Solo traveller, 27m. I'm drinking a beer in a locals bar in Prague right now. I've spent the past few days hanging with a couple from the US I met on the train here. I made friends with some guys from Leipzig a couple weeks ago (and we all agree we'll be friends for many years to come), and we spoke about 'the luck of the traveller'. Wherever I go, whoever I meet, things just seem to work out. I'm sure there's a bias at play here, but I feel totally safe and confident as I move from city to city because i know how to look after myself and I know that others, generally speaking, are friendly and respectful towards me too. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?

I started in Berlin and I'll head back there tomorrow for another weekend of partying (Berghain, anyone?). Then, to stay with my new friends in Leipzig for a week before home.
