I was afraid to travel alone. This was my biggest fear and after asking my friends, cousin, mere acquaintances, and just about anyone, really, to join me, I realized that nobody else was at a stage in their lives to travel long-term. If I waited for someone to join me, I might end up waiting forever.
Then my first night in Bangkok, I ate dinner with people I met on Triptogether. Five days later I was biking around Cambodia with five new friends.
The fact is you will meet people, a great many people. It will happen all the time. Promise.
