Yep, if you can't mingle in your home town, you won't mingle in a foreign town.

  The difference is that you have to talk to people at some point when you're traveling, only if to ask for directions.

    GPS. My record is three weeks on the road with no conversation deeper than ordering a meal or checking in to a hotel. And I'm not really all that introverted. I did then use gumtree to find some folks to travel with, but still, just saying 'travel' is not really a cure-all for introversion.

  I think traveling brings a sense of anonymity that, for some, can lift a lot of social pressures. To throw my anecdote out there, I find that I have no trouble at all talking to people on the road and making friends but I can't do that at all when I'm at home. I have very few friends at home but when I'm out traveling I find myself opening up conversations with perfect strangers. I've made some terrific friends doing that. Just wish I could make myself do it at home, too.

    In contrast, I have learned that I am just as shy in the middle of nowhere as I am at home.
