Conquering Mountains: How to Solo Travel the World Fearlessly
Do you dream of far off places, new sights, smells, tastes, and adventures? Have you been planning the trip of a lifetime but, after asking your partner, sister, best friend, cousin, and/or old high school classmate you barely speak with anymore, found that nobody can take off on a trip with you? Do you worry about how you’ll afford it, that you’ll be lonely, and most of all, how you’ll make sure that you’re safe? I found myself in the same position in 2012, searching for answers but coming up confused and empty-handed. I just wanted someone to make it all easy for me. I wanted to know that I was going to be okay.

A good and even tempting intro. But maybe too much basic and practical info instd of personal experience.
This quote captures the best. It also reminds me of the observer effect. I mean the literally physics here 😂
“It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially molded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others... Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion’s questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.”
