Solo Grey Nomads

Sophie · Sophie

Hi there In April next year I will be 50. I am hoping after a great party I am finally going to go on the road. I am fit, healthy, and well travelled, however, have never travelled solo in this manner, I have done solo trips where I met a group and a guide at the destination. I am saving like crazy and hope to h...

Hi everyone out there, I just discovered this site and am asking how it is going on a journey alone, or in my case with two elderly but fit dogs. I have worked all my life as a nurse and now I am 60 and feel a great pull to just leave it all behind and drive into the center and to the west of Australia while I still...

Hey guys I have so enjoyed chatting to you all. You are amazing. But now it has made me feel like I cannot wait 1 or 2 years to be free. Is there anyone out there that would like a travelling companion? I am clean and tidy, a Nurse, so I can work anywhere en route to pay my way, a writer too, not a bad cook at...

I am putting this post on here because I think it is mainly we solo's who feel this kind of vulnerability! Headed into the Grampians area and thought I would stay at Lake Lonsdale. Red tick in the book! Got to the boat ramp, down a obviously disused road to find just toilets sitting there and a boat ramp to a...

Good beer and tucker at the Hilton. Then, weather permitting, acro...

G'day all - although most of the Nomadic wheels I see on my travels are four or more - sometimes many more - I'm a member of the 2-wheeled variety. I ride a Honda ST1300 and put in somewhere around 20000 km each year in outback touring - mainly staying in camp and tourist parks along the way. The camping gear...

In the '70's I lived in Melbourne for about 5 years and hated it. Weather, Pollution, Weather, Traffic, Weather, Strikes, but most of all, Weather. Well, the last week hasn't made me change my mind one bit. I was planning to leave today anyway, but had planned to do the Great Ocean Road, but I just couln...

Good God I have been wittering on about doing this for years! I thought I had it sussed, I thought I had a good idea, but no, I have NO idea!! Having read lots of messages and banters, and queries, especially from other women such as Bubs and Cruising Granny and Bamphoto, I realise that despite how many Gl...

The Solo's has had some issue, and I think we should correct them. Is the Solo's thread needed - what do we need that is not accomplished in the main. For me, I feel uncomfortable, on socialising with couples - the odd one out. I need to know there are others that wish to travel, and will do so on their own. I w...

Hi everyone and belated happy New Year. We have been away in NZ for a couple of weeks and I must say I was amazed at the beauty and variety found there. Having spent a few days in Auckland around the notrth shore the ocean scenery is very spectacular. We then travelled to the Corromandel Penninsula...

Bubs made mention of writing up the trip. I think that if we feel comfy writing about trips both long and short, it's a great thing to do, almost theraputic in a way as it really makes one think about the people you meet, places you visit etc and great to read again later too. I started writing about my trip...
