Holidaying/Tripping alone

Topics

Do you do it? Have you done it?

I'm thinking of booking a last minute snowboarding trip for next month. Trouble is I'll be going by myself. Most of my friends are too "tied down" to go on trips anymore, so it's just me.

It'll be a package deal, so I'm sure I'll meet people along the way - what with my award winning personality in all. But would you do it?

Since returning from Korea, I've slowly started to realise that most of my friends are all heading into the "settling down" stages of life, whereas I'm not even close to that point.

The trip will be for a week in Bansko, Bulgaria. I'm just a little concerned about getting a little bored and lonely - I wouldn't be on the slopes everyday.

Decisions, decisions.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you.

This year I booked a swingers cruise, but when I turned up alone I was disembarked far too quickly! I don't recommend it.

I am planning a lengthy trip away in about 18 months, going alone and just going to 'wing it'.

Don't even question it, get it booked!!!!!

I've been on holiday alone and I had a great time. I'd do it again too

I would do it. I'd much rather have someone to go with BUT if it's the only way you're going to get to go then just do it. You'll regret it if you don't.

Take EC with you. You can snowboard by day and swing by night. Win win!

Never again.

Suppose the moral is chose the former and not the latter.

I'm still trying to work out if your post refers to holidaying alone or swinging!

I agree with Velvet. The former is fine. I used to inter-rail all over Europe. One always met someone of interest.
The latter is not recommended. When the terrace houses opposite your student squat seem to have eyes and then dance and sway from side to side you really need someone to reassure you.

Turns out gay men regressed find out they were female in previous lives
