This is defo the way to travel. I left the UK at the age of 23 with a single ticket to Aus and here I am 14 years later having travelled for most of those years from one place to another. I have finally settled in an absolutley beautiful spot in Thailand called Sam Roy Yod (300 peaks) and never want to leave. I have now started a budget travellers resort to cater to people like me!! Hope you don’t think I’m pushing the resort but I just wanted to add my 2 pence. Cheers and all the best

I am a little bit eager because I am currently my first solo trip abroad. I guess you learn to travel by travelling but it is quite inspiring reading such blogs. So many info on the web seems overwhelming but hopefully I will get the best of my trip.

Great blog, keep it up!

Yes, you never quite get back that “first time” fascination again, do you! But every time I travel there are still new things that amaze and fascinate me, so it’s still worth going, of course.

I’m so envious of first-time solo travelers. I remember arriving at Gatwick Airport, in England. It was my first time in Europe. The signs were odd: “way out” instead of “exit,” for instance. When I asked about the train schedule into London, the information person pronounced it, “shed-jool.” Everything was fascinating and I hadn’t even made it out of the airport! And once I did, I felt so accomplished figuring everything out on my own. That first trip overseas instilled a life-long love for travel. And for solo travel. I now write a blog called boldlygosolo.com.

Wow, that sounds like a fantastic trip … nothing like buying a ticket on a whim! Thanks for the comment.

I so agree with the backpack and no reservations philosophy!

I tend to buy the round-trip ticket, and nothing in-between. I wait to see where the road will take me.

My best impromptu trip was when I bought a one-way ticked to Cape Town some years ago, with a vague idea of spending a few months traveling back up Africa. I was gone three years, not only across Africa but across Asia. And being on my own meant I could just roam to my heart’s content!
