Do you like to travel alone?

I really hate being alone, and much more when traveling. I want somebody to talk to while I'm on the way. Sometimes, I even pay for the fare of a friend or a relative just to prevent traveling alone. Although I am an independent person, I just hate the feeling of walking/traveling alone in another place and doing things all by myself. It's boring and no fun. How about you, can you travel alone?

I love to travel with family and friends. A sure way to enjoy a place is to have someone to share the experience with. It's FUN, FUN, FUN!

I can travel alone. I don't want my companion to worry about me, that's why I want to travel alone. I can go as far places as I could. And to travel alone means lesser liabilities

I guess traveling with your gf/bf is really the best. You will surely enjoy the entire trip just by being with each other.

As much as possible, I travel with a companion. As you have said, traveling alone is no fun at all, and sometimes its even unsafe. But there are times that I do travel alone. But preferably, I want a companion so that I can talk and interact. Moreover, I feel safer when you are with someone you know and trust as you travel.

I travel quite often by myself. I went to Paris, Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur alone and I think it's a great experience to explore unknown places alone and meeting new people that I completely don't know and learn about their culture. In Ho Chi Minh, I met a tourist from France and three ladies from Hanoi and know about their countries. In paris, I find it's sort of an adventure because not many people want to speak English and it's became a challenge to travel around the city. In Kuala Lumpur because it has similar language to my country, it's not difficult to explore the city. Of course there are disadvantages on travelling this way. Simple example s if you want to take a picture, you must ask a stranger to do it for you and sometimes it's quite annoying for them and for ourselves, too much hassle

If i travel alone, where is the fun in this? I don`t like to travel alone, it depends of what sort of travel it is. If is a business travel, or a travel to clear my head, i think it`s best to go all by myself. But if it`s a pleasure travel, i prefer to be with my friends or boyfriend, or both, friends and boyfriend, because it would be boring to go alone. Or maybe if you are lucky, you can meet someone, while you are traveling, but that i think is less likely.

well, its nice to have companies to travel so that you wont get bored and in case theres problem someone will help you.Me too i hate to travel alone but i have no choice sometimes but to be wt myself. whats the good things travelling alone is you will become more independent, you learn so much thru youre experience being alone, and u will become strong.so u can go everywhere u want without hesitations.

I've done it in the past, but I was going somewhere where I'd be with people, not travelling alone for the sake of it. However, I think under some circumstances, it might be fun. But I can't see myself doing it any time soon. I'm a home bird I'm afraid...

traveling is my hobby and I use to travel a visit the places a lot. I like traveling alone because without any disturbance I can enjoy the views while traveling.

Hello Reco. I suppose it depends how far I'm travelling. If it's just an hour or so then I don't mind being alone, I actually enjoy my own company sometimes and it's nice to switch off and do my own thing. If I'm on a long plane journey I like to have company. I love going away with the family or friends, travelling is sometimes one of the best parts of a holiday :)

I, on the other hand, do love traveling alone, even though these days I rarely have the opportunity to do so. Of course, being with a friend is always a lot more fun, but isn't it just as important to be able to spend time on your own? To me, going somewhere alone is the best opportunity to clear my head and think things through. Going on a journey alone also allows you to experience something new, try something out that you normally wouldn't do when having to adapt to someone else who's with you. Thinking about it, did you know that the idea of Harry Potter was also born during a train journey?

I do not like to travel alone. It is depressesing. It is always a better idea to travel with someone because it is more entertaining and you have something to do at all times. Being alone is also dangerous. You could get killed, kidnapped, lost ect. Having someone around descreases these chances.

Definitely not..Even with my relatives too I'm not interested to travel..only with my friends I'm interested..That will be great fun if we travel with friends..I had this in my college days..We all went for a 5 day trip..and enjoyed to the full extent..I never forget that.. But I like to travel short distance when I'm alone( I mean within the city )..But the climate should be cool and raining slowly..so that I can hear songs in my ear phone and just enjoy the fresh air.. Happy mylotting

Getting there should just be as pleasant as being there, at least for me. Being alone does not make me happy as much as being in a crowd. I just love to travel with my family and share the joy and happiness together.

I'm OK travelling alone. Sometimes I actually find it easier as I make my own decisions, and am comfortable reading or on the PC.
