Last month’s poll told a tale of travel-savvy women in favour of budget airlines and their cheap, frill-free flights, but what about boarding that plane on your own and setting off on a solo voyage?
I’ve made many plans to travel alone, usually because there was no one available (or willing!) to go with me, but to date I’ve yet to make a solo voyage. At the eleventh hour, someone always seemed to step forward and volunteer themselves as a contender for travel companion of the year, convincing me that travelling with them would be much more fun than going by myself.
Family and friends were usually relieved, telling me that they wouldn’t have to worry about me so much. As it turned out, my companions would cause me far more worry than any aspect of travelling alone ever could. Friends I’d known for years suddenly metamorphosed into hideous creatures that I never imagined were lurking beneath their amiable exteriors.
So, would a solo voyage be exciting for you? Perhaps you’re a well seasoned solo traveller that loves the freedom it gives you and you wouldn’t travel any other way. Or maybe you’d be lost with nobody to share the sights and sounds with, and find the thought of going it alone simply too frightening!
