re: Recommend me some places to travel alone.

I'm in the same boat... Gotta use 5 vacation days before the end of March or I lose em.

Someone mentioned going to Hawaii solo which I thought was interesting.

Any thoughts on a Hawaii solo trip?

I had a car and a tent and spent a couple weeks solo in Hawaii last year. Went in Feb and weather was great. Did Oahu and Kauai. Plenty of stuff to do on both islands. I'd prolly do Mauai or Big Island instead of Oahu if I had the time, just was easier since had to fly into Honolulu anyways.

I've done a bunch of trips by myself over the years. Hostelled mostly which I prolly wouldn't do as much now but always had a blast and met some interesting people that I'm still friends with today. Once you get over the initial barrier it's pretty easy and even preferred unless you're traveling with the right person. For the first trip Belize is pretty easy. English speaking, good time of the year right now. San Ignacio is a really neat place a lot of people skip over. Can hit one of the islands after that. Much prefer Caye Caulker over Ambergris Caye, and if you're not scuba certified it's relatively cheap to do

Learn to ride a motorcycle and take big road trips. The trips I have taken on my bikes are some of the best moments of my life. You meet a lot of interesting people and feel like you see a lot more than any car road trip.

Washington DC sounds like a good idea, and I'd add New York City also. You can just wander around the city for days sightseeing, probably get more done being solo. Check out a game or watch one from a local bar.

I've been to some of the exact same places by myself and with family at different times. Hawaii, Washington D.C., San Francisco, New Orleans, Miami, and St. Louis are a few examples.

I like the National Parks and Washington D.C. recommendations, but really pretty much anything outside a purely family oriented venue is going to be good; we're eclectic as a society so you can feel at home solo just about anywhere.

Just think of it as a way to supplement your family trips and what I usually do is try and do things that I like to do but would not get to do if it was a family trip. I usually do a lot of walking or biking that I'm not going to do if it was a family vacation. Or engage in an activity like fishing which I'm not going to get to do on a family trip. Basically enjoy the freedom you have to decide to do what it is you want to do and believe me people aren't going to pay much attention as to why you are traveling alone: There will be many people traveling who will be just like you.

The main thing I've noticed when traveling alone is I'll go on the cheap and eat cheap and stay at cheap places that I'd never do with family. That way you can save your money to explore the sites and spend it on other things relating to your trip.

What are the best places?

Going on a cruise alone this April. Flying to Orlando to get on the ship in port canaveral, goes to two spots in the Bahamas and then back to port canaveral. It's only a 4 day cruise but I can't wait to get away and relax by the pool drinking and just take it easy
