I'll be interested to read about your upcoming trip. Especially your experiences with group vs. solo traveling.
I did a 2-year trip and most of it was solo, but I had individual family members meet me for legs of the Europen part of my trip. Of course, I love my family, but I was pretty relieved when everyone left and I was back to traveling solo.
South America is going to be dope! Do you speak any Spanish yet? I took Spanish for 3 months in Guatemala before I went to a few other countries further south.
Thanks for your comment :) I know some basis in Spanish and I can make myself understandable ! But I'll be working at a friends hostel in Nicaragua as a volunteer for the first month so I'll have time to catch up before I leave alone !
Nice! I didn't visit Nicaragua so I'll be looking forward to your posts about it.
Now is the hardest part of the trip. Waiting for it to start :) Good luck!
