Joyce, I dont know if youre going to the costa del sol or not, but if you are Im organising a meetup group for newbies to the Costa. Im also trying to get people involved who have been there for a while to share experiences. In the grand hope of people making new friends.

Nice photo on the site too! :) Er, just one thing, is that a dog collar you are sporting, or is the photo cropped and you've really got a tie on? :p

Hi, if youve read any of my other threads, then you might know that Im going it alone on April 23rd, im 25 year old male and have no friends or contacts what so ever in the Costa Del Sol and I am just taking myself and my car down there then and just got to work on fitting in basically. Im scared sh*t*ess!!!!

Should be fun though, 28 days to go and ive got butterflies already!

nice to hear from you.
did you take your dogs with you? i have 3 cats and intend to take them with me. It will be difficult for them, especially the 16yr old but i could never leave them behind. Did you make some friends, sounds like you're in the middle of nowhere. Well done anyway, it gives me encouragement, cheers

Joyce,

I "did it alone" in 1997, at that time a 38 year old single woman. I am still here having sold everything in the U.K. in 2000 (I wanted to be sure this is where I wanted to be) living very happily in the middle of knowhere with my two dogs. It is different, you need to be careful and have your wits about you, but I think there are quite a few of us single women do this - and good on us for having the guts I say !

Good luck, if you want to chat or have any questions, I will try and help if I can !

I will be going it alone. I'm the first to admit I like my own company though.
