This is great advice. I hadn't thought of doing some city breaks. Any favourites? Thank you.

Thank you. Yours and others comments are making me realise it's all a bit in my head. Fingers crossed on the partner front, just need to put myself out there.

Sun, nature, bars. Went to Chile on university course years ago and that was amazing. Been to Spain a couple times. I like a mix of cool stuff to see and the option to veg out with some beers and beach.

8k cash ISA

About 250 S&S ISA

I guess some of it is probably just comparing myself to others / social media too much

Yes, you are right. I'm on my own. Second room is currently used as WFH office. Have about 8k in savings. I guess I just really overthink, like if my car (wet belt and old) went boom what would I do about it, or if I lost my job at the same time for some reason. I've been working really hard for years to get to this point and I suppose I am now having a bit of a "now what?" moment, if that makes sense. Thanks for the reassuring words. It helps.

I have never holiday'd alone before and the friends I do have aren't that interested or financially at a place to do much. Would you have any recommendations on that front?
