In general, I don't like to do things everyone else does and but never linked it to active vs passive before. Also, I need to try traveling alone.

Enjoyed the piece! I have a couple of week long hikes on my travel itinerary to Europe. I am sure I won't be alone even on less well traveled trails in Europe (compared to here in NZ).

New Zealand and Australia give you properly remote hikes.. hiking near Canberra was easy, but with not many people around
