The first time I've travelled alone

[JavelinParticipant 167]

Hi gents, I’m back for 1 weak Hiking alone in Auvergne around Le Puy-en-Velay, France.
It was all about climbing old volcanoes all day. It was f~~~ing fantastic. I was so free. Only myself, my mind and the path.
My bag was only 3,5kg (8 pounds) 7 underwear, 3 pair of socks, 3 shirts, 1 short, 1 pants, 1 light coat, and one book ” Captain Hornblower”(a book about a English navy Captain during Napoleonic wars), a little knife and a light.

Since it was the beggining of the hiking season, I was alone Everyday, every night. (Beside the hotel where I stayed the last day in Le Puy)

Coming back in the “civilised world” was weird. People running everywhere like chicken, dumb bitches on their phones, (btw french women are no more what they used to be, they are getting fat and ugly. I saw some of thoses landwhales followed by cucks/mangina waiting their turn to f~~~ the cow. Kinda strange imo)

It was the first time I travelled so far alone (850km from home), by car with strangers, and then by myself with my flat feets.
I was stressed out during the travel, but when I began the first step, I felt so relieved, so free… All the stress I had was gone.

I’ve done 180km in 6 days, and took some rest the last day.
I’m back in Brussels since yesterday, and I cannot wait to go back again, for a longer period this time.

I want to thank you guys. Without lurking here, without your stories, I don’t think I would have done that alone. I even want to thank my old blue-pilled self. Without him I wouldn’t be here.
I never had the guts to do things by myself. Now I feel that I can do what I want, without this fear of constant failure.
Every step I missed, every rock I stumbled on, made me realize that even if it’s hard sometimes, just go forward and move on.

For the people who are still asking. Yep, Mgtow saves lives. This is not some guru bulls~~~, it’s a philosophy.

After the rage come the peace. And God it feels good.

Have a nice day.

I'm bad at finding signature. So here is my signature.

Quite inspirational. Thanks for your story. I’m looking forward to taking a similar trip in the Blueridge Mountains soon.

Awesome for you you brother. Congratulations on having the courage to do it. Don’t stop there. Plan you next trip, give yourself something to look forward to.

Peace is > piece.

Great post! Congratulations on grasping freedom. I always travel alone. It’s, in my opinion, the best way to travel. You never need to concede to group think. Whether it is a group of two, or more, YOU ARE YOUR OWN BEST MAN! What you figure is always right for you, and only you.

Again, great post and very inspirational. Thanks for the positive story.

Winning!

Sounds like a great trip! I’ve been to the beach solo once, and it was the best time I’ve ever had on vacation. Having nobody to answer to is quite an amazing feeling.

This weekend I’m going for about a 24 hour overnight hike in SE Ohio. Never done a solo backpacking trip but I’m looking forward to it.

I agree with you, if it wasn’t for the brothers’ here, I probably wouldn’t have even thought about going on a solo vacation. Now i’ll only go on solo vacations.

Traveling alone is the only way for me to experience a true vacation. I remember the days when I vacationed with the c~~~. Always s~~~ that we had to do. The calendar was packed with “must-see” events and what not. All I wanted to do was kick back, light a cigar, pour myself a scotch and unwind from the everyday stress. But NO, we had to do all the touristy crap, on a time schedule. I know this is cliche but I really needed a vacation from the one I was coming home from.
Since traveling by myself, I cannot explain how relaxed I am and how tremendously wonderful it is to vacation again.

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

Congratulations. This is why I climb. It’s always gratifying to hear it from another man who gets it.

It’s also why I ride. No passengers. No traffic. Just me and the next curve.

Got a motorcycle yet?

Nice read. My first alone travel is still the best adventure of my life.

That’s awesome Javelin. I’ve traveled all over North America solo on motorcycle, occasionally riding a bit with another solo traveler I would meet.

I highly recommend keeping a daily journal during your travels, recording your thoughts and feelings. Reading it later in life will bring you back to those moments.

Off topic, but reminds me of conversation I had with an American Independent Journalist in Berlin.

He was covering the war in Bosnia and stayed in Berlin between assignments. He said the thing that struck him was the banality of normal civilised society. In the war zone he felt alive as death could come at any moment. He said people would be direct and have clarity of purpose in the war zone. They were totally aware of their thoughts, actions and possible consequences at all times.

Back in Berlin he found it hard to readjust to the petty concerns of daily life. What seems important in modern society is laughably bizzare when faced with the possibility of serious injury or death at any moment. It’s like the warzone was reality and everday life was like being the only sane man in a madhouse.

You step outside of the peaceful herd and become aware of who you are. You don’t know yourself until you are seperated from the masses and their customs. The bitching and chitter chatter dies away and you become aware of your own voice in the world.

I could tell he was disturbed by what he had seen, but I envied his experience of Life at the Limit.

It's Time to get Wise

Dam Right. That’s the way I travel. Go anywhere you want. Do what ever you want. Stay out late as much you want. Your own boss when you travel alone.

Congratulations on your first solo trip!

In just two days I’m doing the same thing — a solo trip into wilderness. I’m going backpacking two different Arizona Wilderness Areas in the Sonoran Desert. And this time I’m not even taking a tent. Just a tarp. I want to be outside the entire time with no walls around me, not even thin tent walls.

Solo trips are nothing new to me, and I always enjoy them. Still, I’d rather go with a buddy to share the experience with.
