Ever take a vacation by yourself?

[Building_and_Loan]

I'm thinking of taking a vacation before October to somewhere I've never been in the US before, just to see an area of the country I haven't yet. And because I have a ton of PTO saved up and I don't want to lose it haha.

The only downside is I'll have to likely go by myself. None of my friends will be able to go, as all of them are pretty much married with kids now, and I don't want to take a female because one of the benefits to a vacation is the likelihood of finding single, sexually available women for some casual fun. I always thought it'd be a little weird to take a vacation by myself, as it's just easier to have someone along with you, but I'm not totally opposed to it. I wouldn't use it as a reason not to go though, it could be more adventurous now that I think about it.

I'm a pretty independent person, as a few times I went and moved up to Alaska for summer work, as I had just graduated college and didn't have a full-time job yet. I live in the Midwest, thinking about going to California, Pacific Northwest, Louisiana, or the Northeast somewhere.

Any of you ever take a vacation by yourself just to get away and cool off for a few days?

You might look into Europe for a vacation. Spain and Greece are filled with single women on vacation looking to f uck. Some of the European guys on here can probably direct you to the right places. I did this years ago so things might have changed. I went to Spain and was up to my armpits in Scandinavian women wanting to screw.

All the time. Mexico, Thailand, Belize, Japan. Nothing to worry about.

Yes. About 15 times. The societal stigmas around this being weird is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Do it and
STAY AT A HOSTEL!!!

If you get the right place it's an amazing experience. Read the reviews on TripAdvisor and Hostelworld, especially the sections on Cleanliness and Atmosphere. Make sure to find a place that pulls an 8.5/10 on both (preferably a 9.0). You will meet dozens of single travelers. I still have a half dozen phone numbers of guys and women. Two girls I went on dates with as they happened to be traveling to my city the next week.

My three favorite hostels were

D.C. - A Victorian building with 4-star amenities for $50 a night, and it was run more like an easy going house party than a hostel. Each night had about 30-35 people hanging out, drinking, playing games in many different rooms. Most were traveling solo.

Barcelona - The hostel was in the middle of a shopping district during a heritage festival week. Crazy party atmosphere. Met 9 people that I went to a soccer game that night.

Amsterdam - A huge 5 story place that was once a school. Very chill, quiet, laid back atmosphere that fit with the whole theme of the city. I spent most of the week stoned and unwinding from the chaos that was traveling London the prior week.

Even better than its PTO and you're getting paid for it

I'd suggest you take a week long trip to Havana. Go before McDonalda and the like move in. You'll find the most beautiful, affectionate women in the world there. Any color any shape.

Always wanted to visit Amsterdam, but I have to admit Europe scares me a little right now with attacks taking place there weekly.

Hostels are a good idea though, I hadn't thought of that.

Amsterdam really is the easy life. It is a utopia the likes of which Americans can't fathom unless they've been there. The freedom is it pertains to civil liberties is unheard of. There is pretty much no such thing as traffic because everyone rides bikes, and crime is very low.

You can wake up in the morning, walk to the Red Light District and for $150 an hour you can have an HB10. After that you can head over to the coffee shop and get a brownie for $7, which is more than enough to get high two different times. The edibles are about 4x more potent than the garbage you smoke here. Don't think I ever slept better than I did that week..

But I visited last year and things weren't nearly as bad one year ago. I wouldn't go there right now. There are places in Europe that are still very safe because they're not allowing the "refugee" invasion. Places like Iceland, Poland, & Czech Republic have said no.

P.S. Let me say it again because it bears repeating. Do your research on the hostel's reputation because it can make or break the solo trip.

Quoted for truth.

Costa Brava or Costa del Sol July to mid-September, you can't really go wrong. Hotels are pretty cheap and you can probably get good package deals if you go at the beginning of September (end of school holidays). The Greek Islands are also renowned, as are the Balearics and Canaries. I think my best hit rate was 5 women in 10 days on the South Coast of Spain.
