Almost always prefer to travel the world alone, although I occasionally meet friends or family members for portions of the trip. I enjoy eating alone, too. I usually read a book or a guide book. I usually stay in nice Airbnbs so that I get the local vibe: shopping for groceries, etc. Being an extrovert, I rarely have a problem meeting locals, with whom I stay in contact. I’m writing a book about Eastern Europe, so locals are eager to add their input. In 2019, I even taught two cute bartenders in Kaunas, Lithuania how to mix Manhattans. I had a bit of trouble finding Angostura bitters.
