I can't tell you how many of my own trips were enjoyed without a travel companion. Sometimes the result of a chaotic work schedule, other times it was a simple matter of making travel a priority when others wouldn't.
Obvious highlights can include unlimited time spent doing whatever it is you want to do and not a moment wasted on anything you don't! Sounds a bit selfish, perhaps, but let's just roll with it as a benefit in this forum category.
On the flip side, it can be a bit disconcerting when the unexpected pops up. Not having a trusted companion can be unsettling or even lonely when no one speaks your language.
Lastly, the world of travel can seem like it's built for double-occupancy. Outside of a seat on a plane, everything from cruise cabins to hotel beds seem like they're made for two, especially the rates.
What I'd like to foster here in the Travel Forum is a shared sense of adventure, with some practical advice centered on safety and comfort.
