Have you traveled alone?

Yes I did many times I guess and the latest one was quite far because it was half way across the world. I traveled before from Davao to Manila by myself for 4 times already; it's more or less a couple of hours by plane. The recent travel i had was on May last year coming from the Philippines to the USA all by myself again and it was a very long trip it takes me almost 3 days including the stop overs in some countries. Well basically am not a very cautious but in fact I like adventures in traveling so I never had any problems traveling alone, I enjoyed it very much.

I have traveled alone a couple of times and I wouldn't mind doing it again. I definately prefer to travel with my fiance or a friend, but when the others are busy or can't afford to travel, I would rather travel alone than miss out on a trip. I sometimes feel lonely when I travel on my own and miss having someone to talk to, but I always enjoy exploring a new town or country and travelling makes me happy even when I am travelling alone.

I backpacked around Europe for 7 weeks this summer completely solo and had a blast! It was great because I could pick my own itinerary, eat what I wanted, stay or go whenever I pleased and I wasn't subject to anyone else's whims. I met a South African guy in Spain who I sort of traveled with for a bit, but even he got on my nerves after awhile. I really enjoyed being by myself. It was even better because staying in hostels like I was, and being alone meant I was super approachable. Couples, or large groups of friends are more difficult to infiltrate or to get to know. Besides, I felt extremely independent and strong doing it all by myself. Although in some respects it would have been great to share the experience with someone else, I really enjoyed doing it solo. I'd definitely do another solo trip, too.

I have flown alone several times. Usually to see family. I cannot imagine having any fun vacationing alone. Who would I share my memories of the trip with? "Hey do you remember the time..oh no, I was alone" Just doesn't seem right.

I have only traveled alone on business trips. Once I arrived at the hotel, there were structured programmes for us and we were kept together as a group all the time. Other than that, I have not really travelled alone. I don't think I will get such opportunity anymore now that I have a family.

I just went to Rome, Italy last December and yes I travelled alone. I really want to see Rome and Vatican City but then none of my friends is available that time and the fact that I planned about 3x to be in ROme and that 3 plans was a failure because suddenly my friend will back out then I told myself, ok I think I better go alone. Before I decided to travel I did some research about the safety of the place. And I am very hapy with my trip although alone but I never felt alone in such a wonderful place and the nice thing is that I met new friends along my trip.

I have traveled solo on many occassions, by choice. I actually like it quite a lot. I'd say about 25% of my travel up til now has been solo.

Personally, I think that if safety is one's main concern; it's definitely safer to travel with people whom you trust. I must admit that I don't consider it weird if a person decides to travel all by himself or herself. Based on my own experience, I have travelled both by myself and together with my own family. Most often, I enjoy travelling with my own family specially if we're making a trip or going on a vacation to our hometown. I love seeing the sights along the countryside and if our daughter is with us in the trip, I enjoy playing with her while she sits on my lap. But when I'm bothered by problems or worries (specially financial in nature), I'd like to make a trip alone. But most often, this would only be a trip where I am quite familiar with my destination; just like you said. Somehow, I could clear my thoughts this way and formulate plans or courses of action to take. I don't want others to wait on me, specially when I go shopping. I also hate taking trips to the stores in a hurried manner, because I couldn't concentrate on what I planned to purchase which I might end up buying the wrong or defective merchandise. Also, it might irritate whoever my companion is, if I take so long in the store.

I think I would actually like to go on vacation alone. Then I could do whatever I wanted to do and not have to worry about satisfying anyone else.

Yes while going to my job I travel alone lol Because no one is there to accompany me lol

Yes, i have traveled alone to spend christmas with my aunt abroad.. I was 19 and the experience was fun and scary at the same time.. =) i never thought that i'll be going solo.. =) if given a chance, i'd like to do it again!

I have only travelled on my own once, and I don't think I would again. Although I got to see a lot of sights, I strongly think it would have been much more fun if I'd have had a friend with me while I was there. I will go again and take a friend with me to enjoy it with me.

i don;t travel lonely .i prefer to go in groups only . if we go lonely there will be no enjoyment and thrill. so i prefer for groups only rather than solo. if i go shopping in my place or see a movie, i can go lonely ,but i won;t go lonely for any other place or other country.

I have never travelled alone. Always with family when i was younger. And now it's with friends or my boy friend. I wouldn't like travelling alone - the main part of vacation for me is sharing the new place in the world with someone I love. Then you have the memories with someone and can talk about the rest of your life.

I did travel alone a long time ago. But it was going to Texas for my basic training after I joined the service. I like to talk to people so while I was on the plane I talked to people and learned some things about different places. Other than this I have never traveled alone.

I have travelled alone extensively. In fact I usually prefer it to travelling with others. Here are some more thoughts about traveling solo: http://www.helium.com/items/1323587-benefits-of-travelling-alone (sorry myLot won't let me hyperlink, so you'll have to cut and paste)
