I used to work in town, and went out for lunch quite frequently in the handful of restaurants around the school/training center where I worked. I loved feeling like a special regular customer. There's no longer anywhere I go to that frequently.
Congratulations on having the pizza named after you! That's quite an accomplishment.
As for trends, I feel like solo female travel has moved from a trend to a certifiable phenomenon, although I don't have statistics on it -- so why not solo male travel? What's good for the goose...
Thanks for commenting, Betty. Do you miss the recognition you received from the restaurants you frequented during your working days at the school? Or are you happy exploring new places? (I have a foot in both camps!)
It surprised me to learn that solo female travel was leading to a new wave of solo male travel. I’ll admit that my boomer biases got the better of me there!
I think I’m more for exploring new places, although overall in my new job I don’t go out as much and I kind of miss that.
In reading more about travel and looking into doing some travel writing myself, I’ve read quite a bit about solo female travel, especially for those over 50 — and a bit about solo travel in general as well. I definitely enjoy traveling alone.
