Have you travel alone?

Question

How do you feel?Why don't you join the trip organise by the travel agency?

Answer 1

I travel alone whenever I can - I absolutely love it!

Here's why:
- in developing countries, I often get special treatment as a woman
- it helps me build self-confidence
- it's easier - I never have to wait for someone, argue about where to go, what time to get up, when to eat...

I do love it, but there can also be some down sies and it's best to know and anticipate these before you go. What are the disadvantages of solo travel?
- you can get lonely at times, but there are plenty of ways to beat that loneliness
- you are more of a target for men seeking girlfriends - low-level harassment such as whistles and catcalls are common
- you may be more of a target for theft, but a few simple precautions can right that balance

How do you make sure you don't get lonely on the road? A few simple tips:
- get a routine: get up at the same time each day, keep photos of your loved ones at the side of your bed, do you exercises... whatever works best for you!
- go to places where you can meet people - like second-hand bookstores, backpacker coffee shops, hostel lounges...
- take a short course - learn to cook in France or Thailand, paint in Italy, play guitar in Spain... a 2-3 day course in your hobby of choice will dispel any loneliness, help you brush up on the language, and meet people!

Answer 2

I prefer my alone time, i find it quite soothing just being out in the world alone (hmm, when i say it like that it sounds soooooo lonely :[ ). But, its really not.

I don' travel with friends because i seem to always end up being begged (or forced) to foot the bill. When im traveling alone i can stay where i want, eat where i want and buy what i want w/o unnecessary input.

I *could* join a group but, alone is my preferred method of travel. Of cause, that's not to say i don't often travel with friends or family.

My friend call me a "loser" sometimes but, its mainly because im unafraid to go it alone and make friend along the way...you'd be surprised who you'd meet.

Answer 3

Traveled alone all the time. Travel Agent here. Granted once I got to my destination there were other travel agents. But still I was on my own.

Answer 4

Only when I have to.. And when I do, I really do just travel: I go from one place to the other.

Otherwise, I love travelling (as in sight-seeing or touring) with people I have fun with.

Answer 5

Except for the trips on job, I do not travel alone. Otherwise , it is better to join the organized groups .
