I Like to Travel Alone

I know that seems strange for a single woman to travel the world alone, but I actually prefer it. I get asked all the time if my friends can travel with me. The only advantage is that it can save money. They feel safe with me because they think I know what I am doing.

I have only found 3 women I enjoyed travelling with. One I am still friends with, the other hasn't travelled with me since our trip to Paris and Rome. I almost left one woman with the Bisons in Custer National Park.

It can ruin the whole trip if you are not compatible. My son refuses to travel with me. He calls my trips "Death Marches". My sister will just refuse to take another step. We find a beer garden for her and come back and get her.

I like to move with intent. I cover a lot of ground when I go. You have to keep up if you travel with me.

I'm like that if a museum is involved. Long ago I was stationed in Sicily. The lady I was living with needed to go to her embassy in Rome. She dropped me off in front of St Peters that morning after driving from Naples. She knew I'd be geeking out in the Vatican museum.

@akindheart After going through the public parts of the museum I returned to the basilica. The workman ship there amazed me. A certain pope was money hungry to build the St Peters we know today. That's a big part of what sparked the reformation.
