Best luggage for an actual suit?
Hey everyone! I got selected as a Product Manager with Walmart Global Tech,Bangalore. During the interview, there were mentions that the role involves travelling(US) closer to the customers a bit. I would like to understand if that really holds true. Do Product Managers with Walmart Global Tech travel on a regular basis?Walmart

I know what you mean. One way I’ve enjoyed traveling solo is to plan to meet up with someone for just a part of the trip. Even if it’s a family member or a colleague or an old acquaintance in another city it makes the solo trip feel less lonely and gives you something to look forward to. I also pack my schedule with things I want to see in places I go and don’t have time to feel lonely 😂. Definitely make the time to travel, for your mental health or at least take time off so you don’t burn out!
I relate to this so much. Sometimes I tell my colleagues that I’m traveling with a friend so that I don’t appear weird. Honestly depending on the destinations, I often prefer solo travels. I can find friends to travel with but I have to make a lot of compromises
haha I tell the same lie half the time that i’m meeting a friend overseas or wherever… bc I have had people tell me i’m weird for traveling alone…

I’m in a similar situation. Have a strong friend group at home but no one that I can travel with. Do 90% of my traveling solo. I’d recommend signing up for group excursions and tours, they’re a great way to meet fellow solo travelers.
Hot take … I prefer traveling alone.
Love my husband and friends but we have different enjoyments. We travel together too - but I really enjoy a solo trip.
Probably only relaxing vacas I get are 100% solo because it’s not socially draining or feeling like I need to be very active.
Yea. Going to Berlin this year and a little sad I’ll just be by myself. Meeting one or two people out there but it’s not the same — I want a fun trip with a boyfriend!!
I’ve done both. Depends on my frame of mind and type of destination. A ski trip is great with a big crew. A trip exploring a European country by train is fun solo if you like that kind of challenge. On a recent national parks trip, I planned a solo trip and a friend “crashed it”. I was really happy he invited himself along… we got along great!
There were indeed bears and bison! It was safer being with someone else in the parks for sure.
Yes! I could have written this post myself. I’m open to meeting travel buddies through this app, so DM me if you want. I’m a woman if that matters.

Where we goin?
You'd sacrifice companionship over mobility. I don't believe one is more valuable than the other. I came from a non-traveling family and would've limited my options had I waited for their permission to explore. Societal norms dictate traveling in groups so I've checked group excursions—they're quiet expensive with a rigid itinerary. Then I look at backpackers who've met locals while traveling. And there lies the core purpose of travel: to dare putting oneself among unfamiliar people, culture, and territory.
Yeah I always meet people along the way even though it’s not the same as going with someone you already know. Group travel does seem pricey and rigid
I’m always looking for people to travel with - I get lonely on trips too.
Go on organised trips (there are many LGBTQ vendors that cater to our community) if you want to travel with others.
Detours Travel is a good one to look into!
Why travel alone, when we can travel together 🗝️
