I'm 38. I have been single and not dating for two years. This Summer I have decided I am not going to put my happiness on the back burner and hope to meet someone and have fun. I will do it alone and on my own. I have planned to go to a few resorts alone here and there through the coming Summer.

Since my divorce, they've all been alone.

I took a months tour of the United Kingdom with a tour group that I didn't know a soul. I was able to go where I wanted and see what I wanted . . . just basically do as I pleased but still felt I wasn't totally alone. It was the best! Tours give one all the history of the place their visiting. It was fabulous.
by scubaduba on March 20th, 2008
I have done that before. I enjoyed the vacations, but I would prefer to go with someone. Although, I would prefer to travel alone, than to travel with someone I am not travel compatable with.
by Anonymous on March 20th, 2008
Yes, and I have, though I've never gone somewhere that I didn't know somebody.
by mother earth on November 4th, 2009
Absolutely. I do enjoy vacations with family & friends, but it is nice to be able to do things on my own time. I can allow myself to get distracted by what I enjoy and not have to hurry away to catch up with the others. I can sit when I am tired, and go when I am ready. I do not have to worry if anyone else; left something behind, needs a drink of water, needs to "go", is tired, is not tired, has everything they need, has seen what they want to see...

... yes ... and I have ...
by KissMySunshine - NaNoWriMo-ing on November 4th, 2009
I get very lonely...very easily.
;-;
I'd have to take someone with me.
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on November 4th, 2009
I love that. Its as much fun as going with someone else.
by Jacques on November 4th, 2009
Yes, I've done so on several occasions, it's the best way to understand foreign cultures and meet locals and other travellers.
by machinerat on November 4th, 2009
I'm getting to the point to where I may actually prefer that because when I'm by myself I don't have to look after anybody else. I can't relax on vacation because I have to be the one in charge and make sure that we're both having fun.
by EmmaGlas on November 4th, 2009
Absolutely...I have taken many a vacation alone. Love it, my own itinerary, on my own time..met great people.
by ExactlyTwentyLetters on November 4th, 2009
Sure, why not?
by allyboo on November 4th, 2009
well maybe not cuz somthing could happend ?
by Anonymous on November 4th, 2009
without a doubt i have a lot of specific interest that involve going abroad that i couldn't think of another person to take with me
by sulynn on November 24th, 2008
I think it's fine. My cousin backpacked across Europe alone and met all kinds of people on the way. Years later, they're all still friends! You'd want to be careful and be safe, just like you'd try to be safe whenever you go out at home too. Shoot, you might go on vacation and meet a great guy/gal on your trip!
by C-Bunny Ninja BOC Princess on March 26th, 2008
I was just thinking about it earlier today and I think I could. For the simple fact that my life moves at an incredible pace and not by choice, by nessecity. I would love it.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on March 24th, 2008
I've done that a few times. Doesn't matter to me if I'm alone, a vacation is a vacation :-)
by silhouette on March 22nd, 2008
yes.. especially if you want to do a SOUL SEARCHING...
it would be a great help!
by Gabstar on March 21st, 2008
maybe i might leave home alone, but then join some friends along the way :)
by angie on March 21st, 2008
I told my family & my boyfriend that next year for Christmas no one better buy me any presents cause I'm not getting them any and I'm going on a cruise... BY MYSELF... lol
by C-C. on March 20th, 2008
I didn't go anywhere, but it was a good Easter vacation by myself.
by Drastic on March 20th, 2008
Maybe, if I really wanted to go somewhere but nobody else want to. I might do that this summer.
by brandiE on March 20th, 2008
Every time I go on vacation with my family LOL.
by peterpam on March 20th, 2008
My wife won't let me.
by katie7576 on November 24th, 2008
I don't consider it..i wish for it everyday
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on March 22nd, 2008
Of course...I enjoy being alone. I enjoy the person I am when I am alone.
by LoOoOsE BoY on March 22nd, 2008
no of course not, the other meaning of this word is good company
by - M.C.S. - Dave on March 22nd, 2008
I never really had a real vacation. So if it was to ever happen, I would go in a Heartbeat alone or not.....M.C.S.
by Theby on March 22nd, 2008
I have taken lots of holidays by myself. It is fantastic. You do what you want when you want and make some really good friends.
by coolboy on March 24th, 2008
Yes.
by KayJ on March 21st, 2008
With 3 kids at home, yea I sometimes consider that
by American idle on March 21st, 2008
Yes, I'd love too. It's more fun with family/friends, but maybe just once.....
by FreshApples on March 20th, 2008
that would be a dream!
(im anti-social)
by Ec-nal Licensed Bootie Inspector on March 20th, 2008
I did, in my twenties.
by Smart2 is back! Did you miss me? on March 20th, 2008
Have not only considered it, but have done so.
by meowry on March 21st, 2008
No, it wouldn't be safe. It's always good to have a safety net.
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on March 21st, 2008
I have done so. It was fabulous.
by squarepeg on March 28th, 2008
sure
by Meandmygirls on March 28th, 2008
Actually I would love a little "me" time right now.
by Bsweet. on November 24th, 2008
yes it what i want to do when i get well enough. its what im aiming for, to prove to myself that i can.:)
by Peppermint_Ann on November 24th, 2008
Yes I am considering it now, like right now! lol
by Galeanda on November 24th, 2008
That's not for me at all. I love my husband too much to enjoy a trip, an adventure without him. We do things together and have too much fun.
by Kdmichaels on November 24th, 2008
I love taking vacations alone -- they have been some of my best vacations. I'm around so many people all day, every day, that it's really nice to just get away. I usually drive to my destination if I'm going alone, and the drive usually gives me time to unwind before I get there. Then, I get to choose what I want to do, without having to consider another person's agenda. This year, I vacationed with three other adults and their five children (ages 7 -18). It was fun, but stressful, too, trying to keep everyone happy and taken care of. So, I'm all for taking my vacations alone.
by Ms.A on November 24th, 2008
I did that a few years ago and it was awesome!I rented a beach house and met the best neighbors.One worked the fish docks,his roommate was a chef and their friend was a brewmeister at the local pub.It doesn't get any better than that ;)
by HEYTHERE on November 24th, 2008
It is not boring as long as you remember the reason you went on vacation to begin with-- to get some R&R, see new sights, meet new people, and experience new culture. Traveling to Hawaii alone the last time, I made friends with a couple of the hotel staff and actually volunteered several times to help new arrivals with their luggage. It was a way to meet others without being awkward, and was able to experience my time there more like a native than a typical tourist.
by Sodapop on November 24th, 2008
seems like it would be more enjoyable alone but more boring if you dont make friends easily. be careful if you do go alone, lotta' creeps out there.
by Moon Unit on November 24th, 2008
My friend has just left for a vacation alone. She'll be gone for almost 3 months.
She'll meet people along the way, and make friends, as part of her trip consists of a tour with people of similar age to her.
But she is going solo! It wouldn't be boring, you'd make friends, trust me, even if it wasn't a tour and you went to some beach resort- you'd make friends. Well I know I'd go out there and find some!
And if you were a young adult like my friend, who is 18, you would certainly become more inidivudal and most likely grow up a bit and feel better about being able to take care of yourself, in the process.

Would you go forward with something you are only partially proud of? What if it was a team effort? How would that affect your answer?
