Have to agree with LL.Travelling alone isn't a problem at all, and actually you'll meet other people faster and be invited to join in things even faster by others if your on your own!

Guess I better start saving my pennies, then decide where to go. I might well decide to travel alone - could be fun!

livinglarge: Well mixing with locals is big on my agenda ,

no matter where I go ,that is number one . I don't do the laying

on the beach thing although I did have a fab holiday in Turkey

doing just that (sometimes) so that can be nice too ,each to his own .

I am not some sort of armchair anthrpologist , in that I mean I

like to experience the culture first hand and like to travel

to different places ,hence my love for Canada , it is vast ,beautiful and most areas are different . For example NFLD

is so very different not only in micro culture bur macro also.

My trip to India is not exactly planned but that me . I go where
my nose takes me and I wing it.

Of course this holiday (when i can go) is going to be frought
with issues that I haven't encountered ,language being one of

them .Though I was in Turkey ,I was with my boyfriend and six

others ,however this time (India) I will travel on my own ,so it will be interesting .

So in sumary for me the perfect holiday is 1) culture 2) food

3) travelling around .
be a chalange, English is spoken there




That is how I travel myself, no down to the detail itinary for me - going to India in February 2010 but to Goa I believe which is very different even though one country, from what i read and heard from my friend i think I can deal with Goa - i know it will be more fun for me, i am a city girl so huge amounts of poverty and bucket systems wont be too exciting for me and i will be travelling alone as well but to see a friend, very excited. Hope you have fun

Where ever I am, there are always plenty of possibilites for a get away.

The challenge is always to find someone to come with me.

For me, the Greek island of Lesbos (dressed up as a female!)...
prairiewoman: What is your idea of the perfect holiday? Is it time at home? An island vacation? Perhaps an adventure tour?

If you go somewhere what do you do? Crash on a beach with a good book and lots of suntan lotion? Learn about the local culture? Maybe try something new - take up scuba diving, snorkeling or hang gliding?

Any thoughts?

prairiewoman: Livinglarge,

I've never travelled anywhere that English may or may not be spoken. Never mind travelling there on your own. What an adventure!

I'm not one for laying on a beach either. I'd rather be out doing stuff, camera in hand. Not a big shopper other than maybe for a token T-shirt. I would be the one learning to ride an elephant or swimming with the manta rays (depending where I am).Enjoy your trip!


English has become an International Language, I have Traveled quite alot, and believe me, this is no problem at all!
ENJOYcheering
