Vacationing Alone

\n\nMany\n of us older gay guys are single, and as we age, we might lose contact \nwith friends through relocation, illness, death, arguments; a host of \nreasons. And that can lead to isolation and eventual depression.  \n\n
\n\nOne\n of the ways that I have dealt with loneliness over the years, is that I \nlearned how to travel by myself and enjoy the experiences many times \nmore than if I had a traveling companion. Now traveling alone for some, is a\n very strange concept. Why would you want to be alone? Isn't the point \nof traveling to be able to enjoy the location, sights, dinners, memories\n etc. with someone else? Maybe. But what if you don't have a \nboyfriend/husband or friends that want to travel to some of the exotic \nplaces you always dreamed of going? Should you wait until you have a \npartner to travel with? (We aren't getting any younger!) Or, do we have \nto give up on ever going to those places?\n\n
\n\nI want to tell you about a few of my experiences with circling the globe alone and the self-sufficiency I learned along the way.\n\n
