Travelling on your own isn't too bad. I'm heading to Italy in September by myself for 5 nights so it will be interesting to see how that goes. I reckon I'll be pretty nervous the night before

mindmoog

good luck im only able to go in august
take care anyway

Travel is good

Oh this is so funny, i just found this thread. Did you all eventually meet up in the middle of Ireland somewhere?

For those of you travelling by yourselves, enjoy it!

Something similar was on this thread

Solo Travellers Holiday Club

---

Hi. Would any other single or solo travellers like to get together to set up an informal travel / holidays club ?

Just so we can post details for trips we'd like to do, dates and where we are interested in going, and see if there are others out there interested in getting together.

I know in my own case there are some very unusual places I'd really love to go and see but none of my friends or family want to come. (The Middle East, China and Cuba being the main ones now).

So if anyone is interested go ahead and post here where you'd like to go and the dates and what kind of things you are wanting to do when there.

Folks,

I was thinking of heading away on a solo holiday in Ireland or England. I would like to go somewhere scenic and that is a good area for cyling. Anyone have recommendations?

Mooders_10

what a pity if anything goes ahead that there might be an age limit on it... am 21 and would love to travel a lot more.. any single holiday sites ive searched seemed to be based in the UK or are just to expensive...

I've set up a facebook group for solo travelers theres 18 people on it so far.

to be honest i think people are too shy to make the first move i need some non shy people to kick it off

irish_goat

I'd maybe be up for this too.

My current crop of friends are either all off on long term summer holiday/jobs, getting paid to go abroad for work, refuse to go on holiday unless it involves going somewhere "different" that no tourists ever go to (there's a reason for that!), only interested in going to loads of music festivals abroad, off on romantic holidays or afraid of leaving the country (no joke).

I'm a 21 year old male, would prefer young'uns on the trip. :P

cycling is fun

Hi i had set up a group on facebook about traveling together as a group a few people joined but they did not make suggestions about where to travel to hope to go to spain myself in october if any body is interested let me know

Diggler_83

I was also browsing through here looking for information about any Irish singles travel club, I cant believe there isn't any. Im 27 & would love to get out to travel alot more but you get to an age when you realise one day your friends are all "whipped" and tied down with other stuff If any group is trying to be made Id be willing to put my name in the hat no prob!

cycling is fun

maybe people could suggest where they would be interested in going and whattime of year im very interested in going to the costa brava in october its about 1 hr from barcelona by train anybody interested?

Diggler_83

If anything is planned count me in too, new york would be great!

Macker007

If there are any cruise lovers out there, I read in a magazine last night that NCL cruises new ship Epic has 38 single occupancy cabins. First cruise ship to offer this.

mindmoog

would love to go with group of single outgoing people to new york or rome in august late twenties to early forties age group if anyone interested maybe we can all form an unofficial travel group! meet up beforehand and see how we get on! etc etc ...............:cool:

eirebeag

would love a cruise on med for a week in july or august. count me in if you get group together.

mindmoog

how much is a week cruise in the med ? :cool: and do you get to go off on the mainland clubbing etc etc

Groucho100

Sounds good to me. I'd be interested in any of the suggestions above, NY, Spain or the cruise idea sounds good too. I joined that FB group so let's see what happens next! Good idea to meet up before to see if everyone gets on...

mindmoog

what does fb stand for?
did you ever go on holidays with a bunch of people you met through a forum if so how did u get on?:eek:

Groucho100

FB stands for Facebook, just referring to the facebook page mentioned in an earlier post.

I've never gone away with a group I met on a forum but I'm willing to give it a go. I'd say it could be a blast..?

little lady

I was trying to arrange something like this on TLL but it turned into a weekend away in Ireland. If anyone would like to PM me to meet up a discuss possible holidays. I was looking at Portugal or Italy??

I'm not necessarily looking to spend the whole holiday in eachohters pockets but it would be nice to know that you have someone to have dinner or a few drinks with in the evening and have a chat with during the day.

mindmoog

little lady
yay i want to go to italy in august and maybe go out for drinks evening etc get male attention etc etc have the craic easygoing not too mental though!

Yaayyyy I think we have the beginning of a plan :-) Rome sounds good to me, lots to see :-)

str|ct9 - personally I don't mind if it's a mixed group but you might want to rope in a few blokes for yourself unless you don't mind a holiday with the girls. Not sure what anyone else thinks??

Groucho100

Rome sounds good to me! I was there once years ago at a wedding and it was only a two day thing so I didn't see much of the city so I'd love to see it again. I'm not that fussy really, although I do like being near the sea when on holidays, but I'd love to see Rome again.

Has this turned into a girls only holiday then?

Hope not.. that would exclude me :eek:

Seriously though, let's keep the posts going and maybe meet up sometime

Apologies Groucho, didn't realise you were male, for some reason I just presumed we were all female :-)

little lady

Hey,

Just curious if this is still going ahead??

Hannie1

Hi Guys,

I'm just back from Rome. I went on my own to a campsite where I stayed in a great cabin with all services. It had a pool bar, restaurant and really good facilities. Half hour from Rome and 10 minutes from beach. Great public transport and I met loads of people to talk to. Might be a good one for you to try.

Hannie

Groucho100

Hi everyone, I'm still interested if anyone else is!

Rob20100

hi, i'll go too if its still on??:)

little lady

Yep still interested, has the group shrunk??? Maybe we should try meet up to make some sort of plans???

Groucho100

Good idea..

Rob20100

hey everyone!

1 thing i forgot to mention. i hope to god ye are not thinking of camping!! otherwise im out.

chat soon
Rob

little lady

Anyone else still up for this???

mindmoog

im very worried about money i think the idea of a little travel club is great but i dont know i can afford a holiday costing one or two grand
i know in the past people went on weekends away as well as big hols and they were successful i think maybe a long weekend away would be easier for me at present! i have sent away for an express passport today and id still like to use it but i need to get funds under my belt
im still considering this im not out but im scared to commit to such an expensive holiday right now
maybe something smaller! look let me know how you all get on anyhow!
mm

mindmoog

ill check out cheap cheap prices with hannie1!

mindmoog

ill be there at around eight wearing blue coat - i have red hair
ill be reading - ill hook up with yis anyway as i started this thread

Angelface1

Just came across this thread whilst conducting a search on 'singles holidays' - timing eh??

WOuld love to know what all you guys and gals came up with - so hard venturing away alone. Would love to consider a group away thingi.

little lady

Hi Mindmoog, I'm so sorry, as we though no one else was going to meet up we changed the venue to Dundrum :-(. Just the two of us meet up. I'll PM you my mobile and I can give you a call if you want, maybe arrange to meet again at the weekend.

We didn't make any definate plans, just discussing the possibilities, either a week a way or a week in Ireland over the west somewhere depending on finances as single supplements can be kind of expensive.

Angelface1, you are more than welcome to join us, have you an perference to where you'd like to go and what type of holiday??

We're going to have a look today on the web and see what we can come up with.

bob50
