i have done it a few times, mostly because i really felt like going but could not find anymore interested or free.
it is nice because you are on your own, you are in a charge of all the decisions, moves, schedules. nobody is responsible for you and you are not responsible for anyone else.
you have much more time than doing it with other people. tne only problem i see is that it really gets lonely some times. especially in the evenings. in many places people don't want to hang up with you if you are alone, because you seem weird or doubtful only because you are there alone and people tend to think you are some kind of weird asocial creep, which is in most cases completely wrong. you might have better luck with hostels.
second thing is that you have a lot more time, so many times three days would be more than enough if you go solo
Yeah I have a bunch of times.
I am a pretty seasoned solo traveller now.
There are obviously a lot of safety things you need to think of, from physical of yourself to your belongings etc.
I've been to a bunch of places on my Jack Jones, it’s really satisfying and amazing for meeting new people.
I had a road trip down to Italy and back up through Austria and Germany, via Holland to Eurotunnel.
Met a heap of people, a bunch of them I am still in contact with.
damn i'd love to see Europe again
Yes I have. It have mostly been on shorter/weekend trips, often as extension of a work trip. I loved it, many good memories and easy to plan for yourself if you know what you want ;)
It is really unfortunate that people do not feel safe to do this. Personally I think it is simple to take necessary precautions, like be out in daylight or stay in city centres. I mostly felt uncomfortable in places where I did not speak the language and where the general public is not so good with English, like South America and Japan. But I got around by asking help from enough people and joining touristic, guided excursions.
I would LOVE to vacation by myself. Like another girl has mentioned, the only thing that stands in my way is feeling safe. Travelling alone as a young female is very scary unfortunately. I hope to get the opportunity through work or something (I am a journalist) in the near future. At least that way I'd feel a bit safer.
take a knife with you or something :P
you can use it to hack through brush and stuff in the wild :P

I don't go on vacations, vacations are for people who hate their lives and want to escape it but don't for whatever reason try to make those changes at home.
I know others may view it differently, like just wanting to experience new things, but I'm not that type of person so I don't view it that way.
Wow hot take there. I dont hate my life. But i do like to just take a time out and see things i haven't before
I'm an artist, musician, writer, gamer, and nerd, so most of the new things I want to do are indoors.
Anything I could do leaving the house I would just want to make it a part of my home, like an arcade, or library, or whatever, i think the only exception would be a zoo, aquarium, safari, or arcade, but none of those require hotel stays.
Yes I have. When I am excited about reading a book, I BOOK a special vacation for it 😹😃 I go alone and spend the whole vacation reading that book in the park at cafés hotel balcony... I don't even think about how I'm alone at the vacation.
I read my favourite book Anna Karenina in Vienna...
I haven't gone anywhere in 25 years and that kills me. So in my case Covid doesn't make a difference.
I've never tried to take a solo vacation but I'm 100% sure that all my vacations will be solo. So I'm willing to go.
Damn yeah you should go sometime. its nice to just relax for once :)
ahh money thing yeah i hear you. i was just gonna go to a museum and such and maybe stay at a cheap motel before i head back.
Yes I did in my younger years parts of Canada,& I loved it ✌️
beautiful what parts did you see?
Banff, PEI, parts of Ontario, small towns, Niagra Falls,
So cool would you ever go back?
Nah I'd like to take an RV & go through parts of the US
Oh ok. Id love to go to lol 😘
Please join me we'd have a great time 😆🤗
i really wanna see yellowstone. Also wanna try to follow the trail Lewis and Clark made on their famous journey west. not sure if thats possible or not lol
Let's start planning 👍🤗
I have not. I don’t think I would. Does kinda sound nice tho.
im thinking probably August is when i might try this out
Good for you!
Ever heard of the California Missions? these catholic church congregations built by Spanish missionaries in the 18th century all along california. i seen a few of them. i wanna see on i haven't seen north of me. :)
I haven’t but they sound neat!
Yes just nice relics of the past. Also reveals just how messed up europeans were trying so hard to convert the native populations
Yes. That is very messed up and was very damaging.
@exitseven you are right. I would. But I did take a 2 day girl trip that was fun. My youngest missed me very much.
Last July I went to Philadelphia, PA by myself
This year I want to go to NYC alone too, but my family thinks I will get kidnapped (bad excuse)
Solo trips are nice you don't have to worry about anybody else and you do whatever you want. Just make sure you have protection and pay attention to your surroundings
Yeah a mini one on the beach for two days. It was great Cx walking, biking, great food and tea on the top with a Killer night view.
Very relaxing it sounds like :)
I honestly wouldn’t trust myself lol and I want to bring my boyfriend with me or my dad so that I could feel safe being a female alone in a foreign country is scary and I don’t think it would be as fun alone I’d really love to travel though
I can understand for women it might seem scary 😟
I’d love to bring my boyfriend with me it would be so fun
Yes a few times. Went to China, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia... on my own
would you do it again?
I have gone on vacation by myself in the past but these days I would not go in fear for my safety! The world I dont believe is as safe as it was
Never took a solo trip/vacation and don't think I'd want to.. I would prefer good company to make the trip more enjoyable
I've never done so before, nor am I keen on doing so.
Honestly, the thought of travelling alone scares me, I mean imagine getting lost in some place you're not familiar with and the other possibilities like getting robbed or something.
I have a few times. I traveled to Paris alone a few years ago and saw the French open (first round) as well as a bus tour. I also used to drive places and stay a few days, so I have been to a lot of states.
If only I got the chance! I’d love to go on a solo vacation by myself 😌
yeah out there in India i sure would lol
Lolll
so many beautiful sights there id love to see :)
Yeah, india has many great tourist spots!
I liked to take vacations from the world. Just a few days off... up the mountains and into the woods, on my own. Those were always a good time or a needed time, have not done in a while though.
I have done this before I got married. I don't know if I would want to do it now.
I had to attend a seminar for my job and I stayed in a hotel for 3 days. I thought it might be fun but it really kind of sucked.
I do it all the time. I’ve been to Malta, Budapest, Amsterdam, Palma De Mallorca alone.
My friends are either stranded in Seoul or Toronto because of Covid so I can’t exactly go on group holidays.
I am married... no, I wouldn't leave my wife and child to travel alone.
When I was single I would have been open to it.
We take trips together now.
I've taken one trip alone so far. Dealing with baggage was a bit overwhelming, but other than that it was fine. My trip was by rail Chicago-Kansas City-La Plata, MO-Chicago.
😒 I’ve only traveled be myself to people and places I know.
hmmm so you want people to go with you more but can't?
I would like to have more people involved we’re going places but I don’t want the hassle of it either. I would love to take my first solo trip and not be afraid but aware will see
Yes but no. Bc i wouldn’t think it would b safe for me to travel alone… but i love the idea of having some time with me, myself and I.
I prefer to have at least one other person with me, friend or family. I wouldn’t say no completely to solo travel but it’s unlikely.
Been a few times along, will definitely do it again. Perfect way to clear your mind.
Yes, I have gone on solo holidays by myself. And I loved it.
I've visited Europe, US, Egypt, Vancouver, London.
I might have to if i am kicked out of home in coming years lol. Oh well. Gotta fly the nest someday right? I'll enjoy my solo vacations.
Or i'll do my best to enjoy them affordable solo vacations. I feel in the future, i'll just be paying cheap rent or a cheap sub-rent of other friendly adult nerds who also had to adjust to getting kicked out of home in their 30s like that movie about failure to launch or similar title. Lol. Oh well. I'm not too concerned. I will get by. I will survive :)
P. S. and yes: i never thought i'd be a guy getting belonging to a family who'd ever kick me out of home. Oh well. My old man is my only supporter nowadays and maybe my aunt. But i guess i've always anticipated in recent years how to plan moving out. If i have to reside in a hostel for a time, so be it. If i have to rely on charity for a time, so be it. Thankfully i don't think i'll be kicked out for a few more years yet. Reasons why im getting kicked out someday? Oh easy, i struggle to hold down a job. Lol. And i get minimal sympathy except from pa, more than i can i get from my ma or other siblings. Lol.
No I have not and most likely never.
I like traveling/vacationing with people.
I have not. I prefer to go with my family or friends.
Who would ever wanna go with me? I even have to go to amusement parks by myself!! Yeah, lots of fun, there!!
*Why would anyone...
Many times. Most of my vacations as an adult have been that way. I've met interesting people, hooked up with foreign girls, seen places famous and obscure, had great times.
I have.
It was amazing, it was at the lowest phase of my life.
But every single experience was worth it.
It was my first trip outside of my home country.
I plan on it. Straight to the Caribbean for a relaxing vacation with pretty girls giving me full body massages and swimming in the ocean. 😎
I haven’t gone on vacation by myself and I wouldn’t want to
I did it one time and visited four weeks long Croatia, the purpose was to make a motor boat license. It was better than I thought.
I ave done the vacation alone before & would do it again without even thinking about it.
Yeah a few times but at least I’ve met people in different places
I don't even know what a vacation is. I don't have the time to take off.
B. I never have but I am open to the idea, and probably will at some point.
Yes, and they can be great. Quick 1-2 days of hiking, photography, toking. Then fly home.
My vacations with my wife are much better though.
I would love to do that. However, I’m way too scared. Being a woman I would not feel safe alone.
I haven't but i am going myself to Tokyo Japan this summer.
Yes go to the beach pick up some beach babes lol
lol nahh im super shy :P
plus i like historical things so i ll likely go to a museum or something lol
I have done that. It was so liberating.
I usually take my dog.
So you like going just with the dog?
Yeah, he’s my kid
I have done this several times.
you like it then?
But my room already is a solo vaction
Yeah, have before
was it enjoyable? would you do it again?
Went to Ireland by myself
I haven't but i'd be willing to
Well yes but actually no
My mind IS my vacation.
I would love a solo vacation! It's my dream!
I definitely want to go by myself
I would like to some day, yes
Naw. I love company
I do it all the time.
