A1 Great point, @ataxiascot Many people say that. once you start. solo is the only way for them from then on. #TTOT https://t.co/FDH7WUBXOE

A2 #ttot A pro is you are able to see and do what you want. I guess a con would be getting lonely. I typically don’t. If I’m not doing something, I’m usually asleep or online.

A1 What a great lesson to learn about oneself. Thanks @aok_NW #TTOT https://t.co/7CBp4KWUfn

A2 The freedom is a definite pro. The con would be not having someone to bounce ideas off, especially when things go awry #TTOT https://t.co/rTdQXtyfqX

What is one important thing you consider a pro and one important thing you consider a con of traveling by yourself? #TTOT

@wheresshellyii @SharLivingstone A1 traveling alone, I have found out that I can start up a conversation with anyone. No, seriously. ANYONE!
Not being tied to talking to just one person, I can observe those around me and make witty comments as I go. #TTOT

A2 Travelling solo requires focus which leads to deeper experiences that one might miss otherwise. The downside is usually the logistics esp. dealing with luggage alone (that won’t fit into the ladies’ room!). #TTOT Image: @pixabay

replying to @GWMtravels @GWMtravels @SonjaSwissLife @SharLivingstone Although we usually travel together, I make friends a lot easier when I travel solo. #TTOT

A2. Con first. Not having a loved one to share special views with.
Pro. Sharing those views with people who appreciate them as much as you do.
#TTOT
MrBobPowers
A2. Pro; you can do what you want, where you want and when you want.
Con - not being able to share those moments, mutual support on the bad days and eating/drinking alone #ttot

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @pixabay Yes, not having someone to watch your stuff when you have business to attend to is a challenge. #ttot

@StevenOnTheMove #TTOT A2: Pro you can do whatever you want and meet loads of new people.
Contra: it can be lonely at points (if you are not a person used to it) and going alone to a restaurant can feel odd at times for some.

@wheresshellyii @StevenOnTheMove A2 Pro: I don't have to worry about anyone elses snoring but my own.
Con: a package deal costs more since I don't have a second person for a room. That "great deal" isn't so great when paying for it twice.
and they don't give me twice the cake from the buffet! #TTOT
SharLivingstone
A2 Which is why minimal/carry-on only packing is brilliant, especially for solo travellers. Me and my 40 litre pack fit nicely into any cubicle #TTOT https://t.co/I93iGX0cPC
SonjaSwissLife
A2 Agree, Laura. People who don't travel solo have no idea about the importance of dealing with the bags. Thanks @dailysuitcase #TTOT https://t.co/aBmWmCukap

replying to @MrBobPowers @MrBobPowers The "asking for help" bit is so important. Solo-travel forces you talk to starngers. And very often, it can be so rewarding. #TTOT

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott @wheresshellyii @StevenOnTheMove That’s a good point. The good ole single supplement is a definite con. #ttot

A3: I always stay at hostels. I may be 49, but I meet a LOT of younger people, and people my own age, who are always up for doing things together. I much prefer hostels to hotels or Airbnb when I am alone for that reason. #TTOT
