Should I go on Lonely Vacation?

Post Reply New Topic

My workmates, one in particular, think I should go abroad this year, despite having been abroad. Last year I did go to Turkey by myself and I enjoyed it because it was my first time abroad ,other then a day trip to France and on the second day, I found someone who I could relate to and we spent the rest of the holiday together. This took away much of the loneliness that would have felt if I did not find her.

The second time round, the vacation could well be the most depressing time, as I will be by myself and if I did not enjoy myself the vacation would be a complete waste of time and money. Especially that I do not have the money in first place, even though I am expecting some bonuses and overtime this month.

I remember the trip to Brighton on a very hot day, it must have been hotter then it was when I went to Turkey. I didn’t know that it could be hot at the coast because of the cold sea breezes.

One the long trip there had some benefits to my car as it cleared out the engine a little bit and my car stops randomly stalling. But it was such a loneliest experience that the joy a better working car did not help at all. My depression was luck a ton of bricks only thing I could do after a couple of hours is go back home.

Even my journey home was depressing and I was crying despite, the fact that driving on the freeway was all new experience to me and very scary driving at such high speeds; scared the wheels would fall off.

My workmate said it is not worth putting my life on hold until I find someone as I will come over desperate, but how can a lonely vacation that puts me more into the red make things batter.

I know what you mean. I've been toying with the idea of visiting some Planeteers.

If you have the health and don't find it overly stressful...if you have the finances...by all means consider it.

Seeing new things, traveling...gives you a different perspective on life, in the past I've always found it to be a positive thing.

I reluctantely took a trip about 10 years ago before my father passed...he was sick at the time, but doing okay...but we all had the feeling that the months to come wouldn't be good. He and my mom both packed my bags and said "go" chasing me out the door. It was only 2 weeks...to the beach in the off-season. I spent alot of time alone walking on the beach. If I hadn't of gone I don't think I would have had half of the strength and inner calm I did have to deal with the months that followed.

To this day I can still close my eyes and hear the ocean, see the sun setting on it in the evening, and see the mist rolling off of it in the morning after the rain. Even though most of use hate change...sometimes it can prove beneficial.

YES,you should go on a lonely vacation because LOVE IS A JOKE!! !! !

Go for it. I've gone away by myself a few times and had fun. It's interesting to get away from the routine--I feel like a different person when I'm away, and I'm not afraid to approach people as much. Very liberating.

I'm planning another trip this summer, a week long bicycle trip. I can't wait.

Aren't you in the UK? Maybe you should pay a visit to Graelwyn.
