have you ever travelled to a unknown place alone?

Yes I traveled to an unknown place for a couple of time and I just dont' like it. I mean it could be just because of the type of place I go. The last time I went to this unfamiliar place, and I had to stay there for another day and night, that was not on my plan, I ended up renting into a lodging house or something, it was in the heart of a very busy city and hotels are full all the time and I just can't sleep on the streets, I spent too much by just going to a hotel to another hotel and to find out that they are full. It was so frustrating and I was so freaking tired that time, my feet was hurting so bad and I was hungry. A street boy helped me find a place to sleep, tho it wasn't what I expected but at least it was enough for me to stay for the night, I didn't sleep at all, it was my worst nightmare. So traveling alone is a great feeling for me but ending up in a very busy place where you just don't know where to go is just a nightmare. I guess, to avoid these things, you have to plan everything ahead.

when I decided to go abroad for the summer for my very first time, I did this alone and i really enjoyed it. traveling this way you can feel free to enything you want. You don't have to deal with other people wishes. It's a great feeling to explore what you want to, to communicate with locals more. Sometimes you do miss your close ones, but i don't think that it's bad :)

I've traveled many places alone. I figure if no one wants to go with me I'll just go by myself! And I have always had a great time because I get along with myself just fabulously!

I would love to be able to spend a couple of months touring around Europe alone. It isn't that I don't love my wife, or that I don't like traveling with her. I would just want to be able to go where I wanted to go, when I wanted to go, and I would be able to move faster alone if I decided to cover a lot of ground in a hurry. I would have such a good time. Of course, I WOULD like to have my wife fly over a couple of times to spend a weekend or something while I was there. Other times, however, I would want to be alone so that I could study the things I wanted to study without being interrupted.

Yes I have. This summer I was unemployed for a while so I took a day trip to another part of the state I live in. I was curious about the place because one of my cousins use to live there.

I did. It is couple years ago when I visiting somewhere in China. It is a famous city but I lost. I took a bus to a town close to my destination and there is only one bus everyday heading to the destination in the early morning. Someone in the station suggested me to take a taxi there, it was 6pm, getting dark. The taxi driver took a shortcut and went into some rural area. No even one people around, that really scare me. But it took 30 minutes and finally I got there safely. Horrible.

I went to Italy alone, for six weeks, in 1994. I loved it. Being alone gives you the freedom to go where the whim takes you. I stayed with a friend in Rome but travelled elsewhere. Stayed with another friend in North Italy. And took my Rome friend down to Pompei and Capri for a little jaunt to thank her for her hospitality. I was in my 40's at the time ... on the borderline between age and beauty hahaha! I got hassled once but just said loudly and firmly "Va Via!" (go away) and he slunk off like a wounded dog. It definitely helps if you have some of the language. Many of my best memories of that time involve spontaneous conversations with people I came across.... like I saw a child come out of a shop and begin to watch a guy arc welding, on the street, and I said in my feeble Italian that she shouldn't watch it, it was bad for her eyes. She went back into the shop, and I was happy I could communicate that! And I saw a beggar asking for money, and asked if he was hungry to which he said yes, and so I gave him a hunk of pizza left over from my lunch, and he ate it :-) that sort of thing. I would do it again if I was healthier! Travelling alone is great, but it is a big help if you know someone in that country and can have a bit of time with them to break the "alone-ness"!

In the past I have travelled on my own a couple of times for instanse in Estonia, Hungary and Italy. I have enjoyed my trips a lot, but it was also a challenge to handle everything on my own. When I went to Budapest in Hungary I had made a hotel reservation online. It was pretty difficult to find the hotel and I got lost a couple of times, but I finally managed to find the right place. I went inside and I told the receptionist that I had made a reservation, but he just looked at me and said: "Are you sure about that?" He was very rude, and he refused to give me the key at first, but after a long discussion he finally agreed to let me have the key, and I was able to go to my room. A few days later I wanted to buy a ticket for the metro, and then I ran into problems again, because the woman at the ticekt office didn't speak English or German, and I was unable to talk to her in Hungarian. I didn't know how to explain to her what I wanted to buy, but I was lucky because a couple of people were waiting in line behind me, and they helped me translate from English to Hungarian.

Your adventurous side is very admirable. However, even the thought of traveling alone terrifies me. I have never tried traveling alone except when my trip is already homebound. It seems like I mostly get in trouble when I have no companion. But when someone is with you, even if both of you are lost, you help each other out to find the right way.

I wouldn't recommend it as a women. Too many girls get taken advantage of while traveling alone.

hi myd Yes, I have done travel alone, It was fun and exiting travel alone I learned many things, to be independent and to be more responsible person. problem? I think the language, they can't understand english so at first I find it really difficult to express, but then later I can speak with their language, its more easy to communicate with them with their own.

Yes..i did, when i got my new vehicle. I wanted to go for a long ride..And I did went to the border of my city. It was a village like..i never knew villages at my city end. People did look at me differently as i had different hair style. They asked me who i was and i said, they are good indeed. They gave me some liquid like which is a health drink for them and then a young man, came with me and left me at my known place. It was a good one

I've traveled alone all over the U.S. I've been to every state in the country, except Alaska, and almost all of them have been alone. Sure, I travel with my mom and friends too, but I have no trouble traveling alone. I enjoy driving and navigating, going wherever I please, stopping whenever I please, continuing to go on whenever I please, etc. The only problems I've ever run in to is that I don't make reservations either, because I never know where I'll be and when. As such, I've ended up sleeping in my car, alongside a highway, in Florida and Colorado. There weren't any problems, except it got cold in the car in Colorado. (That's why I always travel with blankets and a pillow.)

I travelled to Africa alone when I was 18. I stayed for 3 years, living In Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan. Then I went to China and Hong Kong when I was 21. Now I live in Indonesia, am very happily married to a wonderful Indonesian man and plan to stay here permanently. I did come here alone, but now I have my husband of course. We met here. I loved traveling alone. The adventure made me feel alive. Because no one I knew had ever been to the places I was in I felt unique. I felt like I was making a difference, whether it was true or not. I think everyone who has the means should travel outside of their own country alone, even just once. It really makes you realize how valuable people's differences are.

I learn about places in the world by reading travel guide books. I always research a destination before I go there. I find it exciting and enjoyable to visit cities that I haven't ever been to. I am able to read a map to find my way around. In Bulgaria I experienced a language barrier. In Slovakia I asked if anyone spoke English because I could not work out which bus I could get to Poland. A fifteen year old Polish boy spoke English and helped me on my way. Traveling to different countries is my top hobby. I shall be visiting Canada this summer. It will be my first trip to Vancouver.

It is well known that live in a stange place is not very convenient to arrange life. To be honest, I do not like traveling from place to place. Once I would like to go to an unknown place, I hope I can stay there for a long time, in order to live a happy life, I will consider anything, for example, I wonder whether the local weather is good for health, whether the food is fit for my appetite and whether the life custom is easy to adapt.

hi! no, i haven't traveled alone to some unknown place, just because i hate to travel alone, and i also make a research for the place before I go and visit it :)

yes, dear i have been travel to unknown places, it always become a good experience.

I really enjoy traveling and have lot of passion for that. I am a nature lover and like to go deep into the Himalayas and be with the beauty of nature. I have visited deep forests in the Himalayas with my camera as I am a photographer too and captured many good photographs which are to my =credits. Recently I had been deep into the Himalayan mountains to the birth place of River Ganga. Which is in Gangotri. The birth place of Ganga is known as GoMUKH. I cannot explain this by words but have very good photographs which stand as a proof of the beauty of the river"s birth place...... One should visit and only then can enjoy.
