And it's cheaper. I just got single rooms at AirBnBs and you only need 1 ticket for anything, it feels like you can do so much more for so much less.
It was a bit lonely sometimes for sure but still definitely worth doing.

I've done many solo trips, sometimes meeting up with friends in other cities, sometimes just short stints and you go for it for exactly the reasons you just mentioned.
"I want to go see this museum or exhibit, I'll grab a beer and a bite and be there in 20 minutes."
Try doing that towing a wife and kids.
Or, obviously when I was younger, you make your friends along the way.
I was meeting up with some friends in London, they were coming from Belgium and they got delayed 2 days. What do you do? Kick around the Hostel and cool your heels for 2 days? Hell no. I met up with some lunatic Spaniards at the Hostel Bar and we toured the City while I waited for my friends to show.
That was a blast! Make your own fun! You just got to watch out for some of the demographics.
Like when I was in Holland and got entangled with this gaggle of travelling Aussies, I dont think I slept for 3 days.
The Hostel Bar is always magic. You will always find a kindred traveling spirit in the Hostel Pub. Order a pint, dont bury your face in your phone. Sit at the Bar and your night may as well be set.
