 During my adventure, the one question I got asked a lot was, "Are you traveling alone?" To which I always responded with a questionable, "Yes...?" I didn't expect the reactions to be surprising, yet they were. I'm not sure if it was my stature or just the general idea of a female traveling alone. I certainly have nothing against it, in fact I do like traveling alone sometimes. There's a certain solitude to it: those long train rides, those peaceful waiting times... sometimes when you're around people all the time (and seeing so many new things!), you kind want some downtime to clear your head and have everything sink in. Which is exactly what I did when I was moving from one place to another. Along the way, strangers struck up conversations with me while I waited: some were absolutely hysterical ("You have nice teeth!"), others were demeaning (ugh, that woman, I wanted to punch her in the ovaries) and, thankfully, none were creepy.
