Travelling alone is quite an encouraging idea to me but unfortunately I don't have that much guts to finally do it (with all the watching of crime suspense channel perhaps).

So I hope you could share your experiences if you were able to go on a vacation alone and was able to enjoy yourself. I would love to read about both good and not so good experiences.

Hi! I have travel alone and I take a bus for a vacation to my relatives house at other places.
Its very far from my house and take 10 hours journey.
I like to go at night because when I wake up from sleep I will have arrive to the station bus at morning.
Its fun to travel alone but its more fun if you have friends along.

are there any emergencies in that tour?


myLot reputation of 85/100. kunizzul (640)   ranked 7,966 out of 19,013 in questions & answers  3 weeks ago

Once when the bus almost hit another bus from opposite direction and that makes the driver stop the bus at the side for a while and whether everyone is okay.
So, there is no emergency when I go travel even alone or with someone.

Hi,

I have traveled alone with in my country many times and found it quite refreshing. When alone I find time to sort through my thoughts and think creatively...

As you mentioned traveling with a group of friends is really fun when you are holidaying but for work I prefer to travel alone. I also get my work done this way without pending it.

In my younger days I liked traveling alone. I was able to go exactly where I wished to go, stay in accommodation that was right for me and spend as long as I liked in each place. Importantly I was able to stay at my budget. I was 18 years old when I traveled around Europe by train. I traveled alone but met many other travelers. It was interesting to talk to the local people. I traveled around the world for just over one year when I was 20 years old. I was on my own for almost all of that trip. The worst things that have happened to me when I have been alone were getting sick and falling down a drain in Malaysia and getting attacked on a lonely beach in the Maldives. These days I travel with my two young children. That is enjoyable but more demanding than traveling alone used to be for me.

I have traveled from the most northern part of my country to the most southern part of it. It's not a good travel.Not because of the travel itself but the mood of me.My travel's aim is hunting for a good job,so I am not in mood to enjoy myself.Now I have a not too bad job but have no time.I have a dream that when I have earned enough money I will plan a no-aim-travel around the world.

I did travel alone to a place to look for my friends, then we went out for vacation together. The furthest I've traveled alone was from Australia to Taiwan, it was 8-hour flight + 4-hour flight, and in between there's a few hours waiting. I was studying in Australia, and my boyfriend was studying in Taiwan, hence I just took a flight to visit him there. I enjoyed the journey, as I got to know some passengers sitting next to me in the plane.

Sometimes, it's nice to travel alone, as you can go wherever you want to go, unless you found a travel partner that really goes well with you. Just that, sometimes it can be a bit boring to be alone, as nobody discusses anything with you. But you'll get to know more new friends when you are alone. lol

yes i did travel alone from Philippine to Malaysia. Its nice to travel alone to release tension and to meet other people. Sometimes i meet friends who seat beside me in plane..Different culture and different country.

No, I never travel alone. Personally, I never think of going alone. One thing that I know for sure is travel/vacation is best enjoy with at least two people. We can laugh and have fun together. Being alone on a vacation is kind of lonely - no offense.

My second thought would be safety issue. Girls are best to have a company. It's not that I can't take care of myself but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I was working in a urban city called "Bangalore" in india and my home is located in a nearby state called"Tamil nadu". I used to go to my home once in 2 months and travelling time is nearly 14 hours (By Split Journey - More than 3 buses) and travel alone. It's quite amazing to travel in 3 buses where you can see more people and everybody has a reason to travel. Some might be in hurry and some like me not.

I did travel alone several times already but i never experience going on a vacation alone, I live in the philippines and it is composed of many islands, so going on a vacation in other places requires riding on a plane or several hours by boat. At first I am not comfortable traveling alone but now I am used to it. Its an adventure and I enjoy it.

I always travel alone because I really hate going on holiday with other people, they really tend to be too sticky and I need FREEDOM! Lol, and yes I'm a single female, and I go on holiday abroad alone.
Sometimes I get scared, that happens, but then I also think about all the places I've been alone and the troubles I got out and sorted, mostly in places where I didn't know a word of the local language and nobody seemed willing to talk English, and really think I can do anything, lol.
Go, pick up the courage and go, it is really a thing that worths doing and after the first time you'll see it'll come easier. thumbup
