Being a solo traveler has its positives, but also it’s negatives, including the challenge of meeting cool people in each new destination. Meeting local hosts who are travelers themselves sounds fantastic. Being able to find housing on a “Pay it forward” basis sounds too good to be true, honestly, but if that can happen, then hallelujah!. When not in my camper in the us/Canada, lodging is by far the biggest espense and therefore limiting factor in how often I can travel and for how long. I travel pretty simply, but still can’t do the 8-12 bunkroom hostel thing. :)
