Addressing the worries

My biggest worry: Will I get addicted to this? To nature? To an extend that I forget my family?

I am an introvert, was always an introvert. I have trouble socializing.. Not that I hate people; but I have difficulty in talking.. I can sit and listen for hours, but cannot make small talk to people i am not close to. 

Recently I saw a video on introverts, which was precise enough to describe me. 



As in the video, I just get tired with routine involving people, and need time off, alone time. That doesn't mean that I need a solitary life, but I need breaks every now and then to recharge. Break is just a change from existing things into different set of things for few days. 

That's all I need, i dont need a break from my family, I just need a break from monotony.. A solo trip will give me that much needed break.

My second biggest worry: Is it safe? to travel alone?

Travelling alone involves talking to strangers, I mean no body is there with you to get things done, which means you Re the one looking for information, and may be asking for help sometimes, which I am too bad at - asking for help that too to a stranger - unthinkable ๐Ÿ˜…

But if i think about it, I don't have problem to talking to complete strangers. I have problem talking to people whom I know a bit, but not too close.

I prefer texts or mail to calling over phone or meeting in person. Weird right? ๐Ÿค“

So I decided to go on trip with other people to gain some confidence before I venture on solo trips.. Seems like a safe option for now. And i searched for some travel group for woman and found one which i think is a good option for me. Its for woman of all ages, and for budget travelers. The more I read about the group and the organizer, i became a fan of the group organizer.
