I like this post on banishing those naysayers who insist you better not travel solo.
You tell them you're traveling solo and they get all negative about it. (Maybe they're jealous, the writer says.)
Or they'll tell you you'll get hurt. You'll get lost. You'll get kidnapped, injured or die. (Fact is, that can happen at home too, she points out.)
My favorite line is about the "what if" people: "But what if a stranger who has the Ebola virus jumps in front of you and
starts bleeding all over you, while trying to poke you with a knife and
steal your camera?"
Yeah, that would be a problem. I personally would try to avoid those people if possible.
Got naysayers in the vicinity? I say, come up with great reasons to travel alone and ask them why they don't do it. Try to stump them. Could be fun.
