I’m 31 years old, I’m single and still waiting for someone to travel with because I have some health issues and i’m afraid to travel alone ?

Interesting that people never mind their own business. Thanks for the advise saving for later as I am planning to solo travel abroad in the coming year.

People always ask me why I’m traveling alone, and I just say, “I don’t know anyone else who can take between two and eight months off work every year, and who wants to visit places like… THIS!” while I gesture around us at the decrepit Soviet ruins or the pile of cow poop in the street!

In reply to zrznaceste. It is always strange to me when people seem to be more concerned that I am alone, than I am. I just hope by putting this out there, more woman will feel a little bit more comfortable to try it : )

That is very important topic. I also travel alone a lot, I was never ashamed, but people asked me the same questions. So annoying sometimes!
