This is a video from the end of the trip. As you can see I’m pretty skinny and blue after a month on the road. Also I was feeling very lonely following the departure of Karol and Ronan and the end of my holiday romance. Travelling alone isn’t fun at times.
The last few days of the trip were pretty miserable. I was burnt out and the places I chose to go (for diving) were so quiet and boring and the other travellers all seemed to be couples.
So I became pretty emotional and even cried a couple of times like a little girl. I guess physical exhaustion and loneliness caught up with me, though I tried to moderate my drinking on this trip to prevent such a crash. But I guess it wasn’t to be.

i did a trip in 2010, from january to mid-june, hitting Oz, France and Tanzania. a lot of the time i was by myself as well and occasionally felt lonely, so i know what you mean. at one point it compelled me to buy a guitar, though, and that was a huge help.
Good call Dave. But buying a guitar in my case would just increase the loneliness as people would avoid me even more ;)
