Holidaying alone

[Maxf]

It's looking like I'm going to be holidaying on my own this year, which is something I've never done before.

I'm 33 so I suppose not really in either the typical 'travelling' or Solos holiday camp.

I quite fancy America, Cuba or maybe Thailand (depending if the troubles sort themselves out). I certainly don't want to be anywhere couple orientated, nor do I want to be on some kind of 18-30s trip - just somewhere I might meet some likeminded people, have a bit of fun and see some new stuff.

I'm not very well travelled at all, and dont mind admitting I'm finding it a little daunting.

Any suggestions of places to go, or maybe companies to go through?

My brother used www.intrepidtravel.com to do China this year and Loas,Vietnam,Cambodia and Thailand a few years ago by himself, both times he was the youngest (25) and the oldest was a guy in his 60's.

Seeing as this is PH why don't you combine a holiday with a trip to a GP? Hungary and Brazil look the best options for a combined holiday/GP of the forthcoming events.

Thailand gets my vote.

There are always plenty of nice people around, and there is always something for you to do.

I don't think it would get mine at the moment!

In thailand i'm sure you'll be made to feel most welcome (e.g I think I had more converstation in bars with bar maids than I did my friends when there)

Not sure if a GP is as enjoyable on your own, although you could probably easily meet some like minded people.

If it was me I'd be in the car, over to France, circle a few places on the map and go exploring, but thats just me.

Fly to Thailand (transiting through BKK is fine), fly south to the islands - plenty to do, paradise islands.

I'd go tomorrow if I could afford it, the trouble is in Bangkok city centre and up north.

Go to Rio De Janerio and have a blast.

How about a tall ship holiday?

A challenging adventure, visit different countries en-route, something different and with a crew of like minded solo travellers.

It's not loafing around a beach but you'll have great fun.

On one of these for example:
