A young traveler in Ireland

We were sitting on the dock at Dingle Harbor when a young man walked up and and asked us to take his picture. He was from the States and had come to Dingletown to run in their annual marathon. We talked about his run and why he traveled alone. It is interesting to me how many people do go as singles. They say it gives them more freedom and they do not have to compromise with someone else. I find it just the opposite. I need someone to share in the adventure. It does take compromise and sometimes I have to miss something in order to accommodate the other person(s) but they often show me things that I have missed. This is much like life itself.
