Do not worry about a thing. I have been traveling solo for 20 years and to be perfectly honest with you, I have had more fun on my own than when I travel with friends. You can do what you want, when you want.
To make sure that I am not alone all the time, I take tours. Yes, many of the people on tour are couples but there are also other solo travelers and singles. I am usually the only American traveling solo. I guess this is because the travel bug has not bit the Americans as it has Australians (most solo travelers on my tours have been Australians). .
Either way, you will have plenty of free time to meet people. I find hotel bars are full of other travelers that want to talk about what a wonderful time they are having. Being solo should not impede your travels.. ..it will only force you to find the extroverted self you never knew you were.
I suggest taking Cosmos tours because the price is less expensive than other tours therefore, younger people use them. The average age is approx. 40.
Have a great trip!!
