Traveling alone

But at night it sucks getting food to go and eating in the room

I'm sure there were many people to talk to at the bars. Is this a joke? At the very worst you could have eaten at restaurants and people watched!

Anyone done it?

A bunch of times. If I was out of town for work, I'd often extend my trip a couple of days to sightsee.

You can't eat at the restaurant? Just go to the bar...

I've done it plenty.

Went to Vegas a couple times alone (that way, the shite really stays in Vegas ). Had a great time. Met chicks. Met people. Did stuff. Ate in restaurants and people watched.

Also went to Europe twice alone, but I went on an organized tour, so I was with 40 other people on a bus. But, I could go with other people whom I befriended, or go off by myself. Met some great people on these trips, some of whom I'm still friends with.

One thing, though. I haven't done this since the advent of universal smart phone usage. I'm talking U.S., because in Europe, most Americans aren't willing to cough up the money for constant internet access on their phones. I imagine if you are sitting at a bar, you and everyone else are staring at those infernal smart phones.

In short, do it.

I always do, on this last trip an Icelandic chick wondered what I was putting in my mouth and I told her it was smokeless tobacco and ask her if she wanted to try it and she did. She really liked it so I gave her a couple of cans that she guarded closely.

Turks and Caicos I hung out with a couple of Norwegian chicks for a few days. Thailand and Cambodia I met one couple form South Africa and one from India/Britain that I spent some time hanging out with. You can of course do all of this with another person along, but I like the freedom to do what I want when I want.

Told a friend yesterday that knowing what I know now having traveled a decent amount, if I was single I would motor bike through Vietnam.

I have heard great things from many people, but don't think my wife would want to do that.

Wow

U taught a girl how to dip?


That's disgusting and mean

Did u tell her about the joys of cancer

Going to Spain in a month for 3 weeks alone.

First time traveling alone. Excited

I used to have to travel for work alone back in my single days and since I was going to some cool places I would spend the weekend traveling alone and sightseeing. I went to several MLB stadiums by myself, actually caught a Cleveland Indians playoff game alone.
It was actually kind of nice sometimes depending on what I was missing at home.

Life begins outside your comfort zone

I travel for work alone a good bit, but my favorite trip I've ever taken was by myself to NYC for a week at Christmas time 2015, it was amazing, and I highly encourage people to travel alone - even if only once - to get out of your comfort zone and experience the world, plus, you get to do whatever you want, when you want! Talk to a stranger, you'll very rarely regret it.
