    I like travelling on my own. Not that I do much of it.

    City breaks are definitely easy to do alone. Lots to see and do.

    If you prefer something a bit more active then there's cycling and rambling breaks that are geared towards solo travellers getting together.

      Just go somewhere that has things that interest you and take it from there.
      Where do you stay when you go alone?

        That's what I do when I want to take a break from everything: I plan my route, book airbnbs, take my gravel bike and speak to nobody for like 3-4 days.

          Prati District the NH group have a couple of reasonable hotels in the area.

            I have been to Hedonism II in Jamaica with the bowls club a few times.

              It depends on what you like to do. I don't do lying on beaches, etc, and would be far happier going for walks with my dog or learning something new.

              Maybe consider something like this:

                Another suggestion is to buy a van and convert it into a stealth camper. That way you can set off at any time and not be reliant on accommodation.

                  Paint it pink and it'll be a little camper.

                    Far East.
                    South Korea, Japan. There's lot's to the far east outside the usual sex tourist haunts (I assume OP isn't interested in this. If they are there are better sources of information about the "Glitter-Trail").

                    I travelled for work to the far east several tikes, on my own, and didn't feel out of place (other than usual culture shock).
