This really hits home, especially in a time when being "unplugged" feels almost revolutionary.
It's good to see someone openly acknowledge how travel can serve as an antidote to the constant need for digital validation and distraction.
As a Solo Traveler myself, I feel Solo travel, in many ways, strips us down to our rawest selves, forcing us to confront the discomfort of being truly alone and present.
That moment where anxiety peaks and then fades, as you mentioned, is such a powerful reminder of the quiet strength solitude can offer.
Thanks for sharing this!
