‘Is there anything, apart from a really good chocolate cream pie and receiving a large unexpected cheque in the post, to beat finding yourself at large in a foreign city on a fair spring evening?’ travel writer Bill Bryson once asked.

‘Loafing along unfamiliar streets in the long shadows of a lazy sunset, pausing to gaze in shop windows or at some church or lovely square or tranquil stretch of quayside, hesitating at street corners to decide whether that cheerful and homy restaurant you will remember fondly for years is likely to lie down this street or that one?’

Most of us would agree that there are, indeed, very few feelings which beat the one the award-winning writer so deftly articulated in Neither Here, Nor There. <\/em>It sounds utterly idyllic, and it’s almost certainly where you’d rather be right now, correct?

Now imagine you’re experiencing it alone.
