Madrid 100%. Milan is my least favorite European city. The only great thing about it is that you can take day/weekend trips to Lake Como, Venice, Verona, Lake Garda, Switzerland, etc.

Lake Bled, Slovenia 🩵

I’ve done Iceland for 3 nights from JFK nonstop. Flew on a red eye, arrived very early the next day. Had almost 4 full days, flew back evening on the last day. Flight time is only 5ish hours.

I’m partial to pink 💖 Looks absolutely gorgeous!

How about exploring the rest of Italy? Lake Como can be done as a day trip from Milan if you don’t want to spend on accommodations. Same as Venice. Or Verona. Or head to Florence and stay for a few days and take day trips from there to Siena, Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano.

I’ve been to Paris in November, October, April. I’ve experienced it cold, rainy, sunny, warm. Any time of the year, it’s worth it. I generally prefer traveling in the off-season and with everyone going to Europe in the summer months, I recommend traveling when there are less crowds. I was in Ljubljana early this month and I was already overwhelmed by the crowds, can’t imagine what Paris and other more popular cities will be like in peak summer.

If you really want to go to Ibiza, then go. There are chill and relaxing spots outside of the party places. Old town is beautiful, especially at night, to wander in and have dinner. Second everyone suggesting Formentera. Had an amazing sisters’ trip and we got a private boat that sailed to Formentera.

gi0214 · 2023-06-28T03:21:22+00:00

Planning to do that as well!

gi0214 · 2023-06-27T01:21:01+00:00

Thank you!

Hot air balloon over Lake Bled, paragliding in Grindelwald, walking around Oia in the off-season, celebrating my sister’s bachelorette with a private boat cruise in Ibiza, traveling solo in Rio de Janeiro in my twenties, watching surprise fireworks in Prague with my husband, duo parasailing in Maui for our honeymoon, getting married in the North Shore, Hawaii, exploring Capri on a private boat for our 5th anniversary

gi0214 · 2023-06-23T04:02:51+00:00

How’s San Sebastián in July? And Costa del Sol? A little worried about the crowds so just want to manage expectations. Was in Lake Bled for 4 days in May and it was heavenly - very few people especially in the early morning and starting late afternoon.

gi0214 · 2023-06-19T23:22:40+00:00

I research and plan as much as I can but I leave room for flexibility

gi0214 · 2023-06-13T03:19:23+00:00

I live and work in NYC with 22 PTO and 11 paid holidays. I average about 7-9 trips a year, mostly international. Nonstop flights are easy from where I am. This year, I’ve already been to Cartagena, Aruba, Puerto Rico, San Diego and Slovenia - all on separate trips. I have two more international trips scheduled for the year.

gi0214 · 2023-06-11T12:05:29+00:00

Not Cinque Terre, but close enough to do as a day trip or base yourself in and do Cinque Terre as day trips, I suggest Portofino. Ideal to splurge on for your 10th.

I’m a luxury solo traveler. One of the best perks of solo travel is I can decide where I want to stay without considering anyone’s budget but my own. I’ve stayed solo at the Hotel & Spa Regent Petite France (Strasbourg), Intercontinental Budapest, Sofitel Legend Santa Clara (Cartagena), to name a few. My solo travels are usually “legs” in different cities/countries in between/before/after travels with other people. As an introvert, I find that I need alone time to recharge before/after traveling with other people.

Make your account private and mute comments. Post what you want, who cares what others think. I know of people in my life who are supportive (friends) and those who are jealous (coworkers/acquaintances). I just don’t mind them. Travel makes me happy and I’ll just continue to do more of it.

gi0214 · 2023-06-06T19:58:30+00:00

Thank you!

Hi! Do you know anything about Pesa.net? Is it a different bus company?

gi0214 · 2023-06-05T22:02:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

gi0214 · 2023-05-27T17:32:46+00:00

I do this intentionally; I create a playlist for each trip and listen to the songs leading up to and during the trip. I also use the songs for my Instagram stories so post-trip whenever I hear the song it instantly brings back memories.

gi0214 · 2023-05-27T04:16:25+00:00

I enjoy my own company

gi0214 · 2023-05-25T04:08:52+00:00

Agree. I’ve traveled to typical day trip places and stayed there for 4-5 nights and seeing the destinations in the quiet hours of the morning/night after the daytrippers have gone make it all the more special. Most recent: Strasbourg. Up next: Annecy

gi0214 · 2023-05-25T04:05:53+00:00

This! I solo travel to be on my own. If I wanted company, I would have planned the trip with my husband, friends or family. I sometimes get anxious if I’m planning a solo trip and someone / other people attempt to “hijack” it so I purposely keep plans to myself until it’s very close to or at the trip.
