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!
The day after I arrive anywhere is always reserved for doing duck all. Enjoy.

Off to Valencia tomorrow. It's been a year since I did a solo trip so feeling a bit nervous. I'll be alright when I'm there it's just the thought of travelling and the airport that makes me anxious. Gonna miss my cats too 😟

Trying to decide what day trips to do on my trip. Has anyone been to the secret Gilli islands? Nanggu, Sudak, Kedis, Gede, and Asahan
 
Does anyone have any specific recommendations of where to eat in Valencia as a solo traveller? I really want to try paella but I've heard a lot of places only serve it in double portions and require a minimum of two people to order. I'm feeling a bit out of practise so even going for a coffee and a slice of cake seems daunting at the moment!

You can go to places that serve ready made (but freshly prepared) food for takeaway, all the ones I've been tk do paella/black rice (which I also 100% recommend. I'll try and find the name of the places I got food from last time I was there (near the beach sp got it and sat on the beach with a lemon Fanta, the dream)

Yeah take away seems like a good option. Ooh I need to get myself a lemon fanta haha
I'm going on a food tour tomorrow so hopefully that will make me feel more comfortable anyway

So I've finally booked a short holiday in April, to Stockholm, very short just 3 days. Anyone have any advice?

Stockholm was one of my favourite city breaks ever!
There is loads of cool art on the underground (metro), I spent an afternoon just train hopping to see some of it, you can find guides online. The old town is beautiful but small so it doesn't take long to look round. And if you go across to Södermalm which is a hip/arty area, it's nice to wander round and you can get amazing views back over the water to the old town.
There are some good museums too if that's your thing.
If the weather is decent, you can take a boat trip out through the Stockholm archipelago, it's just beautiful. I was there in May and it was bright but quite cold still so take a hat and scarf just in case...
And of course I enjoyed eating all the buns!
Have a great time!

Has anyone travelled from Copenhagen to Stockholm? I had booked flix bus but having looked online reviews are pretty awful. But then I've seen there are now direct trains which seems a bit of a hassle to have tk change. Any advice would be appreciated!

I've taken the train from Copenhagen to Malmo for a day trip. Was easy enough. Can't comment about Stockholm though never been it sure it would be fine.

I am visiting Oslo for 4 nights in May.
Anyone got any "must do" tips? Thanks.
It has one of the best libraries I've ever been to. Worth a look. Also look into the Fjords boat trips that are relatively short and take you to a few of the little islands.

I am currently in Taiwan. I am here for work meetings but added on a few days to explore. Yesterday was my first non work day and it was amazing. I did a bit of exploring and then went back to the hotel to the spa. It feels so safe and the people have been very friendly.
