Solo travel is magical to me. The whole part about being able to make every choice about what to do without worry of other people’s wants and needs is special.
Amen, my friend!!
So agree...
Right on!
Solo travel is scary for a woman. In the last year I have started writing a blog. I have also been on a solo cruise during that time. Carrying around that journal made all the difference. I guess it was my companion. I could people watch, listen to music, eat and view the scenery...and write. Yes, there were times I felt alone-alone but I could write about that too. AND I was able to do the excursions I wanted to, just as you described.
This is an experience I am planning on repeating.
For single women of all ages (I am 69), solo travel is an exercise. You can stretch those travel muscles and become stronger for it. Ooh, I think I will go write about that.
Thanks for your video.
Thank YOU for this comment!
I like that - solo travel is an exercise. Good insight....
Yup, been doing this for a few years, I greatly enjoy it, and so does my large security-breed dog😄
I love writing in a journal while I travel. People seem to respect your space or assume you’re a critic!
Last year I took a trip to the city where I had graduated from university in 1977. I hadn't been back since then but I wanted to see the place one more time. My hotel was 5 minutes from the Art Gallery and it was the highlight of the trip. I had planned to go back the next day to spend time sitting in front of a particular portrait but there was severe flooding and had to cut short the trip. I also went to a restaurant for lunch and took great pleasure in leaving a very generous tip for the young staff who were so attentive and didn't make me feel awkward sitting by myself. A bittersweet trip as my health no longer allows me to travel. I can still see the painting that so inrigued me in my mind.
So glad you were able to take that trip. May it continue to provide you joy.
Great topic Tim! I love going to rock concerts alone, as well as going to see movies in the theater or eating alone in a restaurant. There is something very freeing about not having to take someone else’s preferences into consideration.
Absolutely true and correct! Anywhere I go, I go hard researching where I'm going. I'm 64 female and I started travelling solo for the first time 6 years ago. I travelled solo from Australia, I've been to Vegas twice, Hawaii and New Zealand. I love the uncertainty, the unknown, doing what I want and when. I love the cultures and nature of places, where a few of my friends would just prefer to lay on a beach all day, I love that too, but not all day long when there are more enriching things to experience. The experiences I have had, I would never have had if I was with anyone else. I was very proud of my resilience even though I was nervous as all get out, and I did have some scary moments. I must say though, when I had a layover in LA airport, the customs guy really grilled me about why I suddenly decided to travel at my age (Iwas 58 at thetime), by myself and having no one to visit while there. That was awful, I think he thought I might have become a drug mule in my old age 😅🤦🏼♀️.
Tim, I cried when you said you'd be our first subscriber. It was the way you said it.
I love to travel! I retired early at 62 due to a health issue so traveling isn't a possibility right now. Over the years I've been up the east coast, traveled to Washington State and San Diego, to Mexico a few times, and once to Hawaii. Hopefully I'll be able to travel again soon.
I am very confident and resourceful and have traveled alone all my life. It was fine. But there is something to be said for sharing an experience with others. Now at 69 I am looking to have others make the decisions and engage in group travel.
Here comes those hugs again! You hit on so many wonderful points in this video and made me decide that I’m finally going to go do what I’ve always wanted to do in a trip… alone!You were so in the right profession as an educator. Your videos prove that with every word!
Have fun!
Coming from someone from the small city of North Pole THERE IS NOTHING AT THE ARCTIC CIRCLE, BUT A SIGN including a long ride getting there. 🥴
Thank you for your videos..I enjoy them all..
I especially liked this one because my husband just recently passed away and I couldn’t pin point what my life feels like after being in a relationship for 57 years..
Now I feel independent… make completely my own decisions..and many of the other points you made in your video…thanks Tim👍
My condolences on your loss. 57 years is a lifetime all its own. ❤️
Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband just over a year ago, and a few weeks before a vacation we had planned together, we had only been married 36 years. I went on that trip solo and adjusted it for what I could do. I am so glad I went, because I met people I would not have met and made friends I would not have made if I was with my husband. I still feel the loss, but solo travel has made me more confident in my own abilities and has given the the gift of being able to explore what makes me happy or learn something new that intrest me. I did not realize just how much traveling with my husband was based on what he wanted or could do. I will pray that you can find peace and fulfillment in your life as a solo.
Solo is not for me! I don’t even like to eat at a restaurant by myself. Before my dear husband passed away, we got in our car and spent almost 2 months just traveling throughout the US, from the Pacific to the Atlantic . No plans, just seeing whatever sights we wanted to see. If we wanted to stay in a place we liked a little longer, we did . I cannot imagine ever doing that trip by myself! We even purchased a wooden plaque that read: ‘It doesn’t matter where you go in life, it’s who you have beside you’. I am sorry to disagree with you, Tim. If I want to learn about myself now, I meditate each day and reflect. 🤔
Everyone is made in a unique way. I’m very sorry for your loss. It sounds like the two of you did a wonderful job enjoying the world and each other.
This is really speaking to me! For years, as a single, I’ve traveled with a companion (who let me plan everything!), but my next stop is South Africa. I want to do a safari-the eco/animal friendly kind! And none of my companions want to go. I’m going to do it by myself! Well, I’ll probably do a group tour.
I agree with you that traveling alone allows you to do what you want, when you want and where you want. I also have liked traveling with others to share the experiences…and yes, there’s some give and take involved there! Enjoy your travels and thanks for sharing!
Man, I love this video! As a person who travels solo also it really resonated with me. Thanks for being so positive about Solo travel!
Good topic. Being deaf, I don't like the airport so I backroad a lot. Drive miles from the house and hit a road just because it looks interesting. Love Mom and Pop places. Stop were I want and stay as long as I want.
I am just starting to travel alone. I'm in Canton, GA about 90 south of you. I can drive for 4-6 and be in the Smokies, the beach, Savannah, Charleston, Memphis, Nashville, etc. So that is how I will be testing the waters of solo traveling. If all goes well I will expand. I've always wanted to go to Paris. Please make this a series, including safety, packing, etc. Love your videos!
I’m considering a series. :)
Travelling solo is a dream for me. Someday I will do it. I have made that promise to myself. Congrats on the 1/2 lb. weight loss. That is a validation for the changes you have made in your diet. Keep at it and you will make it to your goal.
You are so right ! I’ve traveled alone in an Rv over the last 10 years. Everytime I come back home I can’t wait to plan the next trip. You only live once. Im 68 years old, and a woman. No excuses, just do whatever you want.
Thank you so much Tim! I have been focusing on the scary, negative aspects of solo travel and almost talked myself out of it. You reminded me of all the positive aspects of travel and why I wanted to go in the first place.
I agree that spending time traveling by yourself is great because of the ability to do just what you want to do. At the same time I do like traveling with others because of the shared memories. My husband and I try to accommodate these desires by separating for a day during travel. We agree to separate - for example, I get to go to museums he isn't interested in and he rents a bike and tour the city. Then we meet up back at the hotel. We do the same when we travel with others. One couple wants to go to a different city we just meet up again at another city. At home each us is free to go alone or with someone else to wherever. We are both going to come home.
Sounds like a great plan!
Great idea!
what I like the most with solo travelling, is the people you meet.
❤😁💟
I’m more of a people you avoid kind of traveler. 🤣
I enjoy when I meet someone and all of a sudden you trip is transformed to a new opportunity and experience. Example meeting someone and you end up having dinner with their family and learn their culture etc. @@TheNewRetiredMe
@@TheNewRetiredMe😂😂😂
I love solo travel. I also love travel with like-minded friends who can go with the flow. I have been to Australia by myself, and even moved permanently to Mexico by myself. It is magical to have to figure out new things, learn a new language, embrace a new culture. I love it.
I have traveled alone a few times but honestly, I prefer someone with me on trips. Luckily my husband and I share the same interests and enjoy the same types of activities. We just like traveling and doing adventures together whether it's near or far. When I say adventures, it could be just a day trip somewhere fairly close - like an hour or two away or even closer than that. I have traveled with my mom and my daughter a few times and just me and a friend.
Love sharing adventures with my hubby. We "solo" together.
That is my dream. My ex made me hate traveling. We always had at least one huge fight on every trip. I hope one day I can enjoy travel with someone, it’s something I’ve wanted my whole life. ❤
This is about the best advice I’ve received in a very long time! I haven’t traveled alone in many years but you have reminded me how refreshing and satisfying it was. Thanks, Tim🤗!
I’m in Yorkshire, UK and I have taken solo trips to London for a couple of nights and loved it. I’ve sat in the Dorchester bar on my own having an expensive cocktail people watching and enjoyed every minute.
My husband and I go away with a single friend occasionally. We all do our own thing during the day then meet up for dinner and drinks. The friend and I will go to the same art gallery together but once there he goes his way and I go mine. Nothing worse than traipsing round looking at pictures that don’t interest you.
I wish I had the courage to travel abroad on my own but don’t think I ever will.
It’s ok. Traveling 50 miles away can be adventure enough!
I’m in the middle of the best of both worlds, a 14 day vacation during which my son and his family joined me for the first four days and I am solo for the remaining 10 days. I love both experiences.
I barely like to travel, let alone solo! But you managed to rope me in with a thought that has NEVER crossed my mind. I love your videos!!!!
Thank you!
I just love this, the whole concept is to open your mind to the options of solo travel. Whether you’ve done it before or not doesn’t matter. It’s being open to the idea of how wonderful it can be. I love how you presented this idea, perhaps realizing that being alone can be delightful, fun and fulfilling. Tim, you are an inspiration, thank you!
I think about solo travels all the time. Listening to this is helping me with my decision to make plans to go do it. 🥰
I love traveling solo. So much to experience.
When I was in Rome I joined a food tour, it was outstanding. That day I also had Gelato for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Love their Gelato and cappuccino.
Get out and enjoy... May head to Lansing, Michigan this week to see capital and ???
I would imagine it is a lot easier to pick a place to eat!
Love this topic Tim! For the first time in my life, I find myself living alone. It is an adventure that gives me ‘time’ to be alone with my Maker. Being a contemplative by nature, it gives me time to be ‘me’ with God. This video made me so happy. You are encouraging others not to be afraid to be alone, without preaching. God bless you!
Love, love, love going solo. Just did 4 days in NYC.
I mostly travel alone. Camping alone in a National Forest, or exploring a city. I love it because I always meet many interesting people and I am on my own schedule.
Since retiring last spring I’ve done two multi-state solo Overlanding trips. It is very challenging, but it really stretches my fears and anxiety and makes me stronger. I’m planning my third trip for the spring now.
Love your solo travel ideas. I’m not there yet but looking so forward to the day when it’s possible. I know women that just love traveling solo and say it’s the best education you just don’t forget. Adore your videos and your chuckles along the way. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. 😊
I can understand the allure. I don't think I'll ever actually do it. The closest I'll get is my Thursday morning photography trips. On Thursday while Heather is working I go wherever I want and do whatever I want. It's always photography LOL When I retire, that will be Monday through Friday. Thanks, Tim!
This is a great video. One of my favorite quotes is, “Magic happens outside your comfort zone” and I’ve found that to be true. First thing when I retired, I went RVing for several months alone. It was a growth experience for me. Thank you for also including a nod to finances. I don’t have deep pockets but that doesn’t preclude me from having travel experiences. This fall I’m going to take a solo train trip on the Ethan Allen Express to Vermont to see the fall foliage. I’ve never taken a long train trip and I’m enamored with the idea.
What a wonderful, thought-provoking video. Thank you, Tim!

I traveled alone though Norway, Sweden and Finland last spring bc my intended partner ended up in the hospital. It was a scary decision but I ended loving it. I agree with your points on solo travel! 🧳
I am married and have kids, and live near a large city. 15 years ago I made the decision to start going to concerts alone, often small venues or bars, often lesser known performers. I've probably seen 15-20 acts with friends and a few with my wife over the last 15 years. I've probably ventured out alone 75 times including a few short festivals during that span of time. Once you pass 30 years of age it gets harder and harder to find a friend that is both able to attend and desires to attend. Then of course there is the friend that backs out at the last minute or forgets to pay you for the ticket. You know the drill. Still it's always more fun to go with a friend or group of friends excited to be there, but that's rare. Never had problems or failed to make it home...with the exception of one evening. We had nothing planned for NYE 2020 before Covid hit. I went to a concert alone, had fun with some random jovial fans, had one too many drinks and ended up sleeping or trying to sleep in a near empty parking garage on a cold night at age 43! Pretty pathetic. Embarrassing. That's not really cool or safe at any age. This was in a large, not-so-safe part of the city. I didn't want to risk driving in that condition on that night or any night. I told my wife I was going to crash at the office, but that was a lie. In conclusion, traveling alone can be a good way to expand your horizons, BUT don't be a fool. Don't get too crazy. Don't press your luck.
OH...Why didn't I stay at a hotel?...good question...NYE, 2AM...good luck.
😅@@Joe-ny2up
I learned to be comfortable with traveling on my own while I was working. My career had me traveling the whole Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Now at 67 and retired, I enjoy group tours occasionally too. There is comfort and safety with them. But traveling on my own is still the most enjoyable 😉
I had a smile on my face the entire video. All my reasons said out loud! Thank you!
💯
Tim, we could be besties! We think alike! Thx so much for this video.
Love this video content! Will be watching this a few more times before I solo travel to Europe in the fall for the first time. As a single woman, now in my 60's I have solo traveled a lot in the USA and find people (my sons especially) frequently think it is strange that I'm ok traveling alone. I love it for all the reasons you mentioned and will also add I have met great people that I may have missed a connection with had I been traveling with friends and/or family.
Thanks Tim! This video came at the perfect time. It help me decide on something I was struggling with.
Glad it was helpful!
This! This is the reason I loved traveling for work back in the day.
I think everyone should go on a solo adventures for few months at least once in they life , and i am sure that many will realize is the best experience they will ever had, and if you a senior even more reason to do it , i am just on a journey on a scooter across the Philippines for the last year and love it ✌✌
🤗🤗🤗
Thank fully my husband and I have shared interests, but he does still look for adrinaline rushes and I prefer some time to sit and admire nature or cultural locations. We’ve learned to allow each other that time and space, I recently visited Cuzco and Manchu Pichu for 10 days so that I could do it all at my own pace. It was a wonderful time. He often takes trips into the Amazon interior, I prefer to stay home at this stage of my life. I enjoy hearing him share about his trips!
I enjoy listening to you but now I’m longing for a cabin and my book. My husband loves photography, but he doesn’t read books. When I want to sit quietly and read, he wants to talk and it’s usually about photography! So much of what you said makes perfect sense to me.
Enjoyed this video😊I, too, love solo travel.
❤ sometimes fron nessececity, sometimes by choise I have experienced both ways of traveling. To me, just let me travel!😊
I've been solo traveler for 15 years and the past 5 years have included a travel trailer. It is great to set up a "base camp" and be able to do day trips to designed spots or just to see what's around the corner. I've never had any safety issues but I am aware of my surroundings. It's a great life but not for everyone.
Hi, Tim! There was a lot to unpack in this video. I love day trips and will be planning several in the upcoming months. Thanks for the encouragement! Have a lovely day, Tim!!
Solo Solo all the Way!!!!
I Loved this video so much watched it twice, will watch again later. I was hanging on every word… Lol, you certainly got my attention when you said: navigating unfamiliar territory and facing challenges contributes yo growth, and you have to step up to the plate and figure it out yourself… Hallelujah!!! Then you know what you are made of and builds confidence.
I went through this travelling during Civid overseas, and our Canadian government implemented the Arrivecan app .. you couldn’t travel without it.. what a hassle for someone like me in their 60’s , not techie well ..I could write book on it. I like to do whatever I want , when I want,,, Have had too many unpleasant experiences with travel buddies no more fir me.
Tim bravo for conveying this to us all in such a well thought out well informed manner.. you must have been an excellent teacher…
Thankyou for sharing .😊
Thank you!
I've been offered $$ to get off an oversold flight but never took it. Maybe next time I will. But I agree about having the thermostat set for my comfort.
Lately everyone seems to be pushing people to do things alone, but for me, growing up without friends to do things with and then spending decades in a bad marriage, I have spent FAR too much time doing things alone. I’d really like to finally get a chance to enjoy something with someone else. 🥺
God bliss you sir! .. much thanks🙏🏻
Good morning Tim. Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I agree with you on everything you said. However, personally, I would do it a bit different. Maybe because I'm a woman, senior and never traveled alone to a completely different place without having family members be on the other side of my destination. I would like to go with at least one person to get a feel of the culture if it's outside of USA, get a feel of the environment, and so forth. Then, I would go solo knowing what to expect. Thanks for the suggestions. I love to travel even if it's within the USA. It's fun and adventurous.
That’s a great plan!
Thank you so much from Sydney Australia
Melbourne here!
Wow, Tim! Amen! I think this may be my all time favorite video of yours....and I'm a big fan. Really needed this. Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome!
For my 50 th birthday present I wished a solo travel to the north of India. Even though I could have gone with my husband (who wouldn’t have enjoyed India) or one or two of my grown up children. I wanted to take the benefit of doing exactly what I wanted. A highlight of my life.
My older daughter has been a solo traveler for many years and has loved it, even with all its ups and downs. However, she did not get the adventure gene from me. I rarely travel anywhere anymore, other than a yearly plane trip with my adventurous daughter, to visit my mom in Albuquerque. I’ve gradually let fear make my decisions, which really bothers me and I am currently working on it. This (wonderful) daughter now lives in Glasgow with her husband and really wants me to visit so she sent me a gift card for an afternoon tea touring either Glasgow or Edinburgh on a big red bus. I’m really looking forward to it, however, I just have to figure out how to get over being anxious about flying a longer distance than ever before, over a large body of water, and possibly at night 😳. You don’t seem to have any flying issues but if you have any suggestions, I would love to know any tips and tricks- I’m collecting them! 🤓
Great video, Tim. Thank you for the encouragement!
Great advices, thank you for sharing
Just ran into your channel...directly hit the bell (:
I far away from retirement, but someday, I will for sure. So listening to someone like you is very beneficial. Like the way you talk and being so natural in front of the camera. I have start (re)learning English and your channel contains not only interesting topics, I use it also for leaning English ( I can't learn a language the classic way, I chose watching TH-cam videos instead 🤗). So keep on the great work, I am your latest newest follower 🥳
Welcome aboard!
I loved this video! Food for thought!
very well said .. so true thank you
I hope you'll be journaling on your trip. Buy a piece of art as well. My sister traveled the world on her own and the friends she met are still in contact with her. She has some wonderful pieces of art that she collected along the way. My favourite the aboriginal one and her pieces are on the walls of her home to remind her of her trips all those years ago.
I traveled alone enough when I was working. The first time I was in Italy, I decided to go to Rome by myself for the weekend. As soon as I got off the train, a local guy sidled up to me. I was able to get away from him without incident. I went on a tour of the Vatican, and while waiting in line, a group of U.S. military members told me I shouldn’t be there alone. (You’d think they could protect me!) Finally, I tried going to a restaurant by myself. They insisted on seating me with an American couple, even though I told them I was fine eating alone. Bet they were thrilled they picked that restaurant! I was glad I went, but I would much rather travel with other people. To each his own!
Love this topic. ❤
Good job!!! You are great to watch. Thanks.
💯
Tim, you're the best. Tkx!
😊
You are so right on your points on travelling alone.
I have experienced many trips alone in the last few years and I enjoyed them very much, only myself to worry about. Thanks for the subject matter.
After having traveled for several weeks with a friend last year - I knew it was time this year for me to have a sabbatical and travel solo. Love all these points.
Great video! Congratulations on the weight loss🎉
I hadn't flown in years, and last year finally scheduled a solo small trip. The most important things I found out were: (1) No matter how much research you do, something will surprise you; (2) you can meet some very nice people who will help you if you're lost; and (3) I don't want to be tethered to a rolling bag, so I'm on the search for a lightweight rolling backpack. 😂
Good advices, but my reality is more family oriented mostly even though I’m divorced since my 40’s and started to travel with my friends 😊
New here!! Excellant advice.
Welcome!
I love solo travel.
I couldn't agree with you more. Solo travel is great.
I'm learning to do this in my regular day to day life and making it my life. Not accommodating or prioritizing others need.
Even with 15 people I think your trip will be great because you are going in with the right mindset. Enjoy! I like the "You win every argument" line LOL!
I'm inspired to consider it. Even if it's checking out more local tourist spots. 😊 The money would decide lol Congrats on the half pound too.
💚💛🧡
I really enjoyed this video. I love to travel and take 3-6 weeks away every year. I prefer to drive if it is not more than 16 hrs. While many times I travel alone I enjoy traveling with friends or family for at least part of the time. My husband and I traveled throughout the UK and Europe in 1968 via train and bicycles for 8 weeks. We spent 1 week in Poland when it was behind the iron curtain and stayed with a great aunt. He has been gone 14 years and I really miss traveling with him. The most memorable trips have been with family. My daughter was married in Costa Rica. 32 people came to the wedding and we all stayed for a week. She planned the itinerary but we chose if we wanted to do it. I passed on the zipline and repelling down a waterfall, but chose to horseback ride to the volcano on my own. My son in the same year was married in the Bahamas and again a large number of people attended for the week. He and his fiancé paid for a wine and cheese cruise on a sailboat for just our group and then dinner afterward. I lucked out with 3 kids who all paid for their own weddings and most of their college education. Another fun time was spending Christmas on Kauai with my daughter and her in-laws. They rented a house for the 13 of us. I am very flexible and like going along with what others choose. Now I travel with my college roommate who is also a widow. In 2022 we took an Alaska cruise and last year we spent 12 days in HI and 8 in WI. Next week it will be FL alone and this spring it will be AZ with my friend.
I don't mind traveling alone, however, trips I've taken require the "group" dine together, leaving me to be the "odd" person being seated with strangers. The problem there is, people trying to be friendly and asking to many questions to break the ice. Where you from, why are you traveling alone, etc. I've recently lost my son, I'm very uncomfortable continually telling my story... I want to be alone!
Agree 100%.
😊
Traveling solo has its benefits, but I prefer to travel with a trustworthy and compatible companion. As a woman I think about my safety first.The coin has two sides, and anything can happen. This includes getting food poisoning, being harassed by beggars, and getting lost in the wrong place. Some experiences are more fun when they are shared.
Watching from a chicken bus in Belize!
Awesome!!!
1/2 lb is a step forward- good for you!
Thanks for this information. Do you also have tips for finding lodging accommodations?
Coming Tuesday. Well, sort of.
😊
I'm actually planning a road trip to Boston to visit my son and daughter-in-law this spring! I've been solo for decades, so traveling alone is nothing new BUT I typically fly when going long distances (they used to live on the west coast but moved to Boston last year). However, I'm not getting any younger and I have decided to drive (I live in KC) this time. Also have a friend in NC that I think I'll stop by and visit on my way home. I will definitely think about recording my travel. What kind of camera would you suggest? I have my android phone of course but would that be enough? I'm thinking maybe a dash cam of some sort?
I have a dash phone holder for my phone. I find I can turn my phone horizontal and get great shots.
NC is beautiful in the spring, enjoy your adventure.
We discovered it is hard traveling with another couple. No more of that.
It seems today is not like yesterday. You can’t just hit the road for fun when safety is unknown in this crazy world.
Safety has always been uncertain. Don’t let fear hold you back. And examine whether your fears are realistic. The true risks can almost always be mitigated.
Hello Tim, I can understand the freedom and convenience of solo travel, but don't you sometimes feel like "I'm tired of life's challenges, I'm tired of all the self development work. Sometimes I just want to ride and let someone else drive."?
LOL. That’s when I stay home. :)
Tim, just curious- if you weren't blogging, vlogging & uploading, would you still feel the same way?
Yes. I’ve always been this way. :)
😂❤
