Goin' solo...nothing like it! (A trip report collection)
 
I thought it might be a good idea (and because I'm procrastinating like crazy) to gather the Fodors' solo trip reports into one place, so I'll start with mine:

Peru (Amazon rainforest) and Panama City, 2007: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=35029544

Poland and Lithuania, plus London, 2006: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34841274

China, including Tibet and Hong Kong, 2005:
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34656568

Malta, 2004 (in a "100 Best" format:)
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34569518

Vietnam, 2002:
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34659821

Iceland, 2001 (also in 100 Best format): http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...mp;tid=1278237

Go for it...traveling solo is a wonderful thing. :)

What a wonderful idea Amy! This will be one thread that I'll sit my nieces down to read the next time they're here. To follow your lead (and example on identifying the reports):

Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Montreal, 2007: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=35061783

Very good idea, I only have one to contribute and it's incomplete. X(

Freebirdy07 Dec 25th, 2007 11:25 PM

Good on you!! I love your enthusiasm about traveling solo.. I love it to :)

suze Dec 26th, 2007 10:18 AM

Sorry, I never write trip reports myself, so have nothing to contribute along those lines but want to thank you (Amy) for the idea and getting this thread started.

For the rest of you lovers of adventures alone... let's get together & breathe some life into 'Solo Traveler' forum for the New Year!!

My trip reports (all solo) are on my web site: www.wilhelmswords.com - although I've been meaning to do one for fodors for the last trip....

The solo trips I've written a Fodors trip report on:

USA 2007
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...suki&fid=1

Japan 2006
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...suki&fid=1

Other trips I've done solo - to Japan, Europe and the eastern parts of Australia I've written about in my blog - in reverse oreder. Excuse the typos; they are usually written when tired, against the clock in internet cafes on unfamilair keyboards!
