Traveling alone often brings a quiet, piercing kind of loneliness.
It is not just missing people — it is the sudden absence of shared context.
No one knows the small jokes, the tiny fears, the exact flavor of this moment except you. In that emptiness, you become both the observer and the observed.
The beauty of the world feels sharper, more fragile, almost too much to hold alone.
Loneliness in travel is the price of deep freedom — and also its most honest souvenir.https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2023/feb/11/solo-travel-loneliness-joy-connection
