To clarify for others, Yes, I DO have mates and I'm not a total sad sack, but tbh, my mates dont just happen to have a spare 5 grand or so and the ability to drop everything and sod off for 3 weeks to a month somewhere 
I have indeed travelled alone in the pat many times with no problems, but this time I simply fancied some suggestions of trips that were specifically designed for solo travellers. (Like Kanes link - No Solo price Supplements etc)
I have cruised before, and thats OK solo because they put you at a dining table with other Solo passengers etc, however I dont have all the formal wear required for a cruise these days nor do I wish to have to buy it just to use once  |
The tour I went on made me pay about an extra $150 because I was by myself and they almost always had me in a double room. I could have saved that if I wanted to be paired up with some other solo traveler, but I didn't want that.
The group I was in had about 20 people and it was a mix of single, married, and dating couples. There were some people that kept to themselves and nobody bothered then and there were others that ended up forming little "cliques" that they mostly hung out with. I spent most of my time with three other people, another solo guy and two girls who were friends and were traveling together. We had a blast and I ended up hooking up with one of the girls for most of the trip. The other guy in our little clique was 26 and still a virgin (not by choice, he told a funny story about how it is just a thing now and seems to be keeping him from meeting women). On the last night of the trip the other girl in our clique decided to throw the guy a little mercy and took his virginity. Lucky dude got to see the pyramids and lose his virginity to a hot Asian nurse.
