Have you ever been on a solo trip?

To where and for how long?

I'm considering it but one obstacle for me is keeping my mood up. Like it makes me sad that I have no one to travel with, but then I'm sad that I haven't traveled, so I know I need to. I just don't think I'll be able to maintain happy energy for long...

Advice?

To a few places. I’ve visted Japan, Mexico, and Ecuador for nearly 2 months at a time.

I housed and studied in rural areas. The natives are the best part of the culture, I enjoyed learning from them. I was not part of a program.

I did go to Cancun and Puerto Rico ALONE for leisure. I would recommend finding a nice resort, go all out with the all inclusive if you can. It’s worth it.

Pools, beach-side, unlimited food and drinks, clubs, dolphin swimming... there are some crazy resorts out there.

November is a great time to visit... there aren’t too many travelers. So, you might find it comfortable to hang out with the few others that are staying there as well.

It’s nice to lounge around with a drink in your hand. Nobody will bother you.

It is safer to keep on the resort than it is to visit the local areas around it. Keep it in mind if you decide to explore the area outside of the resort.

@LithiumDrop Thank you for that. I'm curious as to how you financed it. I have some savings but also need a new car.

That's a good idea-a resort. In my head I'd always assumed that resorts are always packed and stuff.

But I think a trip will have to wait. I'm starting a new job soon lol. I should have done/ planned this months ago when I was working part time.
