I’ve been to Iceland a couple of times just me and my daughter and there was loads of single tourists. Not a fly and flop thoughHi all this probably isn’t the right thread to ask this question but was wondering have any of you went on a holiday by yourself? Is there anywhere you would recommend? I tried searching for a thread on this subject but couldn’t find one, if there is one please paste in the link.
Everyone has different views based off their own experiences and I respect that, so I hope this doesn’t come across rudely at all (and I acknowledge this is personally a bit triggering for me which impacts my response) - but I think it’s a little bit harsh to refer to kids as baggage, and put them in the same category as addictions and crazy exes. My son is 8 and whilst parenting is hard, I certainly don’t view him as baggage when I am dating. He is an absolute pleasure to be around, and if I met someone I would feel they are lucky to be able to spend time with him. I’d be pretty offended if someone viewed him as baggage.Ok just to clarify, when I said I had no baggage I meant really that I don’t have any crazy exes or any kids or addictions etc. Obviously I have experienced many many things in life, a lot of which are pretty traumatic but stuff I’d only tell someone way down the line. But also I don’t see those things as baggage but just stories from my life. Just as I wouldn’t judge someone’s life experiences as baggage.
There have been a few threads posted. If you search using ‘travel’ in the advice section you’ll find them but here is one example - https://tattle.life/threads/solo-travel-advice-recommendations.30366/Hi all this probably isn’t the right thread to ask this question but was wondering have any of you went on a holiday by yourself?

You may absolutely not see children as baggage but I’d say a reasonably high percentage of child-free people, particularly of a younger age, probably would. Often when discussing baggage people are talking about things from the past that have affected someone emotionally and that they continue to carry with them, that often shape their behaviours in new relationships. An example might be having been cheated on in the past means that you may find it harder to trust or be more suspicious, not taking what is told to you at face value.Everyone has different views based off their own experiences and I respect that, so I hope this doesn’t come across rudely at all (and I acknowledge this is personally a bit triggering for me which impacts my response) - but I think it’s a little bit harsh to refer to kids as baggage, and put them in the same category as addictions and crazy exes.

I understand that dating someone with a child isn’t for everyone, particularly if you don’t have your own (obviously I haven’t had that experience!), but I just don’t think kids are “baggage”.
hi, I went to Marbella a few years ago on my own. Loved it! I stayed in a lovely hotel, half board. I booked for five nights and ended up extending it while I was there and staged an extra three. Highly recommend!Hi all this probably isn’t the right thread to ask this question but was wondering have any of you went on a holiday by yourself? Is there anywhere you would recommend?

Do it! You won't regret it. My only advice would be to book somewhere central so there are lots of people around in the evenings when you are walking back to your hotel. I found evenings tougher for eating alone but I tried to decide during the day where I would go that night so I had a plan. Enjoy.Thanks alli will check out that thread. Just need to go ahead & book a holiday by myself as I’ve wasted too much time waiting on friends to let me know when suits them.

I think baggage as a term might be something people take as an insult or see as a derogatory term. It’s not, it’s just a fact. And by it I mean additional factors that could fundamentally impact you if you were to be in a relationship with someone. Nothing more nothing less. No offence implied xEveryone has different views based off their own experiences and I respect that, so I hope this doesn’t come across rudely at all (and I acknowledge this is personally a bit triggering for me which impacts my response) - but I think it’s a little bit harsh to refer to kids as baggage, and put them in the same category as addictions and crazy exes.

I think someone mentioned NYC which I agree is totally fun on your own. I went on an all inclusive holiday to Lanzarote on my own for 4 days a couple years ago lol and it was honestly great… although I was just getting a drunk a lot on my own…Hi all this probably isn’t the right thread to ask this question but was wondering have any of you went on a holiday by yourself?

They don't but if they message you and you skip it they can send another. And you only message the ones you are interested in or you will end up with the weirdos and time wasters constantly messaging. When I first started on the apps I was a lot politer and would reply to all saying thanks for the mesage but I'm not interested but soon learnt not to do that! Some men don't take rejection well and some will persist in trying to change your mind. Only respond to the ones you are genuinely interested in.Okay I’ve downloaded badoo but what’s the etiquette on apps. If I do the x do they know? Do I have to message everyone back or just who I’m interested in? I’ve never dated before so this is all new. And what kind of things do I write in my bio?
They don't know if you haven't liked their profile no, only if you have.Okay I’ve downloaded badoo but what’s the etiquette on apps. If I do the x do they know?
