Relatives: Aren’t you lonely traveling by yourself?

Me: No

Honestly I am so busy getting lost and trying to figure out where I am going, I have no time to be lonely. And with family and friends around they would stress me out. 

Case in point, last night I was at the intersection of Myeongkeok for probably 10 minutes crossing streets checking maps and just trying to find where the hotel I just booked was. I have done this a lot in Korea. But I am fine with it as it lets me find my footing and let’s me position myself for later.

(Apple map, I have always defended you but you always let me down when I need your guidance the most. Anyway, google maps to the rescue. Finally)

Company during these times would just get mad that they are lost and start yelling and darken the mood. I don’t need that. #Ispeakfromexperience
