I like H. D.Thoreau, because, we share similar views, especially about travel. Read his quote below:
“The man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.”
Don’t assume he is pointing at the women or others who don’t get ready quickly. He meant the readiness in overall aspects related to traveling that includes:
- Mental preparedness
- Difference in tastes about the choice of destination
In this blog post, I analyze the reasons for men who prefer to travel alone and also cite the 10 best destinations for single guys.
Don’t be surprised about people who travel without any company. Men (women too) have now started going around the world alone and in fact, it seems they prefer solo traveling for various reasons. Different men travel alone for different purposes.

Do you know that there is a new phrase in English that goes by the word, “mancation” which means man-only vacation? The trend has become so popular that vacation planners and travel organizers have started offering ‘mancation holiday packages’ and ‘mancation vacation destination ideas’.
