Is It OK To Travel Alone (Not To Meet Girls)?

[FrustratedWhiteMale]

I am 56. I live in The United States. I never left the country.
I want to travel all over the world - but not for the purpose of meeting girls.
It would be much better if I could sightsee with a girl. I don't have one.
I know if I go alone, I'll be miserable. The other choice is not going at all, which is worse.
I want to see London, The Eiffel Tower, The Great Wall of China, The India / Pakistan Border, Iran, The South Pole, The Equator,The International date Line, A volcano, The Jungle and so forth.
Hotels charge the same for two people as one.
I have no male (or female) friends to travel with. I have no family.
If I go on a cruise, I have to pay for the whole cabin, whether it is one person in there or two. So I have to pay for an empty bed.
I will have to eat alone, be on the plane alone. Kind of kills the fun.
I don't make friends easily, or not at all for that matter. I try to talk to people, but they don't respond. Sounds like my dolls, right?
What should I do?

I travel alone, but I've never been out of the country.

Recently got my passport in and was considering a trip, but I've been too depressed.

Look into the backpacking culture and hostels.

I imagine Youth Hostels full of young people, with lots of sex going on in there. It will make me feel really horrible. I won't be able to hide from it.

I have traveled around Europe alone, hotel costs add up fast though, its probably better to rent a room, if you are okay with it. But yeah, it gets dull after the two or so day alone, but initially its fun going around sightseeing.
Airbnb is a option but I have no experience with it.

But yeah, it gets dull after the two or so day alone

I was thinking of only traveling up to 3 days, maximum.
I know I'll be miserable beyond that.
I've travelled in The United States, and got bored after the second day.
I did not meet anyone. Often, I would come home the following day.
My trips were all by train, under three hours from New York / Penn Station.
I did not leave the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, Penn)

My trips were all by train, under three hours from New York / Penn Station.

4 hours of travel is nothing, I used to commute 2 hours daily for a while by train literally drove me nuts.
Europe is easy to get around sightseeing by train to the main sites (ie: Effiel tower, London eye, Berlin etc.).
You can try to find a meetup group or go with a planned sightseeing tour, but my experience is that most people just tend to stick with people they already know. Usually the folks in these groups are ~35+ depends on the group. Its hard to make small talk, but you're not losing anything by trying. But these travel plans are pricy, might be paying twice of what you would pay if you just planned the trips by yourself however.

not worth traveling alone as an ugly male. it'll be depressing as fuck for you, witnessing the normans holding hands, kissing, taking selfies, etc at the spots you go to. you'll be seen as weird and creepy being the old alone guy. that's why we have the internet, you can go anywhere you want in the world in the matter of seconds and won't give your money to greedy jews to travel.

travel to iraq tbh

Travelling alone to popular locations is suifuel. Not knowing local languages is going to make you feel even more alienated. Unless you want to visit some underrated, hidden gem-type of places in poorer countries, don't bother.
Having company always makes travelling better, without it it's just not worth the time and money. I'm saying that as a quite reclusive man.

If you are miserable back home because of other issues, what makes you think traveling will do anything for you?

Travelling alone is ok in your 20s, and 30s a few times. More people have done it, its usually better going with a friend though. I have given up on travel and I am saving my leave, hoping that by some miracle I could meet a girl and have all this leave banked up to go travelling with her. It won't happen though, been yrs, I am worse off then last year, just hoping.

Visit north sentinel island

 

[tooth monster]

It's not worth it alone. Imagine something happened to you and you would have noone to help you.

 

[Valiant Virgin]

Of course it's okay. Why wouldn't it be?

Some of the best experiences I've had have been from travelling alone in foreign countries. Exploring new places is a fantastic thing to do.

Honestly, at this point in your life you should make the most of the time you have. If you want to travel, do it. You'd prefer to travel and go sightseeing with a girl, but the harsh reality is that's not going to happen. All you can do is try to enjoy it and don't obsess over the fact that you don't have a girl with you. Think about it this way - you can go wherever you want, whenever you want - you don't have to compromise on your plans.

[ihaveno1]

[Michael15651]

Hell yeah... Just do it. Backpacking is beat done alone. You get to travel as you wish. You can eat minimum.. travel as you wish. You don't have to make or abide by plans with others. Essentially you don't have to pay for another person. Also you can live in hostels. They are less costly.

 

[Cuyen]

[Alone75]

Going to bars alone is depressing enough, fuck flying thousands of miles alone to another country or even going to the nearest city tbh!

 

[The Abyss]

I think you'll be disappointed with the Euro visits, those places are absolute shitholes lol.

 

[Deleted member 16455]

havent really traveled much myself tbh.
