I Had Zero Experience Of Traveling Solo When I Booked A Trip To Colombia- ALONE

Isn’t eating alone scary? Won’t everyone stare at you? Isn’t it dangerous?

Eating alone in Colombia, with a special guest.

I used to hate eating alone at restaurants, let alone traveling to a foreign country!

Won’t everyone think I am a loser? I have no friends. Maybe I smell bad and no one ever told me? Am I ugly, fat, stupid? The list goes on and on of self-hatred.

Everyone will stare at me like my tinder date didn’t show up!

This is probably the worst. People will think I am not even datable-even in a foreign country where I know nobody.

I had always had a circle of friends around me every time I went out or had a boyfriend. I always had a safety net, because why would I ever want to go anywhere alone?

Isn’t this what friends are for keeping you company so you never have to be alone with your thoughts or own feelings. And when you get sick of the chattering of your friends, you just drink yourself stupid to escape the mindless chatter of boring nonsense that never interested you.

Well, I used booze to numb my mind.

By default I am an introvert, I am an Empath; I just didn’t realize it until I traveled alone! And quit…
