Where are you chiming in from?


It is 6pm Pacific – 9pm Eastern. This is the time & place for the #SoloTravel edition of the #WeekendWanderlust #Travel Chat! But we’re not going it alone tonight. Chime in and let us know who’s joining & where in the world you’re tweeting from!


I'm at home again after five days in @VisitBoston for @travel_con and a bit exploring in a new city!
Excited to get some work done before heading off to @ExpCols in a couple weeks!

#WeekendWanderlust #Travel Chat Q1: Do you like to travel solo? If you haven’t, would you?


A1: I absolutely love traveling solo. I'm always happy to travel regardless of solo, couple, [small] group but I think solo is my favorite!
I like being able to do what I like to do without worrying about if everyone else is happy.

#WeekendWanderlust A1: As a #travel couple/family, we rarely go solo. When we do, it’s either for work or by accident! Those stories start with “Hey, where is everyone?”

Don't forget to use the #WeekendWanderlust hashtag during tonight's chat so everyone can see your tweets. And if you haven't already, join the #travel conversation!


replying to @Travel_Session @Travel_Session Happy #July4th to you, too! #WeekendWanderlust

I'm a tad behind in responding to tonight's questions because I'm at my childhood home in metro Atlanta and watching a variety of #FourthOfJuly celebrations on TV. #WeekendWanderlust

A1: I primarily traveled solo until meeting my wife Katie. I still sometimes travel alone, but prefer to travel with her. I feel like my travels are more rich because I travel with her. #WeekendWanderlust

Q2: What has been your best experience traveling solo? Bonus points for photos! #WeekendWanderlust

A1: solo traveler all the way! #WeekendWanderlust and that’s how you can get amazing photos of yourself 😂


replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove No worries! We're glad you could join us though. Hope you're having a great holiday! #WeekendWanderlust

A2: I've had a lot of solo experiences so it's hard to choose one. Thailand was my first major solo trip so that will always be close to my heart!

replying to @Travel_Session @Travel_Session Happy #4thofJuly to you as well! Where abouts in Florida? #WeekendWanderlust

Hey #WeekendWanderlust ! It’s morning in Kabul, Afghanistan. Joining with a cup of coffee and beautiful morning light in my room ☕️🥰

replying to @lannietravels @lannietravels Haha I really love this photo! It has a lot of character :) #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove I love that! Traveling with someone can be very rewarding for sure. #WeekendWanderlust

RT @wildheartedblog: A1: I absolutely love traveling solo. I'm always happy to travel regardless of solo, couple, [small] group but I think…

A1- I end up solo traveling quite a bit, but if you wait on other people, you'll never go anywhere #WeekendWanderlust #travelingsession


A2: My first big solo trip was to #Berlin a few years after finishing grad school. I still remembering seeing the Brandenburg Gate for the first time. It was a stunning sight. #WeekendWanderlust


replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog Especially with your significant other. There's a time and place for solo travel, but it's now become awkward not sharing experiences with her. So I'd prefer to travel with her. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @Travel_Session @Travel_Session Exactly! I'd rather go alone (I actually really enjoy it) before waiting on someone else. #WeekendWanderlust

A3: I'd really love to go back to Ireland and Nepal solo, Thailand was fantastic as a solo traveler.

A3: I've visited a LOT of ballparks by myself, but I think any destination can be great for solo travel. #WeekendWanderlust

A2- Oktoberfest was pretty awesome, even going solo #WeekendWanderlust #travelingsession


A2: I did an impromptu trip to Australia before my mission began and took a day tour to Fraser Island. My first time in a tiny plane to see views of the island from above! #WeekendWanderlust


replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove Yep! Even on a super small scale - I really enjoy eating alone and going to movies alone. I used to be so scared of doing those things haha. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove It's funny, we #travel as a couple, but I'm on my own if it's a ballpark visit or any museum that's primarily cars. ;) #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @lannietravels @lannietravels That looks amazing! I was just in a tiny plane in Nepal. That's quite the experience. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog Society makes people feel awkward if they're doing things alone, which is a shame because sometimes it IS more enjoyable doing certain things alone. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte So in other words, you should invite me along when you want to go to a ballgame. I am approaching almost 90 lifetime ballparks across two continents and multiple levels of play. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust #Travel Chat Q4: What factors are important to consider when choosing a solo travel destination?


A4: As a female solo traveler, safety is definitely a concern.
However, I try not to let fear mongering and media get to me as I've felt just as safe abroad as home.
If it's your first time, perhaps visit a country that speaks your same language. #WeekendWanderlust

Enjoy a luxury indulgence when you plan Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel on a visit to Victoria BC. https://t.co/43wABZjROY #travel #WeekendWanderlust #TBIN


replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte a4: I always have to consider safety, and adjust my plans accordingly. There have been a few times where I ate too late of a dinner, and the walk back to the hotel was uncomfortable .. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A4: Safety takes on even more importance when planning to #travel solo! That’s our #1 factor, but we also factor in local transit and travel times, so we don’t end up alone at night on an empty street. #spooky


A4: Choosing a solo travel destination needs to be a place that person feels comfortable being alone. #WeekendWanderlust
