0:00.0	I kind of did worry about going out there solo and feeling the need to have to get people
0:07.5	to come with me.
0:08.4	And in the end, the need to travel, the need to go and experience these things, the need
0:12.7	to do it and just do it.
0:14.2	It just totally outweighed the need to have somebody with me to do it with.

1:22.9	The opportunity, some of the opportunities in solo travel, how travel allows you to see global issues in a new light, the power of letting go of control.
