I doubt I will ever get used to goodbyes. On the road, I'm finding that goodbyes take on a new dimension. Not only are you parting from someone you have shared good times with, whom you will miss and may never see again (or if you do, it's in a totally different situation), but when you're travelling, it tends to also plunge you back into once again not knowing a single soul in the place you're going to. It's scary, it's sad, exciting and part of the independent travel challenge. It certainly develops speed-socialising skills!
I've been pretty damn lucky so far with the travellers I've hooked up with, and I would be delighted to see any one of them again. Most recently, I really did strike jackpot with the three boys in Cambodia. Three great individuals who, probably without realising it, have transformed many aspects of my approach to this trip already, and certainly were a big part of my amazing time in Cambodia. Guys, thank you so much.
In the end, you just have to exchange email addresses, wish each other well, say goodbye and move on, hoping you'll meet new and equally fab people in the next phase. It's all good - sa baba.
