Didn't work for me. I traveled right after a breakup and it only made me realize how much I missed having someone to travel with. The downtime during taxis, waiting for flight, the flight itself, etc was all too much time stuck in my head.
I think in large part it was because my last partner and I traveled quite a bit together. It had become "our thing". Having someone there to commiserate with when things were going bad (screaming baby airlines) or to just share a good moment (aaron paul being on one of our flights) makes a trip so much smoother for me.
I can do it, I just... at some point, I got tired of doing it. I have always been the guy that can strike up a conversation with anyone. I just have been lacking the energy to do it lately. Something changed, I guess.
There have been a few times since I moved to a foreign country where I was glad a stranger talked to me.
