TRAVEL NARRATIVES
Thank you to Soloride on Stumble Upon for letting me know about The World by Road, a blog about driving around the world. Steve Shoppman and Steve Bouey started their two year trip in Denver, Colorado last February. I've just started reading the archives, but I'm already impressed. Interesting stories and great photographs make up for the awkward blog navigation (it would be great if they offered an archive search to make it easier to read the blog from the beginning). They are inviting travelers to join them for different parts of their journey. If you are interested, take a look at their time line for future countries to see where they are going next.

Echoing your comment about solo travel, it's "not me" for a couple of reasons. One is that as many times as I've ended up traveling alone in different countries, and enjoying it very much, I can't get myself to plan an entire vacation around doing so.
Second, I'm pretty active and I want companions to do many of the things I like to do, such as biking, inline skating and hiking. The safety issues there are less about danger from strangers and more about needing people who can help with injuries!
So I join groups and leave time for solo travel before or after or both. I write about these types of trips on www.boldlygosolo.com
Thank you for the comments, Ellen, and thank you for the link to your site. I just started reading through your archives, you've had some great experiences!
