When you travel alone, you never are. You connect with the people and places you encounter. You are touched by it. You change through it. @cnntravel @bbc_travel @praguetourism
The highlight of my visit to Prague! As a solo traveler, this place embraces you with friendly hostesses and kind bartenders. The music was amazingly beautiful and inspiring. The Free Concept is something every city and town must do. Loved it!! @JazzRepublicPrague #Praha #Lupitanews #jazz @cnntravel
