Living with other people fuels my need for solo travel. It also helps fund it.

However, as I have gotten older, now with some health issues, less resources, I am somewhat reluctant to travel alone but the wanderlust still has a hold on me. I enjoyed reading this article and all the posts. Perhaps I can still get the courage and resolve to try traveling alone again as there is so much of the world as yet unseen by me.

As a solo female traveler, I absolutely agree that traveling has made me more outgoing. And it’s led to some pretty cool new friends that I’ve instantly connected with. Excited to read more of her posts

The very first days were a bit awkward and i felt a bit lonely but I had to force myself to meet people and try new things. It usually turns into great experiences.

I’m not going to deny that it’s always nice to have someone with you, but I don’t think people should shy away from travelling alone. It’s a great way to make new friends all over the world.

Have done this a lot too. During nearly a month in Italy, I arranged a fishing day for my husband with a local guide in Florence. He was gone for 11 hours and was so happy when he came back! After he cleaned up and we sat down to dinner, he exclaimed he was now ready to go back to cathedrals and art museums! The money was worth it!

I’m 65 now, and have been happily married for 38 years. Although I usually travel with my husband, I have taken trips without him— to shop in Italy, paint in the South of France, etc. I got used to it as a new Army lieutenant over 40 years ago when I was stationed in the Netherlands, and later in Germany. I learned on my own how to fend off a group of nasty guys on the street in Amsterdam (ducked into a crowded bar and asked the bartender for help; an undercover cop took care of it on the spot). Sometimes if you feel alone, it’s nice to sit or walk with families with kids, or talk to the wait staff in a restaurant if they’re not busy. I talked to and still yak with almost everyone. It’s always fun to get the locals’ take on everything. I’m modern but dress modestly and respect local customs. It’s all part of “Ancora Imparo.” (“I am still learning.”— Michelangelo)

Obviously travel with your couple will be a good idea, because can revival your honeymoon, but also traveling alone is a unique experience, since you can meet new people and have friends all over the world.

I want to travel solo to overcome the difficulties in my life and get happier… can I do it ??

Currently planning a 3 week trip to Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle and maybe Portland 🙂
