Anybody ever go on a vacation solo? * 1
    #26470987 - 02/05/20 07:43 PM (4 years, 11 days ago)

Trips are hard to organize. Especially when everyone has families. Differing job schedules. Etc. Or you make it to said vacation destination and then the friends/family you're there with have different things they want to do that may be different than yours. Different places they want to eat. Stuff like that.

I've always wanted to take a vacation on my own -- go entirely on my own schedule and see the sights I want to see. Do the things I want to do when I want to do them (I probably sound a little selfish right now lol). But I've read some different articles on the subject that said once you get comfortable with it, solo adventuring in new places you've never been to can be really quite amazing.

I've never dove in and done it, though. I may soon however.

Have any of you guys/gals went on any vacations completely on your own?  And if you have would you mind sharing your story(s) and experiences?

Ya all the time.

It's not for everyone. I'd say the biggest thing is if you can be comfortable eating meals alone in restaurants and shit. It doesn't bug me, but it might some people.

It's kind of nice because you can set your own pace for activities. Like I only like doing one or two things a day and not rushing between each event or site or whatever. I wouldn't want all my vacations to be solo, but if you've got no one to go with it ain't so bad.

I've gone to basketball games solo, gone to europe twice solo and probably a couple other ones that aren't coming to mind right away.

That's awesome, man. You just motivated me even more. I got some vacation days I need to burn soon and I think I'm going to go somewhere.

Sure. Most of my vacations are solo. Some of them have been amazing, but it can also be lonely. If anything’s off in you’re life, it’ll come up.

A few months ago I spent a few weeks in Mexico holed up in an Airbnb depressed, popping provigil and rethinking my life. Shitty vacation, but it was needed.

Wherever you go, make sure there are specific things you want to do or see, and if you get lonely, find a hostel, even if you’re already staying somewhere else. It’s usually a pretty lighthearted party environment.

Yup. Just took a vacation in December of last year to Las Vegas all by myself.

Heres a couple pics:

The best thing about travelling by yourself is having full freedom to do whatever you want, see whatever you want, on your schedule.

The worst things are it might get lonely and you might be a target for scammers/thieves/criminals. But other than that, its allllll goood.

I've been meaning to try it and do it on the regular, but never really have. I think I'd be great at solo vacations and would probably love them, but for some reason I never end up doing any. One day I'd like to though. What I'd really like to do is camping and hiking trips solo.

I don't know why I never have exactly, maybe just because it seems so weird conceptually. But I bet once you get over the initial hesitation it would be really awesome. I think I'd probably like a lot of stuff better solo.

U have to be comfortable being by yourself first to even want to take a vacation by yourself.

Ive been wanting to camp by myself, but Im paranoid of dying from wild predators or crazy murderous rednecks. Fear is a shitty emotion sometimes.

Yup, I do all kinds of stuff alone. I go to the movies, eat, bar hop, camp, and even go on vacations alone. I like it for the most part. Sometimes I go alone and sometimes my wife goes alone, but usually we go together because it just works better that way and we like to do most of the same stuff. Sometimes we go on vacation together and then go our separate ways for part of the trip too.

It's nice to just be free and do whatever you want to do and go where you want. If you're really introverted like me then it can be lonely sometimes.  If I end up getting lonely then I just go out for a coffee or drink and say hello to people and ask if they are also on vacation.

Where do you plan on going? If you go to the West Coast then we would meet up with you for a day or two if you wanted some company.

Nice I've never gone to Vegas by myself for the whole time but i've been there a day before everyone showed up and stuff. Won 500 bucks playing black jack and wandered around doing whatever I felt was fun. Mostly lookin at all the pretty girls all dressed up wandering the strip. Good times.

I'm a person that will wander off and go on solo adventures all the time wether it be at festivals or vacations. Sometimes I don't want to be tied to the group so i'll go wander around and do something fun.

Yup, thats the best past time when youre alone on vacations, go wander around! :lol:

Nice score on the Blackjack table. I almost played but i had so little money on the trip, i descided to just do some slots instead.

Note to self: Bring more money for Blackjack table on next Vegas trip.....

I would like to travel more by myself but its spendy. Gotta be picky about my solo vacations....

I have been backpacking by myself a few times, you meet people on the road, hang out a bit and when you want to go see different things you split up and no hard feelings. I prefer to make my own itinerary. I am planning on doing some van travel across North America soon by myself

I was so broke on the trip myself as well. I actually went down 200 bucks and i was like fuck i'm so screwed now :lol:

But decided to play again and went on a fat run. Gave me a lot more money for the trip.

Was a good time man it was for me and my best friends 21st birthdays.

I plan on doing my first solo camp this spring.

And while I too share your fear of the murderous redneck who lives off the grid and has an insatiable thirst for weekend warrior blood (and has a mass grave in the middle of the woods), I saw some actual statistics of hiker/camping crimes (assaults, rapes, murders) and it's really all in our minds. You have like an infinitely higher chance of dying on the way to the trail in your car than you have on the trail itself.

But yes it has in extremely rare circumstances happened -- the story I remember the most is not all that long ago, and there was a serial killer in Australia who specifically targeted hikers and campers in the Outback. Not an urban legend, either.

This however is though (I'll paraphrase):

There's a story that has circulated for some time in different variations (but basically the same) where this girl goes on a solo hike for a few days. She bumps into a really creepy hiker early on that made the hair on her neck stand up. But outside of being creeped out, nothing happened. She went on with her hike and had a great few days in the woods. On her final night she's flipping through her camera when she sees a handful of photos...of her. Sleeping inside the tent.

Before I knew it was an urban legend I had come across a version of this (that was passed off as legit) that had me on the edge of my seat just reading it. But then later on I found out that it's nothing more than a popular campfire story.

Kind of like the camping version of the LSD urban legend of the guy who fell into the pool with a sheet in his pocket and thought he was a glass of orange juice the rest of his life.

I've mentioned this here before but one trip I'd like to make is the 8 hour drive to Wamego (Kansas) to do the Pickard missile silo tour.

Supposedly the owners did tours by appointment years ago. Thing is I don't even know if they still own it, or do the tours, and if they did how does one even get a hold of them

I haven't. I'd like to, though. Looks like I'm spending at least some of my vacation time on a wedding in NC next fall. Might just take all of it and do some diving off the coast while I'm down there.


I'd love to solo camp, but honestly even just being in a house in rural areas alone(like even if there are other people there, but I'm the only one still up) kind of freaks me out a little. I think I'd probably have a rough time alone in the wilderness :lol:.

I'm struggling with just the thought of it myself. I've picked out a rural area of woods where I'll be the only soul around, and when darkness falls out there...well, it'll probably be a long night. I'm not sure what to do to keep my mind occupied at night. Maybe read I guess.

I wouldn't have a problem solo camping at an actual campground around other campers but in this case I'm going to be the only one around. Well me and the animals.

If u believe in Bigfoot, bring some gifts and leave around your campsite. Suitable gifts are marbles, stuffed animals, trinkets, small pieces of art. If youre luckily, Bigfoot might leave a gift for ya :awesome:

That's still awesome though, I'd like to face that fear myself one day. I think the key is to go on a really long ass hike during the day, and really wear yourself out so that by night time you're just too tired to be scared.
