As far as socializing goes, I wasn't around groups of children constantly, but we traveled a lot and it gave me a lot of social experience in dealing with people in general.

I agree with this. I've been homeschooled throughout my whole life and on my own request, will be continuing it this year. I agree it's helped me get a better grasp on maturity(if you don't mind me stealing your phrase) and I didn't have to worry about peer pressure or try to fit in with everyone else.

However, we don't travel much, but that's due to all our animals, which I doubt I would have if I wasn't homeschooled.
