Travelling alone in a camper van or motorhome
Many people travel alone in a camper van or motorhome. I did so in 2006 through western Europe, and had a great time. It is easy to meet other people when travelling. Whether you are staying in campsites or free camping, there are friendly people everywhere. Other travelers are generally easy to approach, and most will speak English. Some people will be glad for someone else to talk to. If a couple or group of friends are travelling they are often glad for someone else to chat to and share stories and travel information. When free camping in surf locations you will find several people travelling alone, and its easy to find someone to surf, eat and drink with. Solo travelers often travel in convey from place to place, one they have met up someone they get along with.
If you are thinking about travelling alone don't be put off. It can just as rewarding, and sometimes more so, than travelling in groups.

Nice to hear from you James. I hope the spring comes early.
I travel most places on my own and have met some of the nicest people yet !! Usually students traveling around on a gap year or similar. Having a very social Labrador helps as he tends to run up to others first and introduces the both of us !
Winter2009/10 has been particularly 'long' and cannot wait for the Spring/Summer.
James, just a quick question or three for you!
Im seriously considering traveling around europe in a campervan for 6-8 months next spring and Im not sure if I should take my (very friendly) Doberman or to try and leave him with family. Were there any restricting issues or problems that you found having a dog with you on your travels?
best

I've met lots of people traveling with their dogs and it worked very well for them.
The dog adds a level of security to your vehicle.
