Creator's Key Takeaways
The fears and trepidation that I had before were dissipated by talking to these guys. So, absolute thumbs up for solo night and first night so far.
If you are thinking of traveling as a solo don't have any fears of it. It is friendly. It is so easy to sit next to somebody and just start on chatting.
Solo travel is actually fine, and it's nothing to be worried or scared of. So, if you were anticipating any problems or you've got any hesitation about trying it, I would say just go for it.
