#GenXTravel A1: generally I don't! I tend to travel solo and that includes when I'm there!

A1. I'm not great at this but if I'm eating alone I eat at the bar / counter if available. Its easer to strike up conversation. #GenXTravel

#GenXTravel A1: I do stay in backpacker hostels tho & they tend to have a social scene (tho not always) which you can dabble in/out of.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I'm also a solo traveler. I don't meet as many people as I'd like--mainly due to my work schedule while traveling. #GenXTravel

replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki Oddly no. The older I get the more social I seem to be. In my 20s I wouldnt have considered a dorm room! #genxtravel
