I’ve been trying to get several friends to go with me to Europe for months now, however they are either not graduating on time or refuse to commit.  I, of course, am still really wanting to go.  My question is, how much fun is traveling by yourself?  I’m worried that I would get bored, but if it is pretty easy to meet fun people at hostels, then that would be far better.  I don’t mind spending some time alone, but that could get really boring after a few days.  So, I suppose, my question is how easy is it to make friends that you can go out with, travel with, eat with, etc. at hostels?

Thanks.
