Solo Trip---should I?

[MdmMim]

depends on your mindset. I'm a loner so I'm so used to being alone, so it's fun to me. If you can, see it as an opportunity to be WITH yourself instead of by yourself. Everyone should have alone time(many hours to days).

I have no problem being alone either, and I love my solo trips. But--they are not for everyone--I truly believe this. Some people may be lonely, miss their family, etc.

I savor every second of the time I have to myself to go off and do what I want, or to just be alone with my thoughts while relaxing. I don't need others to entertain me or keep me company. I need some solo time every now and then.

Deffinately do it! I am. My first solo trip will be next Feb. I'll be with people for 4 days and then by myself for the next 4. Last time I went I got annoyed that I felt rushed when I wanted to take pictures. I found that the times I went off on my own I really enjoyed myself. I havn't done a TS by myself but If the food is good and I'm thinking about my day, I can't imagine I'll feel strange at all. I'm looking forward to doing some of the things I havn't been able to get a group to do, like tours and shows. I'll be doing a couple tours and La Nouba which I've never seen before. And taking lots and lots of picures, I may even lug my tripod around! And nobody will be there to roll their eyes at me and stare at their watch while I set up a shot!

I'm pretty shy and I found it didn't bother me that people didn't talk with me, and when they did they were kids or adults asking about my pins, which was a guaranteed conversation starter.

I have been on 2 solo trips. I tried not to think about the fact that I was alone and just had a great time. If I did start to feel a little lonely I would witness a "meltdown" and smile and say I"m glad I'm alone!
