us do a solo trip. And now I find there's something nice about the shared memories, photos, videos, etc., which in truth have no meaning to anybody else.

Travel to a country where you don't speak the language can be tricky, and guided tours are good in this situation. Phones with map and language translation capabilities are good, too. And overseas travel ensures that when you get back home you have a better understanding of just what a great place Australia really is!
