>Is the social aspect really that important?
No. I just spent a month in Spain and didn't talk to anyone

Yeah, I generally spend abou 2-3 months of the year traveling. I've visited most of Europe, parts of S America and Asia and a couple of countries in Africa and the Middle-East.

For me the social aspect of the trip has always been the best part but don't let that put you off. I can't tell you how much easier it is to talk to people when you're both traveling. Whether it's chatting to people in your hostel's dorm, getting too know randoms in whatever group activity you're doing (rafting, diving etc) or introducing yourself to people in bars, cafes and restaurants. Of course Europe was easier to do this sort of thing than Asia or S America. I just got back from Italy and I might have arrived alone but by the second day I'd been invited to a local's party and made plans to split van rental costs with a couple of other travelers.

Every year when spring hits I go on my yearly hitch hike across the states. I've been to about 30 so far. Dixieland is the best. I usually stay out and about until November then head to southern California where it's warm for the winter

How do you even afford to spend 3 months of every year traveling?

Also are you attractive?
Im just wondering how approachable id even be, given my appearance.
It would definitely make me feel better knowing there were others like me doing this.

I mostly visited historical sites, explored interesting cities, fucked hookers and ate nice food in restaurants. Yeah it was pretty great

Australian medstudent with 50k/year in gov scholarships so I'm lucky enough to have money and the free time to enjoy it.

And no, I'm not attractive. You just have to make an effort to throw yourself out there and do the approaching yourself. I know this sounds dangerously close to Chad's "JUST BEE URSELF" but trust me, it's easier when you're traveling. You have no idea how many good times started with asking interested or lonely looking randoms if they were interested in a beer or a game of pool. One of the best fortnights of my life was all because I my travel guide recommended some awesome trip that didn't have any good public transport connections so I just went around telling people how great it would be until I had enough to split the cost of a jeep
