I totally agree. There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. I wrote a post on this topic: "<a href="http://solotravelerblog.com/travel-alone-not-lonely/" rel="nofollow">What is lonely? And why don’t I feel so when I travel alone?</a>" Hi Lori, Many thanks for your thoughtful comment. I totally agree. There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely.

It is not my place to judge her, but I see the situation in many couples: there are two persons (for social conveniences, because it is easier this way to pay for everything etc.) but each one of those two members of the couple is indeed alone. And this loneliness is worst because they don't even try to give themselves the chance to find that perfect person for them. Coming back to your article I must admit that I think that lonely is also a state of mind. And I don't see it at you :) I truly hope you dreams will come true sooner rather than later and of course I hope to always find interesting info regarding solo traveling :) So in the end, all that matters is for each to have a perfect day - and that I wish it to you too: for each day to be simply perfect!

Right now I'm not planning to RV on Valentines Day, but if I were, I would be saying, "I can travel solo!" Solo or partnered, neither is better than the other. Each has advantages and disadvantages. It's just a lifestyle choice, nothing more. I like JoAnna’s comment. Right now I’m not planning to RV on Valentines Day, but if I were, I would be saying, “I can travel solo!”

I recently connected with an old flame (after a 47 year hiatus). It's one of the joys of traveling. You never know who or what is around the next bend in the road. Have a great day.

While traveling solo can be rewarding, and in many cases, a choice we make because we enjoy it so much, I understand and appreciate the desire to travel with other people. I think your post about Valentine's Day as a solo travel shows an important side to the solo traveler: Sometimes we do it out of necessity and many times we make the choice to do it, but that doesn't mean don't want a little company every now and again. I'm looking forward to reading your post about your wine and dine V-day evening. Have fun!

I like to read 'confessions', it gives a personal touch that always moves me. Because behind every story, there is a person. I feel very close to you: traveling solo many times, but wishing not to be so solo in my everyday life. And in the recent years, even when I was in a relationship I always kept some time and space for myself and my passions. Because I'm pretty convinced that love is not about sharing everything. There's a time for sharing, and a time to do things separately. It's incredibly enriching. Coming to Valentines, I will do as I always did: normal life, cause it's a normal day. I don't like things that are imposed from outside, and even less when they are clearly based on commercial purposes and social tags. Valentine? No thanks. When I love someone every day is special.
