Is is sad and pathetic to go on holiday alone?

Original post by Lambert87
Hi all,

Basically I recently split with my long term partner and all our friends were mutual (but their friends first so not really mine anymore).. I don't have any family either.

I'd like to get away in the sun for a week or so, is it sad to go alone? What type of holiday would be the best for someone alone?

Thanks all

That spanking smiley always makes me laugh :rofl:
Not in the slightest. People travel alone all the time for various reasons. Travelling alone is a great way to really connect with yourself on a deeper level, and discover new things.
Only place that's weird to go alone is nightclubs because you actually go to socialize.

I go to the cinema alone a lot if I wanna see a film, if somebody wants to to point their finger and laugh then they can shove their finger up their ar*e and jump off a cliff since they're the ones having to rely on other people to enjoy something that doesn't require other people.

No way! It's going to be great for your head :smile:
To helpful you focus on the opportunity and freedom available to you in solo travel, for reading I suggest travel writers/writers on travel, including: Alain de Botton on travel, Joan Didion Slouching towards Bethlehem, Pico Iyer, and any novels/writers from the country to which you are traveling.

If you're open to meditation, I suggest the headspace app. If you're open to yoga, I suggest the Yoga Studio app.

Take care of yourself :smile:

Not at all! It sounds like a good time to get away and just spend some time with yourself, I'm hoping to go to Croatia backpacking soon and I will probably do that alone... it means you always get to do what/eat where you want :tongue:


Sounds awesome! :h:

I visited Canada and the US on my own last year, and more recently Belgium and Luxembourg.

Hmm, yes. If I saw someone on holiday on their own I would think that you were a sad and pathetic human being, and defiantly avoid you. Don't go. (unless you're 50+) - in which case you should remove yourself from the student room.

I have been on loads of motorcycle road trips on my own. Being on my own means I can do my own thing in my own time.
