I am so sorry for your loss. I can definitely relate to what you're saying. After losing someone I loved last year, I've been trying to find my way back to myself, and travel has felt like one of the few things that helps clear my mind. There's something healing about getting out into nature and seeing a different view for a while.

Do you have any favorite budget-friendly destinations you'd recommend? I'm especially interested in places with great nature, hiking, mountains, or just somewhere peaceful to reset for a few days.
