I don’t like to travel alone even for business trips.

As for most places, it depends. Tourist areas in cities in daylight are probably fairly safe. Nights are always more dangerous. The parts of the cities matter. Some countries are safer than others. Looking \"blur\" is a sure magnet for pickpockets, as is displaying expensive gadgets and dressing too nicely.
I felt safe back then. But that was super long ago, when I was still single. Not sure about now.TheAnswer:
Is it safe to travel alone to Europe?
I heard from my brother that Paris is not that safe nowadays due to street gang. Originally intend to revisit Paris, tour free and easy with dd1. I'm a museum person, love love love paintings! So taking a package tour won't suit my interest
My brother strongly discouraged the two of us from travelling on our own -

Neither do I. One of the main inconveniences is not having someone to watch your stuff when you go to the loo or buy food. But alone is still better than with young kids and no other adult! I managed to avoid that until my kids were in Pr school and were more independent. I've never holidayed alone. -

I realised if I were the driver, I tend to remember where I park my car.
Accidents do happen.. -

I dun like to travel alone for work but leisure I like :rahrah:
I guess it is the feeling of being 'single' again which I enjoy.. -

Your experience is extensive compared to most of us here.. Which part of Japan u travelled to alone?TheAnswer:
Ladies, have u guys ever travelled overseas alone?
Well, I've lived overseas in many places, and moved around alone quite a bit in new places. Does that count? Travelling out of Singapore alone - only once that I can remember, but that was to several places in Japan, US and Canada - one very long trip. I am OK if I intentionally prepare myself with maps and directions. It's only when I haven't prepared that I find it hard to remember. -

Which part of Japan u travelled to alone?[/quote]It was an official trip to visit some libraries - in Japan it was mainly Tokyo and 1 in Yokohama (I think). It was in the early '90s, so it was a long time ago. I didn't bother to try shopping and sightseeing as I was alone and didn't have much time anyway. Just went on the visits and returned to the hotel area.slmkhoo:

Business trip lagi better to travel alone. Don't need to make small talk
I usually order room service when on biz trip alone
If travelling with colleagues, the expectation is to meet for dinner. Sian -
