Hi,
I love travelling too, in fact, I am on a trip now in Dubai, last week I was in Turkey and came to Dubai this week.
I love to travel alone, and yes I am traveling alone now, I do it all the time, not outside the GCC though tbh.
When I was in Turkey last week I had my family with me, but now I am alone.
Trust me, traveling alone teaches you a lot, not just regarding the country you're visiting, but it also makes you depend on your self even more.
I just love it, it's so amazing.
I also believe that the good people are way more than the bad people, so if you need any help, there is a very big chance that the person you're asking will help you.
I've made some friends this way, people I have never thought that I'd be friend with them.
For those who want to do it or wish to do it but they can't, be sure that you can do it, just like me and the op, and many others.
Surely your passport allows you to visit lots of countries with out even getting a visa, or it'll be visa on arrival at least.
What I advice though is for you to read about the country you're visiting, about the people in there, how helpful they are, even though after you read about that, just know that there are good people everywhere.
I advice this because in the end, you are blind, and when you go to a country, you will deal with the people there more than anything else.
Also you should read about the safety as well, how safe is the place you're going to, etc etc etc.
I am not sure what to advice for those who didn't travel on their own before, only that you need to leave your house more, try to go and explore your city more, and then go to a nearby city etc, just start little by little.
Again I am not sure if this is a good advice, one might just jump in and grab a ticket to anywhere and it would work.
One more thing, even though I said people are helpful, just in case, be prepared for everything, and make sure that you can get your self out of weird Situations.
I don't have a good real example right now, but what I want to say is you need to be a good thinker, so if you fall in a case where you need to take an Immediate decision, you can do it fast.
lol, I am not sure if I am making it easier for people or not, but really, everyone can do it, if they have the Motivation for traveling like I do.

Hey there, and my appologies for not posting anything here eversince I started this topic.
But here I am, back to live here, and I hope to be around more frequently again!

@MasterChief, your tips listed above - thinking out of my perspective - exactly described my first steps before I have become as independent as I am now; this is a good tutorial to get started.

Concerning good and bad people, I indeed met a lot more good people than bad people on my journeys so far, let it be independent or with company. Especially in countries like the Netherlands and Sweden, people happened to be really friendly, somehow knew in advance how to help you without first asking what's wrong. Of course, should I need help and nobody realizes, I ask anyway, or what do I have a mouth for except for eating and drinking?
Still, I found it just more than astonishing the way people came up to me, starting to help before I even saw the problem myself.

As for traveling in general, I love to travel by train, because at least in the countries I've been so far, it was the least stressful way of traveling, because I booked assistance to change trains in advance and everything is, more or less, organized. Sure it can happen that the assistance, due to whatever reason, doesn't pick you up, but at least for me, it happens rather rarely.
Eitherway, I recently went from my hotel in Stockholm to the city terminal by Uber car in order to take the bus to Arlanda airport. Honestly, I first really thought about spending at least 20 Euros more to get to the airport directly by Uber car, so the driver could drop me off at the check-in counter. However, the trip to Arlanda was smoother than expected and, thanks to other passengers, I also made it to a service desk and caught my flight.
Plus, I recently took advantage of a direct Flixbus connection from Amsterdam Sloterdijk to Marburg, although I tried anything to avoid long distance busses in the past, because I was a little afraid that I might get lost finding or changing the bus and find myself stuck somewhere.

Weird situations can happen anywhere, no matter how you choose to travel and it is probably impossible to avoid them. However, a lesson that I personally learned from weird experiences I had: The more weird situations you encounter and the more often you were able to get the issue solved and eventually arrive home safe and sound, the more confident you are trying out something new.

At the end of this week, I will travel via Brussels to London and got in touch with someone on Couchsurfing, who offered me to host me for the time I am there. I already tried Couchsurfing a couple of times before and no, I didn't know the people I was gonna stay with, and so didn't they; but I met some of the most awesome people I ever met!

But, as MasterChief already said, start little by little and from time to time, you will get more confidence to get around independently.

I presume that if you'd like to travel into the mountains on your own, it might indeed be a little more of an effort. If they have Uber in your town, you could at least get from your placce to the place of your desire; but I haven't traveled 320km with Uber yet. I think it could well be more difficult to find a driver in any case, but it is worth a try, but I presume it is expensive though.
However, a 6.5km Uber ride from the train or bus station would more likely work. If they don't have Uber in this kind of area, I'd try to consult a normal cab if it is not too expensive.

In best case, you find some sighted people with whom you could possible travel with but of course this is not always the case.

Oh, after checking your post once again, I forgot to mention that I never been to a foreign country. I travel within my country so far.

I am getting my new cane in 2 days, I have never used a cane before.
I am looking  forward to using it in my next trip on the 26th to Egypt, So if you guys have any tips for using it it would be really appreciated if you can share some.
Well technically the first time I would be using it it would be either on uni next Sunday, or if I went somewhere before that, but I am talking about heavy use.

I am very optimistic about going to the Netherlands with my wife soon. Someone you know on this forum is actually going to fly my wife and I to visit him for a while. I think it's going to be awesome!

I wandered around in Indianapolis for a few days by myself once? I agree that most popular tourist attractions are easily replaced by a 3d video, for which audio would be omitted because it contributes nothing to the experience.
