Solo traveller



I've done seasonal fruit picking in Hungary, many years ago.
I met loads of people, from different countries, who I kept in touch with for years.
I would recommend seasonal work abroad, to any younger person.
It's a great experience, and a good way, to meet people, and see a different country, and learn a new language.
 
I scuba dive and it’s brilliant to go solo. Been away loads, mainly on liveaboards (boat). No single supplement and people to talk to if you want it, or you can sit in a corner and read a book.
Also went solo to Indonesia and Kenya/Tanzania but went with a tour company so again there were others in the group, but no one I knew.
 
Have considered it but I think I’d just end up wondering what I’d done wrong in life that I find myself alone with nobody to share my time with. Travel is better when you can experience it with someone. Obviously everyone won’t feel the same so if you fancy it give it a try.
 
It's great. First time I did it was to Ukraine/Chernobyl. :lol: So much freedom to pick and choose what you and you alone want to do. I generally stay at hostels in a private room so I still have my privacy but can meet other people if I want. If you're confident in your own company I'd recommend it.
Could think of nothing worse
A fortnight with the bairns in Tenerife in a hotel resort.

People who travel solo don’t necessarily have no one to share it with. They just choose not to.

My mates retired and busy walking across Europe ,he talks to anybody
