Holidaying alone
« on: February 18, 2013, 08:35:30 PM »
Growler Jnr is talking about going on holiday abroad....on his own. eeek:

I don't think this is a very good idea.
I'd suggest one of these 18-30 companies, but i know he'd absolutely hate it as he really doesn't get on with others of his own age and the capers they get up to generaly speaking..

Obviously I can't stop him, but I just think it would be an incredibly lonely experience for a youngster, and don't quite know what to suggest tbh. confused:

Now for me, it wouldn't really be a problem, as I'd be off adventurising meself in wilderness's far far away, but he doesn't really have any hobbies or even a sense of adventure.
Oh the joys. ::)

Nonsense!!

If you travel alone (I have been  doing this since I was 15) you meet loads of other people. When you get fed up and want to move on then you can do. If you go abroad with a tour you get stuck with the sheeples.

I had some of my best shags solo travelling, I am sure he will too  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I know what you're saying, and as i say, it wouldn't bother me either, it's just that he's quite shy and introvert, (takes after me  angel1 ) and he's thinking along the lines of a package holiday i think, which will mean sittng alongside the pool on his own reading never ending copies of Autoexpress, and going to his nest at 8pm after a drinking sesh consisting of 15 diet Cokes and a couple of orange squashes.

Why not see how he gets on with a short break abroad with a focus on something he's interested in. 
Well, whatever, nevermind
