Does anyone regularly go on holiday abroad on their own? I'm considering going to benidorm myself, I'm confident enough to do it and happy in my own company if I don't meet people but I'm interested in other people's experiences |

"I have.., I’ve been to Thailand and Cap d’Agde many times on my own, always had a great time.
 "
I've never swung on a holiday, usually go with a group of friends and family but I'm definitely up for going solo and seeing how it goes |

I enjoyed a couple of singles organised holidays through an online company.
Met some nice people and had a great week with good company as my first solo holiday |

I’ve been on holiday alone and will be again. I like my own company and love sunbathing, reading a book with a couple of lovely cocktails in peace and quiet  |

I’m on holiday to Tenerife in Sept on my own .. I enjoy my own company , enjoy a quiet drink , will socialise with randoms if I feel the need , run , walk , excursions all sorts … I’m actually looking forward to it …
OP - Benidorm is awesome too !! Easily a place to go alone , nightlife is so immersive - however my experience was pre Covid :/ |

I love holidaying solo, it's a funny thing that when I am on my own, others tend to approach me, especially other nationalities, more readily than when I am with someone. Very often if I'm sat at a table by myself, others will ask if they can join me. |

I've got some holiday booked for the end of Aug,I wanted to leave the country but couldn't and gave up on that idea and now what?lol
Is there any good places within uk to go solo and have fun?
Solo holidays to Canaries and all that like make sense obviously,but I don't know personally if there's anything happening in the uk so I thought to ask ?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance |

I holiday on my own and never fail to chat to other people. People are generally very engaging with singletons and sitting alone in bars often gets people joining or inviting me to join them xx
Been to Benidorm Benalmadena PDI amongst other places too
Looking at Benalmadena in September and PDI October or November
Love it |

"I’m looking to go to Japan alone when the situations better, never done a solo holiday before but I’m sure I’ll have a great time and meet some different people. "
Japan is cool to do solo because there are so few other "gaijins" it's easy to strike up conversations, especially if you stay in hostels.
Plus Japan is an incredibly safe country. |

Yea I’ve heard it’s very safe  I’d have to try a night in a capsule hotel just for the experience. |

Love holidaying alone. Travelled loads of places and being alone opens all sorts of doors to all sorts of experiences.
Jump in and if you’re only in Spain you can always fly home if you hate it.. .. but Benidorm is great and you won’t have time to be bored |

They're ok, just so long as you aren't claustrophobic!
Try to stay a night in a ryokan too, a traditional Japanese inn that features tatami-matted rooms |

Done a ton of traveling both round the world trips on my Todd, met hundreds of folks been to dozens of their weddings stags etc .. but now in my mid forties I really would prefer a travel partner (woman) as the companionship im feeling is more valuable than the independence now. However if this meant to itchy travel feet don't get exercised then solo it would have to be .. |

Done it in the past and loved it. And would do it again if I became single again. There is something anazingiy freeing in simply fulfilling your own wishes without needing to think about anyone else. Maybe I mean selfish ... |

I've flown around the world a couple of times as well as travelled extensively and much of it alone. But I always find people that I connect with, often share some of the trip and keep in touch - I've had many trips staying with people I've met.
I can't recommend solo travelling enough. It breaks you out of habits, introduces new ideas and experiences, gets you meeting completely different people who you'd not when travelling with others instead. And it can be good for your sex life too  |

Great points (about breaking habits)..
I’ve arranged a day at a vineyard when I’m in Tenerife (in about 3 weeks) , which I never would of done if I was still going with my mate |

I’ve often travelled in my own over the last 10 years (Corfu, Latvia, Barcelona, Berlin, Turkey, Southern Ireland etc) and always find someone to talk to either in the hotel or other people on Fab who might be in the area….. it can be fun but always interested in finding a female travelling companion to share the cost even if we both do our own thing |

Not gone on holiday alone yet but I do mostly everything alone, I enjoy my own company and it feels much more peaceful. Wouldn’t mind a women in my passenger side at times but alone is alright. People get abit annoying at times loll  |

Pre covid I was doing the family hols (with my offspring) and an adult holiday annually (although frequently with another single girl friend.)
Once the offspring are a tad older I plan to go round the world on my own |

I’ve done Dubai, New York, Qatar and a few other places.
Sometimes being on your own is rather nice for some piece and flexibility.
Did Dubai and New York in the same week |

Travelled by myself overseas a fair bit with work … frustrating sometimes , all expenses paid but gets tiresome.
Went to India by myself on holiday when 19.., wouldn’t recommend that …it’s hard work
Otherwise happy to go by myself on hols or in a group I can dip in and out of .. if I feel like doing my own thing

I've been on several holidays on my own. Sometimes on an organised tour China, India, Nepal and sometimes I just have a hotel booking and explore independently. It's up to you if you want to chat to other people or have some relaxation and exploring time alone. Just starting to plan my next trip and thinking about goimg to Jordan this time. |

Your very welcome, I’m certainly not the best travelled but I have been fortunate to visit some very nice places.
