I've traveled pretty extensively around the world. Often the road/plane/boat part was alone, but one makes friends and connections along the way. So, not truly alone. It is hard to fight that instinct to turn and say, "did you see that?" and find there's no one there to share something with. Shared experience is nice, but I'd not have traded some of the moments of solitude either.

I like to travel alone. Last year about this time, I took a road trip in my brand-new Subaru Legacy to spend a week in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I ran out of gas in a construction zone on a state highway about 10 miles from Hot Springs. Got to spend some quality time with an Arkansas State trooper .

Ive road tripped through western Canada on many occassions by myself and amny occassions with a partner. Sometimes its great to travel alone with just your thoughts but other times it`s nice to have a companion to share the trip with too.

I've traveled solo a few times. I went to Amsterdam in 2010 and the Dominican Republic in 2011.

I have done several trips on my own. I spent 2 months in Singapore and during that time I went down to Indonesia. I have also been to Pune India. I had a great time in both places. I would definitely go back to Singapore.

Oh nice. I see you also have a Subaru. I took my just- purchased Crosstrek out west and up into British Columbia. I spent two months in the vast greenness that is Vancouver Island, Oregon, Washington, and Northern California. It was a perfect experience and I will do it again but a travel buddy would improve many of the experiences and probably encourage me to be a little bit braver in some areas; I didn’t hike the Pacific Rim National Park because there was a wolf watch ?

When young I was solo in everythign so all my travels were on my own. Never gave it much htought. Now I hate travelling alone.

I have quite a few memories of traveling and being accused of being dead... I would have loved to have had someone to share all the other experiences with, but I won't forget the journey just because I was alone.

I'm fine either way. I've done a lot of solo travel since my divorce but have also had some nice trips with special ladies. Right after my divorce I found myself in Miami for work and decided to book a last minute cruise. I met the most amazing woman on that trip. We have gotten together once or twice a year ever since. Neither of us can really move so we just get together when we can.

Having a travel buddy is like having a business partner. They'd better be damned good or else it's better to fly solo. Hmmm, sounds like marriage.....

Traveling alone has it advantages you can do what ever you want to do
but is nice to have a buddy too to look out or feel you can discuss options and laugh and joke
I met and made lot of new feinds on the way but nothing like having a buddy whom you know that is there if you need her/him

South Pad?
I prefer to be by myself. I remember once I drove to Big Bend. I came over a hill, not too far west of FW and suddenly felt as if I'd changed planets. All of a sudden, the horizon seemed wider and further. I chased it until it go too dark. Then enjoyed a million stars.

I just did my first solo holiday! You do what you want, you eat where you want. I was gone for 2 weeks, which turned out to be too long for me to be alone. I think a week would have been perfect, and I will do it again in the future.

I have travelled with friends - some felt the need to do every little thing together and that drives me bonkers. I need some alone time! A perfect travel companion for me would have a good balance of time together and time alone.

I ran away from home when I was 17. I drove my Pontiac Tempest 8,000 miles all over the Western U.S., alone for 3-1/2 weeks. I only went home because I ran out of money. It was a great adventure. I fell in love with the West, prompting me some years later to pull up stakes and move out there for two decades. I like traveling alone, but it is fun to share and adventure too. I'm okay with being alone, I kind of like myself and enjoy going where my sense of adventure points me, without a plan or anything. I've been threatening to do a Blue Highways type trip, staying off Interstates and major U.S. highways as much as possible, to see the country, not the Walmartized and McDonaldized version of it.

I've done both. Lately, I want a partner. Maybe it's the partner...maybe it's the age.

When I was in Kansas, my work with public schools took me across the entire state for meetings and in conducting training. When I travelled, I ususally travelled alone and NEVER took a cell phone with me.That time on the road was MY time. I would turn the radio to classical music and enjoy the scenes of the prairie. It was also my time for thinking.

I also took a number of long trips v(1.200 - 1,400 miles) across the country by myself. Although I sometimes got tired, I did not mind either long distance driving or travelling alone.

I don't travel. I get homesick way too quickly.

Most of my travel is solo.
Kyoto, Sapporo, Frankfurt, Leipzig, most of our national parks, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii; all solo.

I'd prefer a like-minded partner, but otherwise I'd rather go alone than in a group just to have someone else there.

LOVE road trips. I'm heading to Arizona at the end of May for my next one.
