Touring doesn't have to be an around the world trip or nothing. If you aren't interested in an overnight or riding across the state you probably aren't going to have a good time touring the world all at once. Touring solo can get lonely, some days and some parts of the ride can be utter absolute garbage and I had a mental breakdown on a tour and just couldn't leave the campsite via bicycle and had to abruptly end my tour. However I still love bicycle touring it didn't set me back but it helped me realize what I am capable of and what I enjoy doing and who I enjoy doing it with. Plus I still had a rad time in what I did do and ended up visiting the family I was biking towards and took a lovely train trip to visit them.

I personally have no desire to do any major world touring there are places I would love to explore but I don't know that I want to tour everything by bicycle. I would love to do some bike touring with some folks in Scotland and maybe enjoy some uisge beatha straight from the source (purely for research purposes of course as a lover of history I feel it is my duty to try historical beverages of Scotland) However some countries just don't sound pleasurable to ride through and I have other things I really want to do that involve biking but may not involve me wanting to carry a bunch of gear.
