<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I've been with my boyfriend for 10 months now and he's clearly the clingy one and I'm very much independant. I care for and love him a lot but I'm not about that "always together" life.

We don't see each other very often because I've got a 9 to 5 job and work freelance whenever I can, he works in bars at night on the weekends so he always insists in seeing each other whenever we have a matching schedule, which I'm okay with. 

I've always wanted to travel more. Most of my traveling I've done in the past I did on my own and I enjoy it, that way I can plan anything /I/ want. I've traveled with him on a couple occasions and it was fun but we were always together so meeting new people was harder and it threw me off a bit. 

He has a bad case of having been cheated on by all his ex-girlfriend so he gets jealous/suspicious/insecure everytime I speak to another man so I know he's going to hate the idea of me wandering off on my own in another country while he's home.

I've never been in a relationship with such a loving and caring albeit clingy and needy man so I need help with being a decent girlfriend and explain to him nicely that I want to travel solo but that it has nothing to do with him or us. I'm way too blunt to turn this nicely without hurting his feelings. He's also been very emotional/touchy lately so I don't want to make it worse.
<bot>: I'm too blunt to tell my insecure bf that I want to travel solo without making him wonder about the state of our relationship, so how do I explain it gently?
