travelling..do u think?

[Courtney]

it's a good idea to travel alone to the UK (and live with relatives) because I could go with friends but i think it might be a great experience for me to go alone and get away from everyone i mean that's healthy right? cuz i know ill mkae freinds over there anyways

[robyn]

I can see traveling with friends becoming very irritating...
Best go on your own.

[krisamata]

i think its fine if you go on yer own.
just be safe.


or go with friends...but leave them every once awhile....and arrange to meet up in different cities.
that way you still have the comfort of home with you every once in awhile.

[QuanNeur]

definately go on your own! western europe is very safe even for a lone female traveller

^ ummmm i wouldnt gurentee that. watch out for those greek, spanish, and italian boys. not that they are realy dangerous but can make you very uncomfortable unless you realy like getting your ass grabed all the time. :moon:

[PHUNK]

I can tell you from experience...

If your traveling alone , young, and female you better be realy street smart!

If your staying with relitives, your pretty safe and have a close home that you can back up on, but may not meet as meny ppl.

If you stay and travel thorugh backpacker hostels, Youll meet heeps of amazing/cool ppl (mostly guys trying to pick you up for a shag, maybe you doing the same to them? no matter how intresting or cool they seem ALWAYS have that in the back of your mind)

Dont be nieve or put too much trust with ppl. You can have trust
and freindship, but always be warry of the doubt.

I reckon backpackers are some of the most peacfull, fun, loving, caring, intresting,party going ppl youll ever meet!!! Just be carfule, cus i did run into one bad apple.

Traveling alone is one of the best things or was the best thing I could ever do for myself. Especialy at a young age of 19.
Its such a difrent feeling, so free. You dont get any influence from freinds, parents, even media. Your completly who you want to be, do what you want to do, leave when you want, everysingle choice is up to YOU !!!
Also youl tell so meny diffrent ppl about yourself and them telling you about them. Slowly you come to see the type of person you realy are all the time and forget about trying to be someone diffrent.
Its so scary at first and can be loanly, however thats why i keept on the move and was to bisy to ever feel alone. Youd be serprised how much you open up to meeting ppl when alone. Most Backpackers and Myself agree that you meet way more ppl on your own.
Its also such a great fantastic feeling of knowing you did it all on your own!!!

I do highly recamend it to anyone who is capable of knowing how to cope with their emotions if alone for the most part (we all have to get over it somtime and realy grow up)
Knows how to find a place to stay, cook or aforde to eat out, and isnt gonna get screwed over by scum bags... etc.

I was in Australia for a year, its much like Canada and im sure the UK will be much the same too. Same language, comenwelth etc.

If you can do what I did... Go with a freind for the first bit intill you feel comfortable and understand how things work and get use to it. Then when you feel ready, go off all on your own, you should be fine :)


Good luck and go for it!!!
And dont ever hesitate to ask me more about it :)

[mojo]

fuck you just made me more motivated to do this:)^^
thanks.

[~lazee_grrl~]

^haha..she's awesome at motivating ppl to go on traveling on their own...she's definitely motivated me.. :hehe:

[Kandyapple]

Kinda nervouse???

I was hella nervouse b4! I remember 2 days b4 while we were at our going away party I felt like saying "no im not going on that plane, I change my minde!"

Realy its about puching your self to do somthing you know needs to be done and delt with, no matter how scared. If worsed comes to worse i had a return flight. And you have reletives :)

Like I said b4 start off with your reletives and when you feel ready to pucsh yourself further take off all on your own.

Aaron and I actualy met a girl only a day older then me from Courtney V.Island who came all on her own, or had an other girl her age to meet up with. But dont forget, its not 100% safe, so always be extra causouse.... even though I felt safer in Sydney then Vancouver. Just dont go nieve.

When you leave and how long you staying?

[Courtney]

mid august and not sure yet for how long...
