Has anyone done solo travel? I’m thinking about doing it for the first time. Tips or advice?

Many of these posts are about meeting people, but it’s also perfectly enjoyable to indulge in solitude if that’s what you’re seeking. The great thing about solo travel is you get to choose for yourself either way rather than accommodating input from other travel companions.

Thinking Japan and maybe a few countries in that area

I’ve solo travelled four different times, it’s amazing - but take care of yourself if you’re hitting nightclubs or other parties. I had a 2 drink max, no drugs rule to make sure I would get home ok

What are you aiming for? Being a tourist or partying?

Following! Also contemplating the same, but feeling weird about it

Mostly a tourist but would want to try the night life too.

As a tourist just try to plan most tours ahead and choose fall or spring time to travel. You find more people willing to meet others in these times of the year, plus you have more chances of meeting locals too.
As for partying, I always check when each location has a big party going on, because that means a lot of people will be in town for it.
Do you have any country in mind?

Get a Spartacus gay guide app to have a list of the gay places. The touristy stuff of Japan you can get info everywhere. Japan is super organized and easy to travel around.

I just came back from a solo trip to Japan, was incredible. Suggest 3-4 nights Tokyo, 1 night Hakone, 3-4 nights Kyoto. The Japan guide website is a helpful starting point.

If you're solo traveling try staying at hostels to meet people!

Uhhh hostels are so juvenile... not sure if I would recommend that.

M2, I think it was quite clear that OP wanted to meet other gay guys when he said explore the nightlife and party scene. You can enjoy solitude locked up at home.

D1, chill. M2 is just trying to help. I’m mostly trying to spend time exploring and eating but I definitely don’t mind having a few drinks to experience the nightlife. M2, glad to hear a lot of things could be indulged in solitude. Let me know if you have any cool recommendations.

EY1, do you ever get bored doing things on your own?

Practically all I do!

I finally did it. I quit and turned in my resignation in June. I’m now have been working from home for United Health Care. I wished I would have done this years ago. I started teaching right out of college 20 years ago and thought all jobs were as bad as teaching I was so wrong. My new job is not stressful I now have a normal life and look forward to going to work.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
