TWE: Some people like to travel alone, others like to travel together iwht several friends. Which do you prefer and why?

As transportation and communication become ever more sophisticated,  more and more people are traveling. Most countries have convinent networks for helping touirisms to visit and spend foreign currency: hotels are as pleased to receive as they are welcoming to lone travelers. Generally, I prefer to travel alone.

It is often fun to travel with friends, particularly for the young. Friends can provide emotional support to each other in a strange (and seeming hostile) land. From a special angle, friends can also soften that common but sometimes unexpected element of travel--boredom. Similarly, many would argue that traveling with at least one friend is safer than journeying alone.

Maturity, though, has taught me that true experience can only be gained when the individual "grasps the nettle". Boredom and loneliness during a protracted stay in a foreign coutry might force the visitor to get out and make friends with the locals. A country is not simply fantastic, hotel cooking and tourist guidebooks. I prefer to travel alone because I believe that in order to know the sould of any place the foreigner must learn to truly love a friend of that country.
