I quite agree. I need to recharge after social activities, and I prefer small groups of friends over crowded venues or parties with strangers. It's not that I dislike people, I just need some quiet time to myself after working a shift at the library, which is not as quiet as you might think, and quite likely to drain my social activity battery regardless of the noise level.
It looks like you have been on a lot of adventures! If you ever make it to the USA, I suggest touring the Columbia River gorge east of Portland, Oregon for amazing waterfalls and forest trails. Beacon Rock and Multnomah Falls are highly recommended!
Yes @jacobtothe ,same feeling, I also enjoy 'me time'.
I hope someday, I could visit those places you mentioned. :) I'm really excited to do so.
