I was first made aware of both the numbers of introverts in America, and the pent-up feeling many of us have of being misunderstood, when I wrote an essay for the travel website World Hum about being an introverted traveler.

If you're a world traveler, I'm sure you've heard other travelers insist that travel is "all about meeting people." In my first essay, "Confessions of an Introverted Traveler", I admitted to traveling for reasons other than meeting people. I followed that up with Six Tips for Introverted Travelers". Those two essays received more views than any other post on World Hum in 2009. We are legion. 

Now I have created an audio slideshow, The Quiet Traveler about the sort of things I remember when I travel. Please take a look. Perhaps you feel the same. Discuss.
