Yup! You have the right attitude. I checked out your blog. You have got around. I toured in my youth and hope to get back on a bike for a trip in 2010.

I’ve always traveled solo since my twenties. Now I’m 54. Still traveling solo and still staying in hostels. part of traveling is meeting other travelers along the way. Age is meaningless.

I love solo travel. It was very scary at first but I just tried and I love it. I did my solo travel the first time to Mexico City when I was 45, it’s fantastic, after that I did it again to Puerto Rico, Ocean City.

I’d like to echo Tracy Barnett’s comment. I took off from Kentucky a few years ago to buy donuts in Canada. I wound up staying in Toronto for nine days and meeting some outstanding people that I probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to talk to had I been traveling with someone. I look forward to turning 50 (my son will be 20 then!) so I can hit the road and have those kinds of experiences again!

Terrific article, Janice! I will definitely share it with my coaching clients, many of whom are 50-ish and either already travel a lot or dream of traveling more. For many of them who are exploring ways to “renew” themselves, some solo travel would definitely be just the thing.

Go Janice!
I would add one more: By traveling solo, you immerse yourself much more deeply in your environment, meeting local people and being in the moment. Traveling with others it’s too easy to retreat to private conversations and well-worn tracks.
Great piece. I’m going to post a link to it on my blog, Roads Less Traveled, at http://www.tracybarnettonline.com.

Thanks for your thoughts Susan. Hmm, I think I should be writing something about independent business travel.
