Being a tourist traveling alone is pretty poor in my opinion. It is much less interesting when you have no one to share the experience with.

That's what they make cameras for. You share the trip with the people you want once you get home. I loved traveling by myself. The two times I traveled with a friend, I found it very unsatisfactory. Too confining, and too restricting. It didn't help that she was a scatterbrain. Screws up your whole schedule, and you don't get to do all the things you wanted to do.

Traveling alone is a luxury for some of us - but it's probably not for everyone. I'm late 50s, widowed, and I think I like traveling alone now more than I like traveling with people (that was not the case when I was young).

I can be up and out touring at the crack of dawn and in bed by 8pm...eat what I want or not at all...spend HOURS in a museum, do totally random things all day long without having to ask, "So what would YOU like to do?"

I love exploring and photography so having the freedom to enjoy that to the fullest is valuable (and I can happily afford the extra expense of not sharing a hotel room!).

I live in a big American city so I feel safer in most other places than I do at home. Headed to the Holy Land soon...can't wait!

I think both have its benefits. Because traveling alone may open one up to meeting new people in the country of destination. :)
