Do you prefer to travel alone?

Some people prefer to travel with groups, such as friends and family. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Why?

I travel a lot and love to travel with my boyfriend. We are very spontaneous and when traveling with a group you pretty much have to consider others and plan ahead.

It's definitely better when you can just go when you want, where you want, and do what you want on momentary whims.

Although, some people prefer to plan ahead. (I'm not one of them.)

Travel alone allows you to do many things and moving around faster than in groups, for me I would travel alone or maybe with just one of two companion but not in large numbers.

There are times when I 'd prefer tot ravel alone and some other when I definitely want my family with me . I think it alwasys depends on the purpose of the travel , if it is just for bussines is better to be alone , well if the event doesn't require taking an associate or an employee with you . If it's for vacation , I would like take my family with me , for sure .

It depends on the trip for me. If I was going to a place such a disneyland, I'd prefer to go with family or friends as it is very social. But if I were to go to a place where I'd just like to relax, then I'd probably prefer to go alone or with just one person. It's always good to go with someone if they've been there once in my opinion.

I like both approaches - travel alone as well as travelling with others. For solo travel, the biggest advantage is freedom to do whatever you fancy. For travelling with partners, there is company and more social interaction

I'd want to travel alone. I'd feel more comfortable without any stress or noise sources. But currently i am not on my own and i travel together with my family.

Pros & cons to each..

I'm single, no wife or g/f, so I travel alone.

My last few trips to other countries I have been scoping out spots to potentially expat to, so it works best going alone.

I get everything I need to figured out on my trips, but I will admit it can be a little boring at the end of the day alone and usually end up somewhere having a few beer most days.

Oh well, it's always a trade-off. If I went with others, I'd have to compromise and do things they want, etc..

My preference is between the two extremes. I prefer to travel with my wife, or one other person (relative or friend). My second choice would be to travel alone - that way, I have the freedom go where and when I want without having to consult or agree with someone else. While I have to qualms about traveling in groups, it is my least favored way to go.

i like to travel alone and usually meet others who are traveling alone. then we hang out, share notes, etc.
if you're traveling for the opposite sex , alone is always best....
