"We introverts have a different style of travel, and I’m tired of hiding it."

The title comes from Confessions of an Introverted Traveler and I think I, in many ways resemble that remark. Here's how the article describes the author's manner of travel:

I don’t seek people out, I am terrible at striking up conversations with strangers and I am happy exploring a strange city alone. I don’t seek out political discourse with opinionated cab drivers or boozy bonding with locals over beers into the wee hours. By the time the hours get wee, I’m usually in bed in my hotel room, appreciating local color TV. (So sue me, but I contend that television is a valid reflection of a society.)

So far my travels have involved sixteen countries spread across several continents and most of that travel has been solo. I wonder if I might be slightly less introverted than the person in question as I've enjoyed a number of conversations with cab drivers (at least where we share a common language). That said, I'm unlikely to join up with fellow travellers to go exploring destinations (excepting where safety is a significant concern) nor am I likely to wind up chatting with strangers at a bar. That said, I've never much taken to watching local TV - excepting perhaps the news - preferring either a book or a computer.

The same author also wrote Six Tips for Introverted Travelers and I think that there's some decent suggestions there.
