    Well I am comfortable doing both. Traveling alone is a divine experience and traveling with friends and family is fun!

    It depends on the place where i go. If that place is expensive then i like to have a trip partner so that we can share all rhe expensive and can enjoy. But i like travelling alone.

    I usually travel with my partner and my daughter or sometimes a crazy weekend with friends. I miss having the freedom to travel alone; I miss being able to do only what I want for the amount of time I want to do it. Traveling with others can be a huge exercise in compromise. Plus, I meet fewer locals when I'm surrounded by people from home. Even when traveling with someone, I make sure I have some time to be alone at our destination. I plan something just for me or send them off to do things and have quiet time alone by the pool or on the beach.

    I like traveling with others. It gives you the best of both worlds. It is good to share the fun and adventure. It also gives you a level of safety in numbers. Then, there are still times you can have some alone time along the way. I am into social interaction and it wouldn't be as fun and meaningful if I were alone.

    I would love to find someone to travel with who is on my wavelength. Each time I have traveled with others, it was hard work. It may cut down on costs and be safer at times, but I feel more stressed and restricted. I have managed short trips like an overnight and that's fine, but holidays for a week or more I do prefer alone unless whoever I travel with is independent enough to give me space.

    I love travelling, and certainly wouldn't enjoy it on my own. I much prefer to travel with at least one more person. I feel a lot safer too. Plus some people approach you if you're on your own, and you may not necessarily be in the mood to socialise.

    I have never travelled alone, though it sounds a bit fun to do. However, I prefer exploring different places with my friends and family. It's a good bonding time for all of us, and it will somehow strengthen our ties together. Plus, it's great to have someone to talk to and laugh with when you are on an adventure, right? :D;)

    I travel with friends and family, even if it is only one other person with me. I get scared when I travel by myself because something bad could happen and I would be all alone trying to deal with it. Maybe the discomfort comes from being a female, I don't know, but I always feel much more safe when someone else is with me.
