For my trip to London I didn't want to share a room with anyone other than my significant other, who can't come. So since I wasn't going to be sharing a room anyway, going with someone else wasn't going to save any money, so it didn't matter that much one way or the other. Yes it can be lonely to be in a different country by yourself for a week, but I'm a grownup. I can handle it. I'll be on my own schedule without having to spend time making mutual decisions or feel like I was getting shortchanged by not doing the things I really want to do on a vacation that expensive. I won't do anything that I don't WANT to do. That's not to say that you can't share a room with someone and still be on different schedules, but this way there is no guilt about it. I don't sleep well when I share a room with someone unless we are in a relationship. Share a BED? Forget it.
