Where would you go? Looking for inspo. Japan is already massively on the menu but I'm trying to work up the courage (solo female)

Go...

I’d go and see my cousin in Canada

user1497787065 · 14/03/2026 17:56

Probably Gleneagles

Mydahliasareshit · 14/03/2026 18:01

One of those serious Swiss spas that check absolutely everything, have every treatment, and turn you inside out and put you back together again.

LeeshaPaper · 14/03/2026 18:03

Japan

But the Swiss clinic sounds fabulous

Or three Italian cities, a few nights in each: Milan, Rome, Florence. Or add in Sorrento instead of Milan

The way I feel right now: an unbelievably luxurious hotel which has an incredible chef doing room service. I dont care where it is (not Dubai!) because I would only stay in my room and sleep, waking up occasionally to eat and drink fantastic wine. Maybe a nice mountain view from the window though? So perhaps the Canadian Rockies.

My current bucket list includes Costa Rica, a safari, Mauritius and Rome.

SliceofTosst · 14/03/2026 18:15

SE Asia cruise.

Chewbecca · 14/03/2026 18:16

Maybe french Polynesia to dive

misscockerspaniel · 14/03/2026 18:16

The Italian Lakes. Sign me up.

BloodyHellBob · 14/03/2026 18:19

A beautiful villa on Corfu.

ginasevern · 14/03/2026 18:22

A traditional, family run hotel in the South of Italy would do me. Not far from a nice beach, bars, restaurants etc with interesting history and maybe islands to explore. Somewhere like Scilla or Sapri.

travailtotravel · 14/03/2026 18:23

Not long enough for Japan.

travailtotravel · 14/03/2026 18:24

I'm eyeing up a food and wine group trip to France! Nomnom!

I definitely wouldn't go all the way to Japan for 7-10 days. With a 12 hour plus flight and jetlag to contend with it definitely wouldn't be worth it IMO, especially when there is so much to see and you really need to travel around.

I'd go to Morocco, do a tour out to the Merzouga desert via Ait Benhaddou, mud kasbahs etc. If things weren't blowing up in the ME then I'd recommend Jordan, Petra and Wadi Rum are mind blowing but there are lots of other sites too and the country is small enough to be very easy to get around.

Or the Caribbean - Grenada and hang out on Grand Anse/Mourne Rouge beaches and do a few trips to see chocolate being made/George town/Grand Etang NP etc (a longer flight but a more chilled holiday suited to a shorter time). Or the Cayman Islands to swim with giant stingrays.

In Europe I'd go to the Dolomites. Just about anywhere in Italy really, or Croatia. I haven't been to Madeira and the hiking looks awesome, or Slovenia - some very beautiful looking areas there.

I've travelled a lot on my own, best thing IMO is to just plan carefully, book it all - and so give yourself no choice but to do the scary (but amazing) thing.

Bhutan

Poohbear333 · 14/03/2026 20:03

Maldives

Goldenboysmum · 14/03/2026 20:06

I'd go back to Memphis and Nashville, probably for the last time.

Unfortunately it's not the money that's the problem, its health so I can't see it happening

dailyconniptions · 14/03/2026 20:11

Switzerland.

Summercocktailsgalore · 14/03/2026 20:16

Sicily

tobee · 14/03/2026 20:17

Depends on the time of year, but I’d have to go to some where properly warm and with a beach. I think I’d choose one of the really posh hotels in Cannes in one of their best suites overlooking the sea. Or a private villa and pool on the French Riviera.
