I have booked a trip with a company that specialise in trips for solo travellers. A friend has done about 5 trips with them, so I trust them and they do India which is a bucket list location for me so I booked it!

What company is this? Need something to look forward to and push myself out of my comfort zone.
Other way round
There are several similar. But these are specifically for 30-49 year olds
I've been looking into China the last two days as I think it looks good. I'd have 12 days there after flights I was thinking:
Beijing 5 nights - great wall, forbidden city, universal
Zhangjiajie 4 nights - national park
Chengdu 3 nights - pandas, spa
I was looking at doing it the opposite way around but chatgpt suggested this way

Has anyone done an 'extreme daytrip' before? I'm desperately craving some sun 
but I'm not really a beach person so want something with a bit of cultural interest too. Aaand would like the flight to be as short as possible obviously to fit as much in as possible. Anyone know somewhere that fits the bill? I was thinking maybe Alicante or Malaga - somewhere I probably wouldn't do a full length trip. Whereas Seville or Valencia I would want more time (though I suppose I could always go back!) Spain is my comfort zone but if anyone has recommendations elsewhere I'm all ears!
And those who have done one before- did it feel worthwhile or was it a stress?

Sounds like a stress to me. You could do the same thing but with a one night stay for not much more money and then you'd get to actually enjoy more time somewhere.Has anyone done an 'extreme daytrip' before? I'm desperately craving some sun

Yes me, done 2, one to Alicante and 1 to Malaga, off to Faro on the 5th. Didn't feel stressful at all. I travel from LGW. I'd highly recommend Alicante for your 1st one, so easy. Flight left the UK at 7.25 and I was sitting on the beach at 11.07 cost of flight was £30.Has anyone done an 'extreme daytrip' before? I'm desperately craving some sun

I'm addicted to them now and am planning one every other week to Alicante next year to see me through winter.
ETA I'll report back on Faro, apparently another easy one, funnily enough I did have 1 booked to Seville but didn't go because the weather forecast was rit and everyone said Seville comes alive at night so you really need to do a few days there.
If you're not a beach person then there is more to do in Malaga. You need to get the C1 train into town, station right outside the airport.
I’ve done extreme day trips to Copenhagen and Amsterdam, whilst they aren’t places you’d choose if specifically wanting sun they are both great choices with short flight times from uk and quick transfers to the city from the airport using public transport. I’d love to do more but as I don’t live near enough to an airport that offers cheap flights, the cost of hotels or transport in the UK around the trip makes it harder to justify.Has anyone done an 'extreme daytrip' before?

Has anyone bought flights from third parties and has issues? I've done it before and never had an issue. But I've got two flights this summer I can't add to the airlines app and the third party said I have to check in via them. Always have been able to add tickets to the airlines app before
I love them. Done Palma, Barcelona & Brussels. Tiring yes but sleep on the flights or Eurostar. Plan buses etc in advance and then you're in your own bed that night lolHas anyone done an 'extreme daytrip' before? I'm desperately craving some sun

Off on a solo riding holiday to Andalusia next week, haven't ridden in 1 years so slightly concerned about that I did want to do Oman on horseback but that will have to wait.
Did you find a Horse riding trip?
Yes. I'm going with horses and culture. I'll report back although my impressions from the reviews is that it's excellent unless you're expecting the equivalent of a 4* hotel which I'm not.I'm not paying more as a solo traveller but I might have to room share. At the moment there are 2 x 2 women and me.
Closest I've done is a mini cruise from Hull to Rotterdam (transfer to Amsterdam). I don't think i could do a flight oneHas anyone done an 'extreme daytrip' before? I'm desperately craving some sun

Has anyone backpacked around Panama?? I always wanted to go the San Blas Islands but now I just want to backpack around more of Panama
How do you get over the guilty feeling of sitting in the hotel room relaxing when you’re on a solo trip 
I arrived late yesterday and have a tour booked in a couple hours but I’m just laid on my bed scrolling reels to decompress a bit but I feel like I should be doing stuff!

Chilling in the hotel whenever you like for as long as you like is one of my favourite things about a solo holiday! Enjoy!How do you get over the guilty feeling of sitting in the hotel room relaxing when you’re on a solo trip

I just think sometimes you'll enjoy yourself better on the activities you want to do if you relax in the room a bit as wellHow do you get over the guilty feeling of sitting in the hotel room relaxing when you’re on a solo trip
