I'm single so I can't really speak to your relationship. However I recently went on a solo trip and it was fantastic. When you travel solo, it's such a freeing feeling and you feel so accomplished at the end. I think you should go for it. It's only going to get harder to travel so you should take advantage while you can. Never let other people hold you back. If he really likes you, he'll understand .
If you enjoy travel, there's nothing wrong with traveling solo. When you go on your own, you get to see & do exactly the things that most interest you. You can also change plans on the fly if you run across an interesting festival, exhibition, concert or other event. I travel on my own frequently and always have a great time. Last weekend, I was in Issaquah, WA for the Salmon days Festival and next weekend, I'm planning on going to Albuquerque for the Balloon Festival. I'd never let not having a travel companion stop me from going somewhere interesting.
I love travelling alone as it is a great way to meet other travellers or locals.
But I also love travelling with other people.
So where do you plan to go, can you travel somewhere closer to home or for a shorter time so you can your boyfriend can travel together?
Put the money away until you and your BF can travel together. There is no urgency to go in December. Traveling alone is no fun.
