Has anyone ever taken a vacation without their spouse or partner?. Would you take a vacation without your partner? or are you the type that just can't enjoy the new sights, sounds and tastes of someplace new without your love?  IP: Logged |

Sure! When with family usually after Christmas and around the new year I vacation with family without my partner. Well this year I am single so it's not like I have a choice it seems.  I actually get to do more touristy stuff without. Museums and all.. But then if your partners IS your family then yeah..IP: Logged |

I adjust very well to travel and have almost always traveled alone as an adult. I don't get seasick, jet lag, or homesick. My only limits are money and then there are some places in the world that I will not visit. I don't have a partner, but I could definitely do a solo vacation. IP: Logged |

It totally depends on what kind of vacation we're talking about. For example, I have no problem going camping all by myself (or with others). And when I visit family in the East Texas Bible Belt (aka, "behind the pine curtain"), it's sometimes easier to go by myself...the 2 times I brought someone from California there was some definite culture shock. If I were to go on a cruise or perhaps a "more traditional tourist destination" (to do tourist things) then I'd definitely want someone to share it with, but if my partner didn't want to go I wouldn't have a problem going with my BFF or someone else instead. Actually, I want to visit Vladivostok one day but I wouldn't take either my partner or BFF as I think it's too dangerous for them, instead I'd take my streetwise Russian American friend (who has family there and has visited the city herself before, and can speak some Russian). And there's no way I'd visit Vladivostok by myself (and surrounding Siberian countryside, and I'd like to ride the Transsib across Russia which starts/ends in Vladivostok, and while Ulan Ude and Novosibirsk sound like safe cities that I'd enjoy, I'd definitely want an experienced guide otherwise) as it strikes me as too risky being a woman traveling alone there (and also as a tourist which translates as rich to some criminal/corrupt cop minds and there are Russians who still don't like Americans for a variety of reasons). I also want to visit Australia, Finland, and Argentina and would gladly take my partner and/or friends but as I know people in those countries I'd be happy to go by myself (assuming I got to meet my email friends there face to face). I don't know anyone in Sweden (where my mother's side came from) but I'd be willing to go by myself there, too (though I'd like to share it with someone, possibly my Finnish email friend, assuming he's not one of those Finns who doesn't like the Swedes).

Yes, I have taken vacations w/o my spouse and had lots of fun. I did however attend these trips with friends and/or my siblings. I think going on a trip alone might be a little boring, but do not feel like I must have my spouse with me in order to have a good time.IP: Logged |
