Solo is not Single travel, as you have read in countless blogs, magazine articles and on line. Not a mission to find Mr or Ms Right..... Solo travel is to experience EVERYTHING or to just relax and do only what you want to do.
My last trip with 'a travel companion' was a nightmare. Other solo travelers may have a 'Steve" story or have just found that solo travel is "freeing", "expanding" and something they prefer. I vowed never to waste vacation time again.
Now that my trips are often 30 day adventures, Solo Travel is the perfect solution. When possible I try to rent an apartment in a central location and take day trips to other towns or villages. Changing towns every few days is exhausting and only allows you to see the "tourist attractions" but rarely to meet the locals or understand what is special about each place you visit. Some of the most insightful days I have spent were looking for replacement shoelaces in Spoletto", using the post office in Florence or chatting with a local jewelry artist about computers!
I have tried to become a traveler, not just a tourist. To try to learn something about the people and place I am visiting the solution for me, was to do theme travel: discover something new, learn a new skill or explore something different.

| The harbor view from Sorrento Lingue |
My best adventure was enrolling in Sorrento Lingue school in Sorrento Italy during a 3 month sabbatical I took to see if I could consider living in Italy long term. That in itself was an adventure. Be sure to view a post on Sorrento Lingues' program for 50+ students on http://www.hometoitaly.com.

I had advertised to find an Italian grandmother so I could learn how to make pasta. I wanted to recreate the Italian American experience of learning the traditional skills every Italian grandmother teaches.
Yle found me Nonna Vata and I spent a day learning to make pasta! She makes wishes come true and dream a reality.
