I've done a ton of business travel by myself, where i'd go somewhere for weeks and months on end... generally leaving my weekends free to do whatever i wanted... Backpacking holds no appeal for me (I'm not high maintenance, I just lik e hot showers and plentiful hot coffee and clean sheets)
when i was stuck in London for 12 weeks (Hated london) but I managed to get to paris (hated it) brussels (loved it) Prague (loved it) edinburgh (loved it) and a few other smaller places... just did lots of wandering. 3 months in australia(over the course of 4 trips) was even better...
I don't mind being by myself.. I am the least social person I know and met virtually no one to befriend in my travels - but talking to people in hotels and getting tips on places to go was invaluable...
it's a big world out there with lots to see in it... but sometimes coming home to that which is familiar is nice too..
