Probably cliche, but I would have to say Venice Italy. As I walked along the canals at night with a cool mist rising from the water, it was almost ghostly. The ancient old buildings, lit with soft red light showing through the windows,quite voices just around the corner. The gentle rocking of an unoccupied tethered gondola, the tinkling of silverware from a nearby restaurant.

I felt sadness that I had no hand to hold. But those are the moments in life that fill your soul with the sweet longing of a future love. And sweet it is indeed.

I am lucky and have been able to travel around this wonderful planet a great deal. Many times I have stood overlooking a river, or on the pavement of some great city, or watching the sunset on a beach and have wished I had someone to share it with.

Where is the most romantic place you have been alone and perhaps one day you will take your newly found partner to?


For me - it is hard to say, but I have two places where she and I will certainly go:

1. I once sat on a beach in Northland, New Zealand and watched the sun drop with the waves laping on the shore and the whole sky went ruby red. I had a small campfire going and a cold glass of wine - that was a deep heartfelt sigh that I could not share it.

2. Sat in the Nairobi National Park as evening came, listening to the animals and birds and again the sun sinking. A cold G&T in hand and all the hairs on my neck standing up due to the wonderful experience of listening to the wild heart of Africa.

Can't wait to read yours.
hi Rob....the two places that you list sound very interesting. I would love to travel to alot of places, but I would also love to have someone with me to enjoy them with. Sitting on a beach would be my first choice...listening to the waves and hearing the seagulls go over , watching the sun go down and seeing the reflection in the water!
Have you ever heard of alpenglow? that is when the setting sun shines on the snow of mountains and turns them to a pink glow...hence the name...alpenglow. I live up here in the north country of New Hampshire and love to see the alpenglow on the local mountains...and the one that we love to watch is Mount Washington or Mount Lafayette. Sit and watch that and share a thermos of hot chocolate!
Hope to hear that you might of seen this.
take care!

I'm a pretty intrepid traveller. There isn't a place on earth I wouldn't want to see. Love being off the beaten path AND doing the touristy things. Not an 'all-inclusive' kinda girl really but will book a week somewhere to rest from the last adventure vacation -for example. I don't count business travel as travel because I barely make it to the hotel pool or gym, let alone visit the sites!
There are knock-you-over-with-a-feather romantic spots everywhere I have been, but to those who claim ALL sunsets are the same? They need to sit on the beach in Hawaii. The spirit of all the honeymooners mixed in with the salty air, the hues or orange and the sound of the waves will give you goosebumps! And like me, you'll wonder what the heck you were thinking going there alone!

Well it's been so many years since I traveled alone, I can hardly remember what it was like. But I have made the last two big trips of my life with my mother & my sister, respectively, so I can definitely relate to the question. The trip with my mother was a drive from Seattle all the way down the West Coast to San Diego, and it was truly beautiful, all the country we saw. I remember the northern CA coastline, around Ukiah ( I think!) how the redwoods marched right down to the edge of the Pacific. Incredible!! The other trip was with my older sister, to the American Virgin Islands, about 12 years ago. That was another incredibly beautiful place. The people were all so friendly, and the food! Oh God I can still remember a plate of steamed fish & rice that was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my life!! Basic foods, but whatever they did to them really worked! And the fresh fruits there, OMG my mouth is watering just thinking about them now, and it's been how many years? But in both of these places I was longing to be with a man, to have someone to remember the romance & beauty of it all with, you know? Or to BE romantic with, I should say...

For an exotic place, I'd have to say Singapore. Closer to home, you can't beat Vermont during the fall foliage season.

The most romantic Ive ever been is Santorini, Greece. Got married there in 2005 at sunset, and would have liked to have gone back for my 5 year anniversary, but didn't make it that long. The wife bailed on the marriage, so now I refer to it as my Big Fat Greek Tragedy. I may never go back.

Loved Dominican Republic....can't wait to go back but this time with that special someone....HOPEFULLY.

Enjoying Argentina and I was very glad to be single for this trip because the guys here are pretty good looking and charming but when I danced the Argentinian Tango with 54 year old Silvana... single and proud view went right out the Ventana (window).
