I’m afraid to travel alone. Would you be?

[Amy10223]

I’ll be traveling solo next month, to Asia. Besides the long flight, I worry about— above all things— is going up and steps. I had knee surgery done last year late spring, and I still have trouble with that, because where I live there are really no steps except one to go into the garage, and the other to the backyard.
I’ve been invited to go to a baseball game there when I go. Sitting for a long time can be a problem. But I’m embarrassed to say no to this game.
On the other hand, there are many escalators and elevators at the train stations, and people are supposedly very kind and polite. So that gives me some hope, and so does the fact that I’ll be meeting 9 people there I’ve come to know on a language exchange program.
So, do you have anything stopping you from traveling? I ve been waiting since last year for this, and I wish I was stronger in the leg but I’m taking PT just for steps and making the leg stronger.

There is a lot of walking in other countries so I can understand your concern. Don't try going up the inner temple steps at Angkor what; they can be intimidating with healthy knees. As for me, I'm kind of stuck caring for elderly parents at the moment, but I have traveled solo a lot in the past.

It's okay, and sensible, the be concerned about traveling alone. I've traveled alone moist of the time... on business. Just take things slowly and carefully.

depends where. but some places i fear going alone too

[Amy10223]

I have places I would never visit. Just in my opinion unsafe, so its best to avoid those. The place I'm going to is pretty safe.
