Description

Eating and drinking together is often a short cut to friendship. Cookery classes are always a good bet, as are foraging courses. Kerry Bowness of the Foraging Course Company leads lively walks, complete with samples of hawthorn ketchup or elderflower jelly, in areas ranging from Norfolk to Gloucestershire.

You'll read stories of whizzing through the air in a Tiger Moth Plane, encounters with deadly green mambas and hungry lions, and the terrible crash that led him to storytelling.Going Solo is a really informative book on the challenges of living alone in cities at various stages of life. I really liked that there was so much research cited, statements were strongly corroborated by empirical data, and the inclusion of interviews to put human 'faces' on the research and data. Also look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits. Read more Details I live alone. There, I said it. I'm not used to saying it that way because... Actually I don't know why. Maybe I'm afraid of the stigma attached to the word "alone." It sounds so forlorn (pitifully sad and abandoned, or lonely, if you google it), and I'm not. I'm not sad or lonely, nor have I been abandoned. I love my life.

His descriptions of an air battle in his Hurricane is mesmerizing: ‘I was quite literally overwhelmed by the feeling that I had been into the very bowels of the fiery furnace and had managed to claw my way out.’ Take in local events. Whether it's a street festival or sporting event, these are opportunities to rub shoulders with locals, offering insight into the culture and, potentially, fun conversations.

The book suggests we should no longer continue our journey through life solely supporting the concept of marriage being the end-all and that being single is something to abhor. Instead, we need to come to the realization that it’s here to stay and that we need to create places for all to flourish.Like: single-person households are often more engaged, socially and civically, than the vaunted nuclear family, where mom and dad are far too busy and stressed by raising children to turn their attention outwards to the wider society. While many people don't understand why, the fact remains, dinner can be one of the more difficult times for those traveling alone.Here are a few options. Tap the experience of the people you meet. As a solo traveler, you'll meet more travelers and locals than those who travel with a partner. Ask a traveler about the best thing they've done so far or a local for the best hidden gem restaurant in the area. The people you meet and the advice they offer will greatly enrich your trip. Learn a few words in the local language. Making an effortto communicate in the local language is always appreciated and often returned with an effort to communicate in your language. Given that English is often the second language that people learn, you will find many locals wanting to chat with you. This explains the mass movement of women into both the workforce and single one bedroom apartments. This explains why I must face the reality of living alone with never the opportunity to follow the nostaligc 1960's lifescript of boy and girl coming together in dating, courtship, marriage with children as the crowning achievement.
