I love to travel alone. I have my two dogs, but they don't argue with me about where, when and how we will travel or what we will eat or where we will stop to take a picture. There is no question that this can be looked on as selfishness, but on the other hand, anyone I tried to share with would have an equally 'selfish' point of view. We would be unhappy. As a Good Wife, many years ago, I always went along with my husband's ideas, partly so I could wordlessly blame him when things went wrong. I grew out of that nastiness fairly quickly. One of the very early Buddhist teachings, perhaps by the Buddha, was that one should journey through life alone, or with a like minded person, if one was available.
