Vep, I agree. It's much easier to get to know people. I never really felt alone while travelling on my own. In fact, I did a long trip thru Patagonia with a friend. It was a fiasco - I thought I'd never do it again, but have in the meantime done shorter trips with friends again and enjoyed them.
But on the whole, I prefer to travel solo. You don't only get to meet locals easier, but also other travellers on the same "wavelemgth" as you are.
