    Totally agree with you, I came out to Tenerife for the first time on my own in 2021, it was amazing I could do what I want when I want. I met some lovely people who I’m still in contact with. I’m booked to come solo again next year. I can’t wait 😊

    Sneaked off to Algarve when Portugal went on the green list during pandemic. Literally on for 2 weeks then back to red!
    Partner didn’t want to risk travelling so I went on my tod.
    Only felt a little strange when heading out for dinner and asking for a table for one. However on the plus, you only pay for a bill for one 😀
    Had a great time though and doing what you want, when you want etc does really allow you to relax and enjoy your own company.
    Still nicer having my partner’s company but I wouldn’t hesitate travelling solo again.

      thanks guys, intros look great and add to branding etc but from all my research they reduce retention rates ie people get fed up watching them and skip them after they have seen them lots of times so in theory can reduce the ad revenue per video. I might do a channel trailer on home page.
