How to take a vacation by myself. by DeterminedSara

"I had a great time traveling to Boston to go to a concert by myself."

How I did it: I found out one of my favorite musicians (John Mayer) was going to be in Boston doing a concert on a Saturday night. I knew I wanted to go but it wasn't until I found second row seats that I made the decision to do it. I booked a plane ticket and a hotel and traveled to Boston on Friday night by myself. I spent the whole weekend in Boston taking the subway, walking around, doing whatever I wanted to do. It was wonderful. The concert was great too!

How I did it: I've gone to Las Vegas, Utah and New Mexico by myself. I booked the trips using online travel sites (different trips at different times). Try to be safe, esp in cities...get a cab if you think the roads are shady at night, etc. Talk to people! In places like Utah, you can usually find families or other singles to hike with in Nat'l parks, etc. Just relax, and enjoy the time to yourself. I first traveled alone 3 years after I was divorced … Read how I did it…

    I’d love to combine my last goal (drive across the USA) with this one. I love exploring and think my home country is a great place to start.

    I *had* given up on this 9 months ago

    and then an opportunity presented itself: a yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico. Perfect for me-time, reflective time. I leave in 5 days!!!

    Not that I don't do this anyways. 9 months ago

    It wouldn’t be huge, but I have always dreamed of going somewhere beachy, getting a great room, and just…aaaahhh, taking a wonderful vacation…no one else around but a few other tourists, no worries, no reservations, no boundaries…just…vacate.

    To nurture my inner introvert... 13 months ago

    I love the idea of going away somewhere, just me and a world of possibilities, with no one else to accommodate. Maybe someday!

    Day Trip 17 months ago

    Not really a vacation, but I took a day trip to Mystic Seaport last week. It was so nice to go alone…I was able to spend an inordinate amount of time in the art exhibits and not worry about boring someone else. :) I was completely blown away by their beautiful collection and figureheads and ship carvings.

    It was a really great treat for myself to make the trip and I’m excited to plan more like it in the future.

    You learn so much about yourself it is hard to explain. Breaking out of one’s comfort zone is so important!

    Untitled 21 months ago

    I’ve done this – I would still prefer to go with someone special – but I don’t think that is going to happen and I am NOT going to sit around waiting. There are just too many places to go, people to meet, things to do to wait
