[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you're getting lonely, what about traveling with someone?  What about taking someone with you who hasn't traveled and getting to show them the world (like a niece or nephew)?[/quote]

I don't think so necessarily. I feel this way when traveling with family.

Sometimes it's worse traveling with someone else because you feel obligated to do the things they want to do that you really don't like doing. [/quote]

Totally, totally get that feeling - I've traveled with friends sometimes and decided that I hated them by the time a trip was done, I was so tired of compromising with and talking with them.

I don't think there is anything wrong with deciding that you want to spend your time and money on things other than travel now. But if you do want to try again, how about an active group tour - like a hiking tour or biking tour, where there are other people to talk to when you feel like it but you don't HAVE to spend every meal eating with the same person. There are some great looking ones I am interested in, if I ever get the money and time to do it.

Or just do something else for a while! I feel like we attach a sort of moral goodness to seeing the world - but it's a consumption activity like any other, at the end of the day. There is no obligation if you don't want to do it.[/quote]
