Have you ever went on a solo vacation? What was the experience like?

My birthday is comimg up soon and I'd plan on spending 3 days at an all inclusive hotel with a friend but she completely blindsided me this week by telling me she'll no longer be able to make it due to monetary reasons. We have been planning this for months. I honestly haven't recovered and have been hurt but I am thinking about going alone and at the same time, its just all so nerve-wracking as I honestly don't wanna celebrate my birthday alone but on the other hand, with this new journey I'm currently on, it could be liberating.

I just don't know how to feel.

I have, most often off into the woods by myself.

But there were a few work things where I had planned to go with others and they all bailed.

It is different for sure, but you are free to just go, do things, explore, etc.

Imagine being with a friend and they want to stay in the room while you want to go for a walk. After you get back you share with them all the things that happened.

Now imagine it's the exact same, except they're not in the room waiting, they're at home.

You deserve a break from alot of things, take it. Go relax, have an adventure, meet others, ask what brings them there, discover the other souls and their stories (and if you'd like, share yours with them)
