Which is the most addictive country for travel which makes you keep going back again and again?

Question

For me its Japan. I have been there 4x and still want to go few more times.

It's been the most picture perfect country i have traveled to. Love the traditional culture and food. Also customer service/hospitality is top class.

Solo travel because nobody will go with you

Hey I was just wondering how many people out there choose to primarily solo travel because they can't find people that want to travel?

I'm a 31M Canadian and have a really hard time finding people to travel with outside of resorts which I mostly find boring now. I've done 3 solo trips and am about to book my 4th in the next few weeks after PTO is approved, and I have one 2 week trip booked with a friend.

I have a really hard time finding like minded people, and would really rather find people to travel and explore with (Even for just part of the trip) but the idea of taking a 10 hour flight anywhere turns off a lot of my friends and family, so I just end up going solo.

anyone else solo travel because of this or similar reasons? I don't mind it but like I said, I would prefer to have a person or two with me while I'm out there to share some memories with.

Edit: I didn't think this would get that much traction but its really cool to see the reactions. Still taking some time to read through it all!

For some reason I thought that everyone on here was the "into the wild" type of solo traveler and that I was the oddball for actually wanting company while I travel. I've only been on a handful of trips but the experiences shared here are so validating of some of the "not so awesome" experiences that I've had so far.

Thank you all for sharing!

Am I the only one who does not like travel youtubers at all?

Their thumbnails and titles have all become a cliché. It's all the same. "Is this Saudi Arabia????", "is this Latvia?", "I did not expect this!!!". "SHOCKING first experience!", "our first time in Brunei (we did not like it)", etc etc. What did you expect? And why should we care about what you expected? Plus the thumbnail is almost always a face with the mouth open.
"This is my 70th country!" Who cares? This is the 150th city I have visited, why not the 28th museum or zoo?
75% of the video is the vlogger brushing her/his teeth, or saying "wooow" or "waa that is the most beautiful beach ever!! Also mandatory "wooow the locals here are so friendly guys!!!"
Many of them have a drone shot that always comes with a modern millennial music. When I travel to a place, that is not the view that I will see, so I am not interested.
Another variety is those who just regurgitates whatever they just read or heard in 5 to 10 minutes. Come on, if I want to know about the history of the place, I will read an encyclopaedia, not listen to some obscure vloggers. Plus I like how some of them only spent like 5 days in the country, and then acted like they are the authority for information concerning that country.
There are also vloggers who are conventionally attractive, so they always pose and show their body. When the vlogger is a handsome young man, he often uses his attractive girlfriend in bikini as a clickbait.
Not to mention that many of them seem to be fake and are outright "wannabes". Apparently some of them would sell courses for hundreds of dollars so that "you guys can have a life of travel like me!!", "day one or one day, you decide!!"

What advice would you have for a relatively healthy 70yo woman looking to solo travel?

Question

This is on behalf of my [35M] mom [70F]. American living the midwest. She wants to travel with me and I enjoy traveling with her but she's retired (nursing) and I work FT without a lot of vacation time. She doesn't have a lot of travel-minded single friends so I want to encourage her to travel alone as well.

However, she's relatively inexperienced with international travel and hasn't truly solo traveled for more than a day since she was a teenager. And frankly she's not very "street smart" even at home, nor very good at navigation.

She's very flexible and has the right mindset, she'll roll with problems but she doesn't yet have the problem-solving skills that come with experience. I can see her getting discouraged or overwhelmed.

The last time we traveled together I was really trying to teach her as I went, but I'm in my thirties and can't knowledge dump half a lifetime of hard-won knowledge.

She knows that I solo travel and is attracted by the idea.

She's a very social person and as the people here know solo travel creates lots of opportunities to socialize.

Travel without meeting new people

Has anyone else traveled solo for months at a time, just kind of done their own thing and not met anyone? I mean since I feel like everyone is always raving about the people they met.. I'm currently traveling, although I've not been here that long (3 days😂) I've not really socialized much. I'm also really introverted, and spend most of my time alone at home too. Sometimes I can't help but feel a little jealous when I see groups of friends or couples, but then I feel like I'm just fine on my own. Just gotta work with what I have 😂

This is my first time traveling by myself again after the pandemic and I feel like back then I met people everywhere I went and quickly too. I feel like I was a different person 🫣

Edit: I'm definitely NOT looking for someone to travel with me. it would just be nice to talk to someone from time to time.

Is there such a thing as too much travel?

Question

Justifying my life to others I appreciate is really not needed and I shouldn’t take advice from those that I wouldn’t want to be in the footsteps of. Recently however, having talked about my numerous adventures to one colleague of mine, I get the response that I should spend my time more ‘wisely’.

I work a high stress job that allows me to travel and explore the globe in my time off but without the commitments and responsibilities held of others around me in my hometown I often feel like I’m being judged perhaps based on their inability/jealousy not to be able to do the same.

My argument is that spending my time ‘wisely’ is by doing the thing I love, making the most out of life and not looking back thinking about how I should have worked more/earned more money.

When I compare myself to friends and family I’m financially less rich but I consider time to be more enriching.

I’m now in my late 20s and am left thinking that perhaps my travelling days need to have an expiry and perhaps there are indeed ‘wiser’ ways to spend my time.

My question is whether anyone else receives this sort of response when discussing their love of travel and how to ignore what could be considered ill advice?

Cheers guys, appreciate that this is probably more of a philosophical question but alas!

EDIT: Amazing responses guys, what a great community of people!

Anyone else hate it when travel blogs or guides say "X nationality are incredibly friendly!"

I've encountered friendly and unfriendly people in practically every country I've been to, including several stereotypically "friendly" ones. Almost as if humans are individuals...
