Traveling Single

Doesn’t mean solo!

Do you think you can’t take the trip you want to take or see the sights you want to see - because you don’t have anyone to go with?

Do you think it would easier to go if you had a partner or were married?
Then you could plan together, enjoy the same activities, sights, and adventures - feeling connected - day and night - day after day - place after place, sight after sight.

Did you forget that:
Not everyone has the same energy level, likes the same things, or appreciates the same adventures,
Not everyone solves problems and processes information using good communication skills,
Everyone wants what they want and wants it their way?
So much for easy planning!

Planning might mean:
Finding a travel agent,
Using the web,
Getting into a group that wants to be on the same trip,
Going with different tours on the same trip,
Figuring out what you want to do, how much time you have, and how much money you want to spend.

When you get there -you’ll find other tourists.
They are from all parts of the world, they are all ages, and they have different reasons for being there.
They are traveling in different ways and have different budgets.
Some of them are also traveling single - they probably want to meet you - if you let them.

It’s a time to test yourself - to reach out, to learn, to solve problems - to make new friends.

For years I wanted to go on safari- my dream trip and #1 on my bucket list.
Some of my friends said they would go - so I got my vaccinations and waited for final commitments.
I guess it wasn’t their dream trip so after three years - I decided to go single.

I was pretty frightened - South Africa - 13 hours from anyone I knew in America or Europe - wild animals and a different culture. But- I needed to see the cats - the big cats!
It was an amazing adventure and gave me a renewed sense of self and power – so
I went to Buenos Aries to dance the tango - and
Just come back from Peru where I climbed in Machu Piccu and hiked in the Amazon.

Although I went on these trips single - I was not alone!

Remember:
When you travel single -
You only have to take care of - your wants, needs, and feelings,
You're only responsible for yourself,
You can reach out and meet people wherever you go,
You can learn from other people, share with other people, and go in and out of groups,
The people you meet want to be on the trip,
You don't have to negotiate anyone - because

Traveling single -is all about you!!!
