Howdy Christine! It really is, my preferred form of travel is solo travel/backpacking hosteling – and the few times i've done this on previous trips it has really worked out well. Will definitely be doing a lot more of it on all my upcoming trips!

I love this idea. With FB, taking pictures and taking fellow travelers you've met is a wonderful way to stay connected and share memorable experiences. I also like that you mentioned it as being a way to connect and interact with other travelers. It can be a good tool for a solo traveler to meet people.

Hi Jack, Thanks for the comment! Great point – Twitter and flickr will definitely be making an appearance on my next travel card!

It's definitely a pay it forward type of thing, but when it works out it's really incredible. The shots travel friends have taken of me often end up being some of the most engaging, off beat, expressive shots of myself I have.

I love the idea to make sure to help others document their journeys by sharing your photos and making them discoverable. There's a real good idea for a 'back end' system across photo sharing sites here

Another way would of course be to make up some business cards with your flickr id and hand them out to people you take photos of…!

Hi Beth! Thanks for the post. It definitely is, it's also a fundamental part of human nature to like to see images of ourselves doing things we love. That's part of why I think this third type of photo style and dynamic has such a powerful influence in re-affirming friendships.

The ability to share photos and videos with friends and “friends” through social networking has been an interesting phenomenon. We have access to so much info about the world and to be able to share that is definitely a good thing.

Great story! Though talk about a rough run of luck with both cameras down! Thanks for reading and posting!

Absolutely! It's amazing how the most obscure and seemingly least promising photo can convey a definitive experience better than anything else out there.
