If you are single with no kids, who do you go on holiday with?

Friends, family members, friends who travel with business and I tag along for a few days to keep them company. Book cottage and have open house inviting people on a rota

I have kids but I’m a single parent and the kids are getting old, so soon I’ll be in a similar boat.

I do love going on holiday alone when I get the chance and have also been with friends. I would and have happily gone with other family too.

What I’d really like is more money for holidays of all kinds! 😂

Where do I sign mine up?!

Sometimes solo, sometimes with family or friends and sometimes with a small group tour - can vouch for Intrepid and G Adventures - done lots of trips with both and always had a great time!

If you’re active Neilson-type holidays also can help you meet other active people through activities.

Also, I always wanted to do a boot camp in Mallorca or a yoga retreat in Portugal

I used to go away with friends, occasionally one in a relationship would be up for it, sometimes one would be dating a teacher or something. Or my wider family including their kids. There is always someone who is newly single or free

Other single friends. And sometimes friends with kids and we've all gone away in a group including the kids. Did have a plan for a weekend away with a friend who was going to leave the kids at home too, but we've not yet round to planning anything.

Sounds like you may still be at the kids a bit too small to leave stage though. Or bring and not have to cater to toddler naptimes etc.

I've done :

All inclusive 5* fly and flop - always with a gym, adult pool, beach, so there is enough to do - 5 days is a good length

Holiday with single friend and her small child (similar to above)

Activity type holidays - pilates, yoga, hiking, cycling type things

This / next year, am doing a fly and flop before Christmas, as its so nice to get some winter sun before the actual winter. If I had funds I would find a group skiing trip, but not next year. I'm thinking of doing a year of a few shorter European breaks next year, then another fly and flop. After that I would like to get more adventurous, I have a group cycle trip that I saw that looked great. I'd also love to do a tour of Japan as it looks so different. I would also love to do Iceland as I booked that for my 40th then ....Covid.

I'm lucky that I have family in a nice part of the UK so can easily holiday there for very little cost. I also travelled a lot in my 20s with friends.

I've also had my eye on home swapping type things as a way of travelling at lower cost.

Last 4 years... (I'm 41)

Overseas
1 with my parents, sister & her 4 kids - week long family holiday, Europe, geared around the kids
2 with my parents - they went longer and I joined for 3-4 days. One was a European beach, the other a US city
1 with my sister, her husband and 5 kids - 4 nights, Europe
1 with a friend, 4 night city break, Europ
1 by myself, 2 night city break, Europe

UK
1 visiting friend, staying AirBnB, 2 nights

Other annual leave I'm just at home. I'm going to try and do another solo break this year but I find things like the evenings and meals hard. I can spend all day in a museum absolutely so happy, but can feel really lonely in the evenings. I'm not sure I'll ever get a long holiday (week plus) again for this reason.

Me too and not just a weekend. I’ve gone for 3 weeks before. Admittedly the kid is a teenager. But I like backpacking-around-Namibia type holidays and DH and DD like pool-beach-a/c type. So I go with my female friend.

I’m going on my own next month but have done a couple of group holidays that I have really enjoyed.

With my dog.

Yes, see above.

Tunisia
Egypt
Greece
Turkey
Caribbean

I’d love to hear more about this!! Where have you been? Did you get things at an enormous discount because it was so last minute?

It certainly did. Admittedly, this was a while ago, but I had some all inclusive holidays for hardly any money at all.

I also did some "accommodation allocated on arrival" trips which didn't bother me either, and again got fabulous deals.

Think all inclusive in Tunisia for sub £200 for a week, including flights. Ditto Greece.

I'm single with no children or friends, I either holiday on my own or have previously been on group holidays. It can be lonely but for me so is being in a house on my own but on holiday I get a change of scenery and depending on the destination some sunshine.

I go with friends (whoever's available or suggests something!), family such as my mum, or on my own.
Holidays alone for me tend to be road trips in the UK or Ireland. Holidays with others tend to be shortish breaks. I take what I can get (usually enjoyable though!) and don't have any particularly regular holiday patterns.

Does that work?

I holiday twice year with my best friend and we have always done that even when I was married and we took her son when he was of an age to come with us.
I have a long weekend away every year with a group of girlfriends most of whom are married.

sometimes I will take a neice with me or holiday alone.
I love holidays

Another vote for exodus/explore/intrepid group holidays. Also Dragoman are back running trips if you have a bit more time
Depending on the trip you can join in with what you want to. Ive always found at least one person to pal up with

I’m another one who uses Google Maps alit, I don’t have a great sense of direction!

Whatever your hobby is, do that somewhere else in the world in a group.

mine is swimming.
so this company https://www.swimtrek.com/ is perfect. These kinds of holidays are perfect if you like your own space too, as you can dip in and out of company as you like

I am dyspraxic,get lost all the time but manage!

I go on my own. I'm an introvert with health issues and prefer my own space and company.
