Lone Holidays abroad

Although not having anyone to share the sights with is lonely, travelling alone gives you a wonderful sense of freedom. No worries about boring a partner with my love of museums and clothes shops!! People don't really notice you when you're on your own. I think I would be more embarrassed in a singles group as people would be trying to get you to join them at meals etc.I like to be invisible!!

I went to Italy with One Traveller this year. They were very well organised and everything was included. They also "shuffled" people around for dinner each night so that everyone had a chance to get to know others.

Go for it caramac, one great place for your first foray alone would be the santo tomas hotel, santo tomas, menorca, peaceful, safe and very friendly, great place for a book by the pool holiday, no children and no loud music by the pool all day everyday un like some hotels.

I so agree wot sometimes you just want to be alone and appreciate things. caramac if you do book a holiday and don't want to do a singles one you could look at hotels that offer supervised leisure activities. When I used to holiday with my mum who was in her eighties I used these a lot. I played boules, did archery, did a painting session and lots of other things while she just rested. I think joining these things on my own probably helped me take the next step to holidaying on my own.

Just coming back to say it was One Traveller my exh recommends

Poor shanma, it must be difficult to live with yourself being so mean spirited and judgemental. Or do we think she is a Paragon of Virtue and her views will be missed?

GN is great for info on lots of things, I have picked up some really useful tips and links. and nice to have a rant sometimes, especially now we can't get British television so I can't shout at Question Time, it's not the same shouting at the radio.

Happy and Kind New Year Everyone.
