What are your favourite travel destinations and why?Hi al Just returned from Asia, for the fourth time and loved it. This time I visited China, Thailand and Cambodia. All three have lots of things to see and do and the opportunity to try the local food, I travel alone and enjoy the planning almost as much as the holiday itself. Since I am retired I can chose the best and most cost effective time to go, using one of the many flight comparison web sites and booking the first night in the country, then deciding where to go next. Never had a problem with the different languages, and felt safe as long as I used common sense when there. My next trip will be vietnam in jan 19 and I am looking forward to spending some time there. I find annual travel insurance more cost effective, even though I have had a hip replacement, have type two diabetes and partially deaf. lol there are a number of companies that provide pre existing medical insurance at a reasonable price. aViewDate:

What kind of travelling do you like?Hi, I am a newbie to this site and thought I would check it out. 63 year old straight male, based in Swansea. Missed out on travel in my twenties but now intend to rectify this. I have lived for a while in the middle east and found it interesting but now want to see places further afield. Took the plunge three years ago with a trip to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. I loved it. Booked my flights using the internet and found some good deals. Its so much easier now all the information is available on the net. In August I visited Singapore, Malaysia , Thailand and Cambodia and found it fairly straightforward to book hotels on the go, so that i could change plans if needed. One of the pitfalls with Solo travel is that there is no one to share the experience with and maybe its time to share the adventures. Hotels are relatively inexpensive once you get to Asia and so no need to share. I plan to visit Asia again in february for about a month and would welcome a travelling companion, and could even act as a tour guide for a first timer to Asia contact me if you need any further infomation/
