Need a vacation… But how to vacate by one's self?

[ForeverDoneParticipant 2928]

Living in the NYC area, everything is $$$. I wanted to go to a beach to relax and unwind a bit. Anywhere within a 100 miles seems to be quite pricey. I am thinking a beach town. Any suggestions? Also, since I’m on my own, how does one travel on their own? It’s a bit different when you don’t have someone else to go with. Kinda boring when one goes by themselves… No?

I think, maybe learning to enjoy your own company is best given your situation.Maybe ,its time to focus on what you enjoy doing with and without other people.

Travel , in my opinion is about making a plan of what you would like to expierience in the locations you plan to travel to and really it up to you. Some travel to visit local restaurants, the culture, different shopping expieriences like buying region specific clothing, the atmosphere. However much you can afford depends on how many places you’ll visit or what you intend to spend cashh on. Its really up to you. You have the power.I say , have at whatever you want. One life means it has to mean something to you.

I rented a cabin on a lake by myself once. Two weeks alone on a quiet lake.
Try it.

Well if you consider excitement to be “can we pull over, I have to go to the bathroom again”. You have to travel with a woman to appreciate the solitude.

Ain’t nothing like an open road with no map and no plan, as far as I’m concerned.

I once planed a 7-day solo road trip which I wanted to do for 4 YEARS…… and I finally did it. A female visitor was visiting in town and invited her to come along. By day two, she was pouty face at dinner and I had to tell her to knock it off.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Dont limit yourself to 100 miles. Try to find some nature. It is quite inexpensive.

"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.” Quote from Arthur Shopenhauer, 17th century philosopher

That depends. What do you enjoy doing?

If you enjoy cooking, go to a region that has food that you like and take some cooking classes.
Or if you enjoy surfing, go to a surfing beach – could be as close as Brooklyn (couple places that’ll do lessons) or farther out – El Salvador has great surfing & is dirt cheap.

Yea. At the store!hah
I dont fish, but lots of canoeing, swimming, steaks on the grille, loons and Northern lights.

Not boring at all. Liberating. Ever wanted to do something on a vacation but the other person you’re travelling with (ESPECIALLY a woman) will have their own plans requiring you to “compromise” or complain they’re tired or some bulls~~~? No need for that when you travel alone.

Me, I like to go to a city I always wanted to check out, make a quick list of stuff to do beforehand and do it at my leisure, if I feel so inclined to do it at all.

You can go for seven days and spend all of it sightseeing and checking items off your list, or do none of it and lounge around the entire time. Either way, it counts as a win because whatever you wound up doing, it was what you wanted.

Northern lights!!!???So lucky you got to see one of the Wonders of the world. Man bro, that sounds like one heck of a time. I’ve seen pictures but, what exactly are they like?

Its hard to descibe.
Kind of looks like an indoor pool, with the light of waves reflecting on the cieling.I think they were greenish in color, but a very long time ago. That in combination of loons howling is remarkabke.They comunicate with other loons on other lakes miles away. One of my most memorable life experiences.
Up north in Maine.

Or as Old Bill Mg and I would say..Down East.

Lol, nice.

Something about the natural world. Its definitely on my bucket list to see them. I can see why you spent two weeks up there, Man, luckyyyyyy~~~

Now if there had been a woman there, instead of haveing peace and tranquilety to take this all in, Ide be aswering questions like where is this relationship going?
Can we go shopping tommoro?

Women ruin vacations just like they ruin holidays.

Try it alone.

Discover yourself.

Personally I absolutely HATE vacations even worse than I hate shopping! They’re an expensive pain in the ass. When I want to get away, I go up into nature for a while or (more frequently), I sleep for DAYS on end doing absolutely NOTHING except eating, drinking, sleeping, s~~~ting, and p~~~ing. Spending days in the solitude of my own bedroom with nothing but my own thoughts (no TV or other distractions) does wonders for me. I’ll literally just lie on my back and stare at the ceiling for hours on end with nothing but my own thoughts before drifting back to sleep again and having vivid dreams. At the end of all that, I feel much better and more refreshed!

Talk to Greg Honda about his trip to America. Maybe you could visit other MGTOW brothers?

If you’ve got time and want to spend a while alone without breaking the bank then jump on a plane and get OUT of there!

100 miles is not going to cut it.

Head to South America, Caribbean, South East Asia, Africa…. Almost anywhere and your dollar will go a LOT further. OK it costs a bit in the flight to get somewhere and might take a while, but once you step off the plane you can live like a king very cheaply – so if you have a couple of weeks to unwind I’d recommend escaping the ‘civilised’ world and seeing where you end up.

When you cut things back to basics you dont need much:
– Couple of changes of clothes
– Credit card
– Phone with roaming internet (and an appropriate charger)
– Passport

Once you have those the world is your oyster and you’d be surprised how much of the world you can see. If you want to sit on a beach – then find a deserted island somewhere in the Philippines and drink chilled beer in a hammock whilst reading a book all day, or go for a trek into the snow capped Andes for a bit of solitude (followed by beer, Peruvian panpipe music and tales of adventure when you return to the small town) – or gang up with a bunch of people in Nairobi and go for a drive through a big game park and see Lions and Wildebeast mixing it up….

There’s a whole world out there – why restrict yourself to NY State? You are free to go wherever the hell you want!

When I was a younger man I back packed a lot and stayed at youth hostels on the cheap.

Great places to meet people from all over and do some communal cooking.

Also a Red Pill eye opener for me as to the slutty nature of women when they’re away from home!

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

[ForeverDoneParticipant 2928]

Need the passport.. Thinking to maybe take a trip to Canada for a bit. After Summer, maybe to Florida or Jamaica. I just need to relax and blow off steam. Between the divorce and dealing with these women… A man can go insane…

I’ve done extensive traveling with my ex wife and it was always a pain in the ass. We need to do this and we need to do that. Get up, we’re late for this and late for that. Fuuuuuuuuck that. When I go on vacation I want to relax and do what the f~~~ I want and what I can afford.
Total mind opener when I went on my first vacation by myself. It was so awesome that I swore off ever vacationing with someone else again. No agenda, no deadlines, just seeing what I want to see and doing what I want to do in a new refreshing place.
You haven’t vacationed until you spend a whole day sitting at an outdoor cafe on a cobblestone alley in Palermo, Sicily with a great cigar and a long string of beers. You check out girls asses and comment on them together with the locals. It’s amazing how much we have in common despite a language barrier. I’ have never laughed more in my life or been more relaxed. Then you take a nap at your hotel and go out for a late night dinner. You stay out as late as you want and drink as much as you want. No nagging, snide looks or anything.

ALWAYS VACATION BY YOURSELF!!!!!

Anyway communication, real open communication, is not wanted or even required in a relationship. Women cannot handle fully open and honest communication, plus most perceive it as a weakness on the part of a man. All that is required is catering to her whims, and even then nothing is certain. There is no way to be sure of having a successful relationshit with a woman. MGTaoist

I haven’t really done vacation by myself, but used to travel on business quite a bit. It does feel weird doing things by yourself, but you get used to it rather quickly.

Out for dinner, then eat at the bar. The bartender might have interesting conversation. Do a lot of sight seeing and people watching, particular if the people and places are unfamiliar to you.

This is also a great chance to get out of your comfort zone a bit. You are by yourself, so nothing comes back with you that you don’t want to (except STDs). If your introverted, maybe start up a conversation with strangers.

I also wonder if something like ‘City Slickers’ is available, where you have planned activities with a group that you can get to know.

edit: I have vacationed with a female friend that I had no romantic interest in. That worked out well since we did stuff together when we want and did our own thing when we wanted. There was no expectations whatsoever.

Ok. Then do it.
