I was alone for the beginning of my trip. Flew from Malaysia all the way to Spain alone! And I was the only Malaysian in my entire school. Talk about scary... but it was so fun.

I've been to Iceland for a whole week alone around and did the same while visiting Helsinki/Copenhagen.. I like it..I found it useful...

I went to Minnesota alone once and had a good time by myself. 

Just came back from Romania last week.  That was the first time I've traveled alone.  I booked myself in hostel in order to meet people, but I ended up with the room to myself (and there were 8 beds!).  It got lonely after a couple of days.  Went off to another hostel in another city and met up with bunch of travelers.  That was blast:)

NO.i think i will loss.i'm so worry about that.

i went to spain by myself for about 10 days. it was a good experience, but it did get lonely towards the end.

yes, i love it. it's exhilarating and freeing to go off to foreign lands exploring by yourself.  i did this all around china and have traveled elsewhere in the US by myself on occasion, too.

don't get me wrong--going with friends is always fun, but alone works as well. :)

I've been to Vietnam for a whole week alone

is a nice trip

If it's just regional (like to another state or something), then go for it, have a blast!  I went to San Francisco by myself and stayed at my friend's for a day or two. It was great~

Now I am planning to go alone to the Philippines this summer for a month.  Never been there before, and don't speak the language.  But I'm participating in a program where I'd be living with a host family, hang out with other students/volunteers like me, and have program employees at their office there help me with anything I need during my stay.

It's no fun when you got no one to share your excitement with you though.

Besides, if you go at it alone (I mean seriously by yourself all the way through the trip, not just flying alone) it'd be too dangerous because if anything happens, there's no one to fall back on.  Especially if nobody there speaks your language!

What if you lose your passport or get really sick?  What if you get stranded at the airport from delays?  Then it's no fun anymore.

I say always be prepared and have a pal.

yup! i went Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan alone when I was 20 years old. It was sooo fun!

I have traveled alone alot. I was in SE Asia almost 3 weeks, 5 weeks in Europe backpacking and traveling all over the US. But I do end up meeting and making friends etc.

ahhhh. i stopped by japan for a night on my way to phillippines. crazy trip! ill never forget it. The minute I stepped out of the airport was the scariest feeling. My family was on the other side of the airport so i had to figure out how to call them with those payphone booths. i had to find a place to exchange u.s dollars for japanese coins so i can make the phone call. I had to find a way to get to them so I took the shuttle but i was soooo confused and i dont speak the language.

The next day, I was late to board my plane cuz my uncle had to work and he came home late. When i checked in, this japanese flight attendant took me in and we run across the airport to get to my gate. it was hilarious and scarry at the same time. All I could say to her was "harigato gozaimas" bowing my head and running at the same time
