- Boy am I getting out of my comfort zone. Solo travel has never been something I thought I would be doing. I realize at this point in my life if I want to continue to do what I love then I need to be open and willing to do it solo.
I am over 30, divorced, and traveling alone for the first time in my life. There have been a few things that have surprised me and I thought I would being them up in this video. I have so much to learn and travel in Europe is amazing as a couple, friends, family, or solo. Who ever you are, what ever your place in life is...don't let fear and the unknown hold you back. If I can do it, You can do it!

== About Me ==
Hello! I'm Ashley, a travel enthusiast who loves to explore and share everything I learn along the way. I have traveled to over 70 countries and have made if my mission to dig into the culture, history, food, and language as much as I can. I not only want to share my passion for the world but also encourage my viewers to get out and experience it for themselves. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to inspire others to challenge their miss conceptions and step out of what makes them comfortable in hopes of trying or experience something new that may change their life forever.

If someone asked if I was alone, I would ask, ''Why are you asking?'' Maybe they would realize they make you uncomfortable or you would get a sense of interest or danger. I would take advantage of the places to see that are close, because you may be disappointed you didn't. God be with you.
I have been traveling solo for years all around the world and I love it. Now when I travel with someone I get annoyed because I do what they want to do and not what I wanted to do. I have missed some amazing places because of that. In a restaurant I eat when the food is there but while waiting, I spend time sharing on social media so don't feel alone (but I do like the journaling idea). One thing though...never tell anyone you are alone. Its none of their business and even the most innocent situation could turn bad. You need to get a few more street smarts.
Solo travel becomes fun once you get past the initial uncertainty, loneliness, and fear that people are judging you. It becomes freeing!
When some one approaches you and asks if you are solo , I think it comes down to your gut instincts as to what you reply. If you don't like to lie when asked a question, change your mind set and think of all the people around you and even family and friends and even though they are not with you right there they are still 'with' you so no you are not alone. Lovely that you met the lady from China and had a great day with her but of course not everyone is so lovely and so safe so take care :)
Hey Ash...part time single digital nomad that has travelled to 4 countries so far this year on my own. I've been single for long time and am happy to eat solo (sometimes browsing on my phone) and explore solo. I also lived abroad for 2 years as a single person.
Keep doing it Ash. Oh 30 plus is young! Not surprised you attract people to chat to you. You're a bubbly young lady.
I used to hate solo travel. I used to hate being on my own to be honest. Then recently circumstances meant I had to keep going to places on my own and staying in hotels on my own. Slowly, gradually I began to love the total freedom of it. Being finally able to decide just for myself exactly what to do, when to do it, for how long and also just being able to sit and do absolutely nothing without anybody knowing!! It's great. And you're never more than a text or a Facetime away from loved ones. Go for it Ash. You're not totally alone when you know we who also love you so much are thinking of you and waiting for your next video.
I think when traveling solo at dinner it is a good time to review a map or brochure or travel book. The wait staff often have great recommendations for where to go after dinner or the next day. Often when another table hears you discussing where to go, what to see they might chime in as well. Have fun and just keep doing it. I’m sure it will get easier.
Ashley pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone is brave and creates growth! Our daughter at 19 years old backpacked alone from Germany to Florence to start her 2 semester study abroad program. As a mom (in the USA) I was SO worried, but she did it and learned and grew so much as a young woman!
So proud of you Ashley look how much you’ve experienced in just these last few years and proven what a strong woman you are! ~Cara 💖💖
Hello Ash, I love your honesty. I travel alone myself all the time. I feel the same as you, but there is a liberation and sense of achievement in solo travel. I love it.👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲
First, I just want to say how brave you are for getting out there and taking on solo travel. I do think with your determined nature you will be able to push yourself and come to a place where you learn to really embrace the benefits of traveling alone. After all, feeling a little awkward from time to time is way better than not traveling at all! Since you are alone you do have to keep on your toes so please do be cautious, especially when letting someone know you are traveling alone.
My mother had been widowed and always wanted to go to Alaska. She finally convinced herself she could do it and headed north. She packed up her car and was gone for 5 years. She has since passed away but I was always so happy for her that she got to fulfill a dream she'd had for years.
I have only ever traveled with my family. I love it but I honestly have wondered how I would like solo travel. Maybe some day I will get the chance to find out. Like you, I imagine it would take a lot of getting used to being without a travel companion... but I bet it would definitely be worth a try!
I started solo travel in my 30s as I decided I want to travel more and didnt want to wait until someone else wanted to go. Now it is the only way I travel (although occassionaly meet friends while on trips). it is liberating and builds resiliance. Decided to go to Israel for my 40th and was a trip of a life time. Even though I lost my passport I managed to survive and taught me I can do it. As I got older, less of my friends travel so it really is a glorious thing to do!
And food wise, i eat out for lunch and have that as you big meal, as lunch is more informal in restaurants. Also street food is a great option often with communal eating. Denmark in particular is great for this
I'm a solo traveler through and through. I embrace the unknown, and I love interacting with the locals whenever I go someplace new. and those are memories I keep with me.
I went to Florence in April for a language course! It’s lovely! I definitely relate to you. I’m used to solo travel because I’ve never been in a relationship and have studied languages so I like to travel. I enjoy being able to please myself and go at my own pace, but it’s nice when I make friends or go with someone so that I have someone to talk to about the things I’m seeing. I like to do walking tours or cooking classes so that I can chat to and meet new people and potentially make friends. I’ve been away with my mum or friends and it’s nice, but sometimes I wish I had time to myself as being away 24/7 with someone is a bit stifling. If I travel alone I am way more aware of personal safety. I always tell someone where I’ll be staying, check in often and don’t go to certain areas or stay out late. If someone asked if I was alone I would probably lie and say no, I’m meeting a friend. When I eat alone I usually take a book or magazine, but I do feel less able to sit at the table for as long as if I’m with someone. I love the journaling tip! I’m going to Wrocław on my own in December and am excited!
Those are lovely words, Bob. i am adapting to having to travel solo, it's really hard, and i don't think I ever really explained it to my family, hence I have let them down more than once when arranging visits etc. Especially with the two-year hiatus of lockdown too, it can sap one's nerves! Thanks for the hope of a more confident future! xx
Go and enjoy your new adventure. 👍🥰
I’ve traveled a lot, and only twice with another person. I’ve never been married, but even when I had a boyfriend, I traveled on my own. I love it!
I’m in my 50’s, and I still schedule a stay or 2 in hostels. I like the traveler vibe. I love a good hotel bar. 😁 I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb. Many hostels have rooms for 1 person. I’ve stayed fin them.
When eating alone, starting, sitting at the counter was more comfortable. Or, a table outside. There’s more opportunities to talk to others. Sitting, at a table in the middle of the space, is something I grew into. That can take time.
I had that freaked out feeling at age 31 when I went to Thailand on my own for the first time. It took a couple of days to pass, it was very strange and I totally understand how you feel. It must be even stranger for a young woman. I would recommend never telling people you are on your own if they ask you directly. Err on the side of caution.
I have booked a bunch of solo trips for next year. I am going to venice, florence and rome next year and croatia and then end of the year turkey. Next month i am going to Egypt but i have never solo travelled abroad but now i will because i figure life is short and I can’t wait forever to meet like minded people. I want to meet others on my travels and see more of this world so i am branching out of my comfort zone these days. I started solo travel here in US and i am from england so travel back and forth to england often. I always hike alone so i figure that could be scarier so i am trying new things these days
I love solo traveling and being able to do what a want and when I want to do it. It is relief to not have to worry about anyone...but I have been told by friends and family that it is a little selfish to feel that way:) I think it take a little getting use too, but it is a confidence boost for me to travel solo trips for sure! I take my kindle and read at restaurants and meet people as well, so I am not always alone. I like the idea of journaling and will try that one. I think you are more open to experiences when solo traveling...maybe because there is no judgement, when you are with someone else you are in your own little world at times. You are going to grow to love it, I think! Be safe and smart and keep traveling.
That is one of the best things about solo travel is that people will talk to you. I think when you are with someone people assume that you don't want to have conversations.
Many years ago I took an overnight bus from Airlie Beach to Brisbane. I had one day there before I had to catch a train south. Took a bus into the city & chatted to the lady next to me. Her husband was away for a few days so she offered to show me around her hometown. We had lunch, explored a few areas & said our goodbyes. I would have been happy to explore by myself but I got so much more out of that day thanks to her.😊
I am amazed by you, with you travelling solo I believe you are growing much more in experience and atleast here in West Europe it's safe.
I love solo travel. I can go at my own pace, don’t have to carry anyone’s bags but my own, eat when I want, get up when I want.
Really great topics you touched on! Nice to see another solo female traveler doing a more journalistic way of travel vlogs, really appreciate you.
As for the question of "are you traveling alone?" I usually have responses ready for the type of environment I'll be in, as a solo traveler... if I feel uncomfortable I'll respond vaguely while still having emotional intelligence observing/feeling out the person that asked, considering environment and where I'm going after that encounter. Basically practice self-awareness when that question is asked.
Let me know if you're ever going to Brazil, cheers!
I really enjoyed your video. 🫶🏼
Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼💕
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
Thank you!
Take care ashley!God bless you!😊😊😊
When you finíssing your spanish classes you can do the...Camino de Santiago,is one incredible experience.
I feel your pain, single living, through circumstance and illness, (it's not quite the same as being, "single" but i hope you understand), i feel anxiety just travelling long distance, UK, where i live, let alone contemplate international travel. It's hard, when you have to make all the decisions, and little support behind us. xx
I needed this video. I love your laugh ❤ thank youuuu
I’m so glad you made this video! I’m doing my first solo trip (to Budapest) at the end of the month, so this video was super helpful!!
I get what you mean by sitting alone in restaurants…I started listening to audiobooks and that made me feel less lonely and awkward
I'm going on my first real solo trip to South America in March. Although I'll be on a tour, this trip will be a little different for me. My husband can't come, and since this trip is a gifted retirement trip, I'm just winging it. So hello, new friends, Machu Pichu, and the Amazon. I'm actually looking forward to this, but not so much the travel days. Yes, I got my meds and shots. I'm prepared for this new adventure.
Glad you’re getting out there and traveling anyway, even alone. I did travel in Europe a lot but with a good friend. Once I met her in Switzerland and got to be alone for one day which I thought was fun. Maybe a friend can go to some places with you or a roommate. A friend of mine traveled alone a lot and she did a lot of group things. Enjoy seeing Florence; my first time there I was so amazed I wandered around for over three hours. My friend was at the hotel and was getting a little worried. Even if you feel alone sometimes just remember your followers are there. Thanks for sharing 😊
Interesting topic.
I have also the same experience as you of both solo travel and travel as a couple. When traveling solo you are easier to aprouce and contact than if you are traveling as a couple but traveling as a couple again you have somebody to share the experience with. I have done both during the past years and even at the same destinations and seen and experienced the trips different as solo traveler than traveling as a couple but both have been good in a different way.
I've been a solo traveller for many years and love it, especially when I meet others. The only downside is a table for one in a restaurant.
I didnt have any chance to travel before I was 30. Then I got to travel a lot ( domestic travel within UK). I was sometimes on my own and sometimes with another person. (Not an in a relationship type person). Both kinds of travel had strengths and weaknesses. One thing I found but this is maybe just me. With another person I tended to follow their lead especially if they already knew the location. I basically let my brain go to sleep. I had a good wake up one day when we lost each other in the train station and she got on the train without me,thinking I was just behind her. I realised how "lazy" I had become and knew that in future I must think for myself. Luckily that day a friendly train guard had seen it happen so he directed me to the next train and rang the station we were going to who told my friend I'd be on the next train. I think that was a lucky stroke for me. I hope you get to enjoy a mixture of solo and in company travel Ashley. Both have different strengths and flaws.
I totally get eating alone and feeling awkward. Sometimes that discomfort is good and helps us grow. You are rocking it. Loved the video!
I just go to restaurants early, take a magazine or read my phone. Its fine
Traveling solo is priceless. And Italy is magic, you chose a great destination!! Firezen is one of my favorit cities, so much history and art all together!
The main reason I didn’t get married in my 20’s was because I didn’t want to be divorced in my 30s. I grew up in an older crowd and I listened to them. Just turned 30 and it’s now Time to start slowing down after I watched and learned.
I've never been on a solo trip apart from catching the odd flight on my own. I think I could do it but would find it a bit lonely and weird not having someone to share it with. One of my favourite things about travelling is discovering places/food/culture with another person and reminiscing about it in the years after. I'd also be more nervous in case something went wrong or I got lost, but I guess you never know your own strengths until you're pushed out of your comfort zone!
You are Never Alone. We all love you. Reach out and one of your fans will be there for you ❤️
I started traveling solo in my later years and I understand it can be uncomfortable sometimes. On the occasions when I eat at a nice restaurant, I do bring my art pad and draw/doodle for something to occupy myself until my food arrives. I think solo travel for women is much more prevalent now and restaurants take care to seat you appropriately. I had a lovely meal in Venice alone and the waiter sat me near the front facing the door which was perfect. I didn’t have to look at everyone in groups and couples, which might make one feel lonely, or see them looking at me. I have found that people are much more prone to approaching you when you are traveling alone. I’ve met some really wonderful people on planes, at airports or just sightseeing. I believe in the law of attraction so I just don’t focus on the bad that could happen and just expect that all will be well. When I’m walking I do so confidently and am always aware of my surroundings. As for what to say when you are asked if you’re traveling alone; it all depends on who is asking I think. But if you don’t want them to know you could say you’re meeting up with a friend or a family member. Happy travels Ash!
I have been to Amsterdam and to Sinai Egypt alone and I have been there with Friends and although I had a fun time in both places solo I enjoyed both of those places more when I went back with friends.
I have never had to travel alone, and also do not like eating in a restaurant solo. With that said though, I love travel so much, that if I had to travel alone, I would. Just like you Ash, it would take me time to adjust. Personally, if asked if I was alone, I would never say I was. I also don't like not telling the truth, but feel like I don't owe this stranger an honest answer in this case. I would just say my travel companion is meeting up with me. I feel there is a safety risk for anyone travelling alone, but especially a female. I don't think you are going to have any trouble though with any of this. You've been travelling for years. You've GOT THIS! - Coreen
Going to restaurants or bars alone is something that I've never gotten used to. Sometimes I just goto a chain restaurant because it's less awkward, or eat in my and watch Netflix 😄
I've done several very short solo trips within the U.S. I went on my first international solo trip in August when I went to Italy. I went to some new towns that I hadn't travelled to before, as well as a couple of somewhat familiar ones (Florence, Rome). I had a good time and enjoyed being able to do what I wanted, when I wanted. I still prefer travelling with family or friends but feel confident in my abilities to travel by myself.
You can eat alone more comfortably at lunchtime.
Have your big meal then, and get something easy to eat in your room at night.
I travel mostly solo and love it.
I meet friends part way.
Never tell anyone you are alone!
I don’t, and I’m 68!
As for myself when i travel alone I am hyper vigilant in my surroundings and yes I do understand the awkward feeling eating in restaurants without a guest with you. I find its just these weird feelings you experience being solo for the first time and we all go through it. When i traveled to Sicily my family were always getting dinner dates for me which was interesting but just as awkward..LOL Ash ...as always, all the best!
Great video Ash. Yeah solo travelling after a divorce was weird. I eased myself back into it by going to a familiar city (Berlin, which I had visited at least 13 times before). But I noticed I was avoiding eating in restaurants on my own - it was even stranger when I did in London (and I only live up the road ;)). My next trip was to Stockholm where I had a mix of eating at the hotel and couple of halfhearted trips to the local pub, luckily I met up with a couple of friends on other nights so I didn’t feel too awkward. I guess the more you do it the better it gets. I wouldn’t recommend that solo women travellers tell people they are alone (at least initially) - perhaps you should say you are hanging out with friends and are meeting up later. It’s a personal call. I found it slightly harder finding things to do in a city I hadn’t been to, and obviously had to do more research and double check travel arrangements. Good luck Ash!
Hey Ashley! Great video. I am the same way as you that I don’t like lying (and am not very good at it lol) but when I’m traveling alone I come up with a cover story that’s close to the truth like “I’ve got friends here that I’m meeting up with.” Which is true-ish because friends on IG has reached out to you asking to get together! I hope that helps. Keep on traveling!
Ash, you're a tough cookie no doubt. Takes courage to do what you're doing. =]
I travel alone a lot Ash and sometimes i feel like i have a certain hesitancy about it and it really bugs me as many people i see on youtube do it every week, I was in florence 3 weeks ago lovely place.
Florence one of my fav places for food .. along with Barcelona 😁
I love to travel alone because it's my me time.
I had that awkward feeling in restaurants as well but the more I did it, the more comfortable it felt. Some days it still feels strange, then I'll bring a book and yes, i did that journaling trick as well. Or I'll just get something to take away. You can do whatever you want and be as spontanious as you like. And if you feel alone or want to share something, there's social media, there's the phone, there are lovely strangers being friends for just a nice small talk.
Travelling alone sounds lovely, reading at a pub with chips, meeting new people, etc... I've been divorced 18.5 years though and I'm still young (43) and my kid is in college at 18.5 years old. I used to go out with him all the time, but now it's just me most of the time and it's very confidence boosting.
As a solotraveller, i can recommend to travel alone. It can give you new insights of things when you are with yourself in new surroundings. The only thing for me is that, i can’t share the beautiful moments with someone. I like when people enjoy and wonder with me. But I am alone, but not lonely.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Ash!
Your travelling solo is your choice. Theres a line of quality people seeking your approval, and companionship.
I like traveling by myself now. It started from going to Las Vegas with friends. We would gamble at different games and if someone was winning you might end up eating or exploring by yourself. Since I enjoyed doing it there I started doing it elsewhere. One my favorite trips was around your home state. I visited Mt St Helens, Portland/Astoria OR, Washington Coast and Olympic National Park. I took 3 days and had a blast.
Your never truly alone, but please use a little caution. Happy travels.
you will get what you want one day, you watch..x
When traveling (or vacationing) with companion(s) a part of you is distracted by the other person(s). This distraction may be positive, negative, or neutral but still unconsciously exists. Without this distraction your attention is more immersed into your surroundings - places, people, scenery.... Hence solo travelers attract folks in their same situation and often link up as you did.
Young Lady... Listen... I've been thru this... I know you do/want companionship. It's hard to be on your own. You will find your true love. Be patient, Don't give up. I've been single for 8 years. It does not make me not want a relationship. You're a good person. We all see it. Faith, Young Lady, Faith.....
The only downside I have with solo travel is hotels that charge by the room as one ends up paying the same as a couple or two people sharing does. Hotels that have single rooms often charge a supplement for single occupancy. Always objected to an all inclusive hotel/resort having a single supplement as only half the food and drink bring consumed yet they want to charge extra. Only the really expensive hotels, like the Savoy or Claridge don't charge a single supplement but if paying up to 4 figures for a night they don't need to, they do seem to always seat a single in a corner of the restaurant, is it to hide them away or so the person can see what is going on around as entertainment?
Well done , I realised early on that if I waited for friends I would never go anywhere , it was easy in my early 20's. I know it's safer for men but guys can feel uncomfortable too. I always met people on my own, I always found locals really friendly especially when you ask for help.
When I felt lonely I would put on my music , read a book and eat chocolate with a glass of wine always did the trick. Btw activity type hols was always easy. Enjoy you've taken the hardest step.
Come back to Türkiye Ash, You have to solo travel to İstanbul next, you re close :)
Here on the French coast there are mature women who's man is either working in the city, died from the former or made off with the surprising more expensive by the week secretary. Meanwhile they sit at a table for 1 often with a little dog in a cafe / bistro / restaurant. Looking special. In short, ladies that lunch in Europe are treated well.
travelling alone is great chance to meet new like minded people...… done loads alone and loved it. made some life long friends form going solo. and can do your own itinerary when you want : )
It's tough to travel alone, I don't know how you guys do it.
I’ve always been a solo traveller. I don’t know what it is about solo travel but it’s just who I am. I really struggle when I travel with others (no matter how much I love them 😂).
Yes, I’ve been to Marbella on my own before. It’s a beautiful city. I loved my walks across the Marbella Cento promenade and Puerto Banus. I didn’t mind traveling alone because I’ve visited Marbella before with family.. So I was familiar with the city. Does anyone recommend traveling to Europe on group tours for single people?
I'm a long time solo traveller...sadly you still get a bit of snobbery from some....but the freedom is the best part by far.
Solo traveling is way better than couple traveling or family traveling where you go out and learn new things and you have to be careful but someone is there to watch over you. So that's the right choice!
PS, when someone asks you are you alone, deflect the question by saying, "I'm never alone".
when I was 25, fresh out of a long term relationship I booked a ferry from england to Norway and a return from Spain to England, took a tent. For the first week I did feel very alone and missed the ability to share my experience as it happened. After a week or so that passed and I was fully immersed in seeing and experiencing the adventure. I passed through many european countries, coastal, Alps, caves, beautiful old cities. As an aside, when I arrived back in Plymouth, border control set about tearing down my car for no reason, their snifffer dog scratched my car interior. I had no idea why they picked me, I was an IT professional with all my own teeth - not the usual drug user. I guess a man in a car on their own registered high on their stupid scale. What a welcome home that was.
I am an introvert and think I may be slightly autistic though I haven't been officially diagnosed but I have had councilling and my councilor has suggested he thinks I am I love solo travel but I am a guy so that obviously makes a difference but I think having grown up in a very harsh challenging area of my home town of Birkenhead England has helped me I hear people suggesting doing certain things and behaving certain ways and I find myself doing these sensible things automatically without even thinking and I feel I pick up the vibe of a place very quickly and am quite streetwise in that way I am 51 years old and my two boys are 26 & 29 and have their own kids and lives and while I love spending time with my Grandchildren with the 4 & 5 day breaks in my work shift pattern I still get to travel in fact I am currently in Montenegro (though I did facetime my Grandson Leighton earlier) keep living your dreams I do think you need to be very comfortable with your own company which I feel you are not used to
I love solo travel, I think that in order to love it you must be good with your own company. that being said sometimes it is lonely and then you must figure out what to do to not be lonely, maybe find a tour or stay in a hostel to meet people. As for eating alone it is a strange concept to most people. Again must be good with your own company. I find that most people dont pay attention to others around them so really it is just in our own mind that it is awkward. I like to talk with the servers and journaling is a great idea. solo travel especially as a woman comes with a slew of things that you must think about that solo men do not and safety is one of them, but I find that you get used to being hype aware of your surroundings becomes second nature.
Linda😍😍😍😍😍
Unrelated to the theme of this video,..... What visa are you on which allows you to stay in the Schengen for more then 90 days?
I just people watch when I eat alone. That personally doesn't bother me (recording in public does though). One of my side gigs is at a Subway..it not the nicest area. Many customers will ask if I'm working all alone (showing concern), but I don't know how to respond either. "Yes, I'm alone. Please rob us." ??? lol
Oh girl, the most freeing and wonderful thing in the world is traveling alone and I do not have children. That said I will talk to a wall so make many lovely new friends.
Hi ash , I so much want to travel but after my recent divorce from a 24 yr marriage I’m just afraid to do it alone. I’ve tried but after a day or two I see myself flying back to the states.
How can I overcome this
Solo feeling ?
Thank you for your videos travel safe.
I travel to my destination alone but meet up with someone like friends or family. I think I would travel solo but want someone to split the cost with. I am about your mother's age but I can probably pull it off.
Bless you, I can see what you mean as being so comfortable and at ease with someone travelling for a long time can make it seem weird I am sure, but I think it is part of maturing and being alone with God.
I have had to learn to be alone with God even home lol
I have learned that those journeys can be while travelling and whilst not travelling.
At least travelling alone you can get to spiritual levels with God and plateaus that you can't with someone else there and that is really important.
I would also say you have to imagine yourself sitting in an everyday boring job, would you be much happier doing what you are doing now instead? No bosses, no rules but your own as Kinging it even says.
God rules your world and that is what makes the next decision you make so sweet.
I think it is super great you are encouraging us all to go out and live our lives to the fullest, bit also be sensitive to what he is doing and what he wants you to do.
The other funny thing is you never know who you are going to meet along the way as well as as soon as you get used to being alone love may look in your direction?
It did for me when I was pretty closed off to it.
How about I will travel with you ashling

This man has been traveling the world for years. Alone. 🤔
Your right people tend to avoid you if you're a pair.. Those made up thoughts of being alone, are just not being in the Moment, they pass when you relax and enjoy where you are.😁
I prefer traveling alone and joining up with temporary travel companions down the road - if I feel like it.
Come to think of it - this way of teaming up is a bit like the Hunger Games, isn't it? 🎯
Japan has opened, so come on here. You can eat a lot of delicious foods at cheaper prices than before because of the weak yen. Prices are also cheap.
I have traveled alone in many parts of the world Especially on business trips. Here is some suggestions that I would make. First, like you, I don't like going to a non-fastfood restaurant and sitting at a table alone. My suggestion is sit at the bar. First you can talk to the bartender. Second, you are more likely to find other single people. Also, I dont go to 5 star restaurants alone, as I think part of fine dining is being able to discuss wth others. (But there are LOTs of reastaurants I would go to. For example in BCN, go to a tapas bar.) Another suggestion I have is to find a buddy that you would call regularly while traveling. Someone who who find sharing your thoughts about where your visiting enjoyable. (Perhaps a girl friend) And finally, don't think you are awkared being by yourself. To be honest no one really is watching you. Its all in your head.) Do I like traveling solo more than with another? The honest answer is, "sometimes:, but mostly no. It depends alot on where I am, and who the "other person" is. Ciao
That would be uncomfortable eating alone in a restaurant or some other places, even going out to walk around attractions without somebody else. I was married for thirty years before becoming a widow, and so you still have many opportunities in front of you but I know the awkward feelings you refer to. Do what was suggested to you, and take a notepad and review the meal, restaurant or place. Many RUclipsrs already do that and it wouldn't look awkward. With a camera you would look like a RUclipsr, and with a notepad you'd look like a food critic. Some extra money as well.
Ive traveled alone for 25 years including living in India for 2 years. Its not as safe now as when i was younger. And i really dont like to do it or advise it. Ive heard too many stories from single women. In India families travel in packs. I think a group is a much better idea.
Question: Travelling solo is a learned skill. Any couple can travel world, not so as solo traveller. When did you ever travel solo? You have no experience in any kind of solo travel, not even in the USA.
I have too much anxiety to travel a lot alone. Oh, I've done it... but I don't like it. And in todays world the safety issue would really freak me out. There's an awful lot of cons (pun intended) that go along with those pros.
Nothing to do with travelling as a single female, I toured on my own through Europe once upon a time because I liked the freedom. I should have gone with a tour group on a bus. Locating tourist attractions, and finding transport is too much hassle. When you live there fulltime, it is a different story.
let me know if you need a +1
Come to India you will never fell lonely even if you wont to be lonely,rome in on street instead of 5star or taj low bujte friendly get your self to ride of rollercosta 😂😂😂🤣
❤ would you get married again? You are so beautiful. Plus you love GOD and you are a GOD fearing person. It’s lonely on the top of the mountain
Im a 26 years old guy from Norway and have been pretty much all alone since I was 18 years old. I have been working a pretty crap job for all these years without going to school. I LOVE travelling but I also want an education. My dream is to solo travel somewhere sometime while getting an education. I dont know how that would work out though. I have learned and getting used to being alone and enjoy my own company... but sometimes the feeling of being lonely hits me and it hurts. I think my first destination of travelling alone would be Nepal, hiking in the beautiful mountains there and meeting the lovely people Nepal has to offer. I think travelling alone would help me alot mentally but of course I would miss my family alot since they are pretty much the only people I speak with
I really love ❤❤❤❤ and l want to be your partner in life and enjoy a lot more than ever before thanks💞💞💞💞💞💪💪
