Travel is a challenge,especially hotel room with no one to share it with! Internet can assist with passing time,but prefer to explore,place,people etc! Enjoying ones own company helps ,me time ,Chillax ,hot bath etc!gym ,spa! Reading without kids is a good send,shopping is another sure you are familiar! Obviously it can be a lonely ,but it's an adventure it is what it is!!

I always enjoy travelling for work, but the nature of my industry means that I'm always travelling with a couple of others, usually friends, so playtime's always fun. And I tend to slip into local timezones fairly easily. Besides, with work and kids etc I don't ever actually get holidays, so travelling for work is as close to a vacation as I ever get. Airline food is at once disgusting and oddly fascinating, like squeezing pimples (did I write that or just think it?), and being strapped into a seat for hours does wear thin. I find the last hour of any flight completely intolerable. It doesn't matter if it's a 90 minute flight or a 24 hour flight, the last 60 minutes is excruciating. It beats long distance bus trips though, which are a whole circle of hell to themselves. I'm sure you can find yourself a gorgeous man somewhere there though Lily (although I admit 3.45am might not be the best hour for that).

My work travel is not quite as exotic as Indochina as it normally involves trials in regional Queensland but the principles are the same. Freedom from the child but missing her and wondering what she is doing to her grand parents.Independence but being so exhausted at the end of the day to do anything but read for tomorrow and go to sleep.Eating out but eating alone.Seeing only the airport, the hotel and the route in between.

I'm in Adelaide for work, a series of interminable meetings. One of the problems with Darwin is it's four hour flight to anywhere (but only two to Bali!). I like Adelaide pubs, but it gets a bit old wandering in and out of them on your own, so I reckon I'll treat myself to room service, Fox Sports (which I don't have at home) and Wild Turkey. I doubt that my meetings will be full of hot nymphomaniacs, but I can only hope..... - Posted from rhpmobile

and I've had them lonely moments you talk about but rarely. I don't mind my own company occasionly and if I need company I usually go out and find it.. Being in a foreign land and out of your usual time zone can be crap, but once adjusted' it's fine.. I think a female would find it harder..

I suppose because this is still a relatively new concept. I'm really starting to enjoy my own company and I have no qualms about going into a restaurant, pub or club on my own, no matter which country I'm in. I usually just talk to whoever is close by, I probably drive people mad, but that's just me:) Lilly, I hope that the rest of your trip is successful and travel safe beautiful. Xxx

I could so relate to your topic. I know how you feel I travel once a month for work, mainly overseas, but I still after all these years, love it. But no matter where I go, always the loneliness follows I keep in contact via the social media so that way my friends can share in my experiences and make comments and that eases any homesickness and because my hours are long I rarely miss anyone when I got to bed at night as I am usually exhausted. But my down time I am out visiting the sites and shopping. I never waste my time as I never know if I will be back again I do miss not having not having a partner to share in the experience of the culture of where I am or visit sights. Maybe one day Travel safe Mlle Lilyorchid

Yes, solitary travel can be brilliant and great and we can make the most of it. You are such a great fun gal and so warm, gorgeous and open, who would not want to chat with you. I will fly back tomorrow night and back to Melb on Friday Am. The only thing I complain about travelling on my own is if I have a hard terrible day at work in a strange place, sometimes, I just want to hear a familiar voice or someone I can whinge to or laugh with or share the special moments of discovering new things about new culture. simple stuff really. At times, I don't have time to appreciate the culture nor shop as it is all about work. Anyhow, I come home and settle for two weeks and then do it all over again (Philippines next). Wish I could take one of my boys with me. they make me laugh and they are fun to talk to. I do enjoy my space and being pampered but the downside is the loneliness of living out of a suitcase at times and the constant grind. at work. I always appreciate that feeling of coming home and seeing my kids, friends and family, specially after an overseas posting. And the quality of coffee in Melbourne... to die for.Goodluck to the Sydney Meet and Greet. sounds like a great turnout. Yeahay!!! Sooo jealous..,.

Lily i know what you mean about travelling. I travel to europe with work every 3 weeks and while it's nice staying in beautiful hotels and cities it can get tiring and lonely. I usually can't wait to get back to brisbane and just get down to my local pub for a few beers. It's hard to beat australia and aussie women in my opinion.

I usually travel for pleasure? Fortunately... I like to travel on my own as I tend to meet more people. I also drive travel companions nuts as I like to go to out of the way places and spend ages trying to get unique photos of people and places and it tends to take time. Silva xxx

I feel you did not deserve the tirade of objections dumped on you...Christ, I've responded with far worse oppositional views than that...lol.....The comments to you were, in my view anyway, unfair, judgmental and waaayyyy over the top, for such a short sentence. This site gets very personal at times, so don't let the attacks bother you... You are entitled to yr own opinion after all, and need not apologize for, or justify yr thoughts. . I did not see yr comment as being venomous or judgmental at all. There are some sensitive wee souls on site, many who seem to have mutual friends who immediately jump to the OP's defence..

Apologies accepted. it just came across as such. All good.. I know it may be seen as self-indulgent in the bigger scheme of things but still a very valid experience among a whole lot of people. And glad to know I am not alone in this. We address our own issues first and understand ourselves better before we are able to love or share ourselves effectively with others. There will always be problems in the world, and not here to solve them all. Lol. Far from it as that would be narcissistic of me to think I could be the world's answer to solving world peace. and hunger. But I will help out a bit at a time with what I can. I get you. But sometimes, nice to share experiences and see if there are people like me who gets me. Makes the situation a lot easier to handle. Like Dr. Who's eternal search for any of other living timelords left in the Universe...but that is for another forum thread. Stay safe mate.

Quoting 'SteamedPunk' There are a lot of people in the world at the moment who would kill to be in this position...! Coming from someone who has not yet had the opportunity to go overseas (an admission that these days in our society can garner a reaction similar to if you had just admitted that you have genital warts), and who after uni will be actively looking for a job that will allow me to do so. I suppose it's a case of the grass always being greener etc. Also I often prefer to be on my own so I don't know that I would have as much of an issue with the loneliness aspect of travelling a lot (which I recognise is a valid issue for some). I too think you were jumped on a bit unnecessarily for your comment.

You are a crack up. Lol Your posts in many threads, in my opinion, are quite bitter, negative and angry. Why? Oh, on second thoughts, don't have to explain that to me as I really dont care and my intellect are far less superior than yours and I may not be able to understand what you are saying. I will just stick to reading my comic books. Lol. regarding us being judgmental... Hmmmm ... Pot calling kettle black?. Maybe we make friends here because we are nice and positive? I like positive intelligent happy people. I dont take the forum seriously, been here only over 6 months and far more astute and insightful than you perceive me to be. Cheers and keep having fun.

I have just read this reply to me, after sending you a heartfelt reply in thtread.: "When I was Young". I stated there that I thought you were clever, witty, funny and articulate...I stand by this viiew, but NOT that i like yr stylr, or you being unmanipulative.. However, I am not going to spew a whole list of insults or derogatory words yr way....I just can't be bothered.... .I have every right to defend ?Punked, as I do agree with his viewpoint, and feel he has a right to state it without being shut down.... Basically, I am impervious to yr narrow and negative viewpoint of me. I neither seek or desire yr approval... I know who I am, I know my personality traits; both good and bad, I know of my goals, dreams, friends and above all else.....I KNOW I am funny, witty, positive, caring, considerate and a very loyal, loving and honest friend..... I don't make friends easily (surprise surprise!!!). I hear you say.... But when I do, I hold them close to my heart, and will do anything for them, and they trust my integrity, my word, my loyalty and my love Yes, I like others on this site, i am a multi-faceted petson, i can be forthright, sometimes negative or hostile, but I don't suffer fools gladly, and will give 100% of mysrlf when trust is gained... I am clumsy, uncoordinated, sing and dance badly, can't play any sports well, am shit at mathematics, my driving record is abysmal, have a spiritual wall up......Need I go on LilyOrchid...???? Or would you prefer to message me a long list of my supposedly awful traits in a pool private memo..?? Whatever...I Don't Care..!!! Life is to short for forum dramas..... As we all do I have a life outside of here, with beautiful half Asian children, a loving partber, good friends, hobbies, and a fulfilling career which I studied long and hard for... Good luck to you LilyOrchid.....I was really beginning to rethink my views on rregular forum members, such ad yourself....some seem quite lovely, and I only hope judgments about me are not set in stone. This is a forum, not reality...I think we call need to remember that...!! - Posted from rhpmobile

As a truck driver, I spend my days and nights with bare minimal contact with anyone. Days starting at 7am and finishing usually at about 12 days out of 14. I see my kids Saturdays and Sundays every second weekend. The other weekends when I don't have them I am usually at truckstops where the only face to face contact I have with people is when I buy dinner. This has been my life for the last 12-14 months and the prior 4 years to that I would spend a month at a time away from my kids, family and friends; with my career spanning about 10 years in total of experiencing the exact feelings you were experiencing at the time you wrote this thread. There is a few differences though with my situation. I don't have a place of my own to go back to; there's no warm hotel room, and there's not a great deal of availability to interact socially without taxi fares that can be as exorbitant as $250 - yes I have paid that much before as there were no trains servicing my area - in order to meet up with friends..... As for sexual interactions lol well I bet you get the idea....so the lube comes out and the iPad and some porn.... What goes through my mind with such long periods of isolation?? Well that changes depending on fatigue levels; but it's not always pretty to be honest, as I'm quite conflicted in the sense that while I long to interact with people both socially and sexually I dislike the neurotic turmoil of having to readjust into the isolation after such liaisons are over that I tend to maintain that isolation in order to keep myself from experiencing the sudden depression that sets in from being isolated again.... That all said you do have a far greater appreciation for conversation and connection with people in place of the physical - not even too sure if it works when others play with it these days lol - with my job that has taken me as far west as Kalgoorlie, and as far north as Townsville. I hope this answers your questions and provides perspective without it sounding like too much of a pity party, but I think so many people are intoxicated by choice and availability that they elevate themselves onto a cloud of "entitlement." :) - Posted from rhpmobile

My humble apologies if I have deeply offended you. Very naughty of me.. I did.not intend nor throw personal insults at you. My post states what I just felt in my opinion of the tone of your post. At whatever emotional state you are in As i perceived it at that time i read it. I did not label you anything except on your reference to us 'regular' posters that we are judgmental. well we all are judgmental. Refer to some of your previous posts. Anyway, as i was clumsily explaining, i was targeting the behavior I see not you as as person because I dont know you. Obviously i was way off the target. I am sorry. No dramas here too.

I used to travel for work quite often. Frequent, short trips get to be a real drag, especially in these days of overzealous airport "security", but a longer stay - a month or more - in one location can be fantastic if you get the chance to look around a bit and connect with some of the local people. Or if you can take an amenable member of the appropriate sex with you...

I deeply feel for those who are FIFO... I'd like to hear from some who are FIFO and what it must be like? Nights must be especially lonely when they have families or loved ones waiting for their return. Day-in-day-out working, groundhog days.....sometimes nearly a month away. That would be a very lonely job. Foxy

Looking back, it seems most of my working life has involved travelling. The first 30 years wasn't comfortable, often (okay, nearly all the damn time) was in the back of some military transport aircraft or if we were lucky, in a chartered civilian carrier (cattle class for all!) heading to god knows where and wondering when I was going to be able to come home. It really because a way of life, and often at short notice (less that 24 hours), it did make watching the 6pm news on TV very interesting! Now day as a mere civilian, I get to travel in style, all overseas trips are business class, mainly so I can work the day I arrive (apparently you arrive well rested when sitting in the pointy end of the aircraft lol). My two gripes (yes they can be called First World) is I hate dining alone so I tend to eat in the room of whatever hotel I am in. I can't help it, I just think sitting in a restaurant by yourself is one of the loneliest things one can do. The other gripe is when arriving home. You clear customs, immigration, and wander out. I see all these people waiting for their loved ones, and no one there is around to met me, I just grab my bag and sulk off to the taxi rank. Yes occasionally my daughter is there or whomever I am seeing at the time, I think that is why when no one is there I feel it more. Mooka

Usually, when I travel, it is from plane to plane, and running to different gates. Train to New Orleans, plane to Saint Louis (but I am heading to Jacksonville!), 40 minutes there, then on to Jacksonville. then a company truck picks me up and throws me on to a boat to Puerto Rico... to go through the Bermuda Triangle. but when I DO have time on my hands, i am a bit boring(just want to relax), it is PIZZA in the hotel, laying cross ways on a kings size bed and not worrying about a freak wave throwing me out of bed, taking a shower without one hand hanging on to a rail on the wall, and watching news, history, or an action-adventure of some kind. but that is just me

I was the first to say as such so I have not jumped on the bully bandwagon and I do not if I have felt enough has been said. I have also just acknowledged his reply and think it is much more palatable than his first insensitive remark. Sometimes peoples comments are not immediately posted always as well so you cannot see what some have said before you when you post which when some people say the same thing, it comes across as an attack when they are all approved. I think you are the wee sensitive one if you think that is bullying, and I have been there to back you up on occasion when you have felt attacked too. Yes, I know Lily and chat to her as I would you or anyone else I have met on here, didn't think it was a crime to make friends but I would have said the same thing if it were you posted the thread.

What has that got to do with the situation of feeling lonely in my travels. Are yuou saying that just because I sleep in a decent hotel and get fed that loneliness of travel should not exists? And that feeling of loneliness only confined to people who are having it hard, and therefore other experiences like mine does not count? Bah, nice of you to minimize my feelings and my experiences. Thanks. I empathized in your situation of isolation, the feelings of loneliness as you have described. Even pity. A dark pic indeed. Yes it puts things in perspective but it is just geography, all geography my dear man. The loneliness looms and does not pick it bedfellows. You missed the point of the post and to encourage Steamed punk in stirring the pot is insentive and negative. But I do not know what goes on in your head and will dare not ask. It does sound to me like some resentment exists but it is your choice to feel that way. You ahve posted your opinion and thank you for your input. I may not agree with some attitude but hey, life goes on and not my cross to bear. Loneliness to me is a real feeling. Primal as it stands. It happens to everybody, everywhere in the world. Some manage it well (with great friends and stable family support) for some it leads to depression and even suicides. So tell me, is depression the domain of third world, first world or any emerging economies in between? I am not aware there is such a thing but would like to learn about it. For me, Loneliness is universal. As I said, it does not discriminate and does not pick its bedfellows.
