4 worst things about travelling on your own.

Travelling on Your own has its disadvantages and in my opinion these are 5 of the worst parts :-

1. Eating Out - I never feel comfortable eating in restaurants and if i do visit one tend to rush my food so i can get out. Normally I would eat in Pubs but luckily Irish Pubs seem to be everywhere. One thing I like in America is people actually eat sitting at the bar, never seems right sat at a table on your own.

2. Hotel Rooms - Very few modern hotels have single rooms which usually involves me having to pay the same as a couple. I'm sure it would make sense for hotels when built to include a percentage of smaller single rooms that they could charge a reduced price for. There are lots of us singles out there and i'm sure it would attract plenty of custom especially in touristy cities.
I'm happy with a small room its not that i want to live there (very rarely use the tv), clean, secure, comfy bed & hot water are what i require, I only want to sleep there.
Must admit if i ever get a room with two beds i feel like using both as i'm paying for it.

3. Taxis - Not there fault but can prove to add significant cost to the holiday if you have to use them a lot, if with a group you can split costs. It can start with airport transfers but i try do my homework and find out about public transport or shuttle buses.
Also try make sure i book hotels in the area i want to be so not having to use them on a night, works out better paying a little extra fo a hotel in the city centre than cheaper suberb options.
Many Cities have good public transport passes.

4. Airports - Arguably these can be boring particularly when on your own with nobody to chat with. My music player is a godsend.
