Still go to Bali solo after GF won't go?
I was about to go with my GF to bali for 3 weeks upcomming saturday. However, we are currently on a break. My gut says to just go to Bali solo, however i am not entirely sure. *Maybe good to mention that she is currently also recovering from something that came up last week, so even if we were together it would be very unlikely that we would still go.* I have done some solo travel, but that is usually to cities (Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Istanbul etc) where you can pretty much fill your day and always have a cafe to chill at. However, i am not entirely sure about Bali. I did that last year with her and in my opinion it is always better to go together to a beach, relax, sit at a bar and sightsee on a scooter or hike a mountain together. It is also for practical reasons, such as someone watching the stuff at the beach when swimming or going to the toilet. Also when someone is sick, one can always get some medicine or whatever at a pharmacy. I could go to a hostel and book a private room, but for some reason i am not entirely sure. In my opinion, the hostel is usually dominated by the drunk brit or loud aussies, and if you're not into partying (anymore, used to party 24/7 when i was younger) you are left out. My biggest fear is having to spend the whole 3 weeks alone.. I am inclined to just skip my 3 week holiday and continue working, perhaps we can do a week in August or something if we end up together in Curacao or something of that nature. But something in my says to just stick it to her and her break and just go anyways, even tho i might not like it entirely. I don't have to worry about tickets or anything, since i am flying on airline benefits and can go whenever i want to without reservation. What is your opinion?
