Want to do a solo tripJust turned 25, I’m balding and single and lowkey don’t have a whole lot exciting going on. I am a military officer and have saved up to take about a week of leave starting the last week of march. I’ve decided to do a solo trip ala Russillo.I’m not going abroad to try and hook up with a girl in a bar (but not totally opposed if it happens and there’s a genuine emotional connection), mainly just looking for an interesting experience but also to go somewhere more obscure than the average tourist.I live on the East Coast of the US. My first choice was gonna be somewhere in Mexico since I speak pretty good gringo Spanish but after recent events I don’t think that’d be approved by my chain of command, along with anywhere else in Latin America with the exception of maybe Argentina. I deployed to Asia and the Middle East and loved it there, but don’t really feel like flying that far. Caribbean I’m going to say is a no-go because it’s going to be spring break. So I guess that leaves me with going to either Europe or somewhere in Africa. I’d like to go to Spain but like, it’s just going to be completely mobbed with Americans then and I want to do something a little more adventurous. I listened to the entire Iceland podcast and thought it sounded neat, but what if I get there and get bored??I have a ton of credit card points so the flight anywhere would be free, and I’m only out for a week so the budget is kinda irrelevant. I’m not looking to stay in a five star resort, just looking for a private hotel room with clean sheets lol.Any of you guys have advice?
>>2854364Iceland is epic but fucking expensive, it’s also winter right now and still will be in March so I truly wouldn’t even bother. Have you considered Central Asia? Honestly try and go somewhere tropical right now (probably not Central Asia then) Australia? New Zealand? Vietnam?
What about Morroco or Turkey?I haven't been there but it could be interesting. Or maybe you can go to New Orleans to see Marti Gras? Or you can find some festival in Spain.
>>2854364I'd do Costa Rica, close and small and tourist oriented so you can really pick and choose what you do when you get there. Beaches, jungle, zip-line tourist stuff, speaks Spanish. Its also not embroiled in the narco stuff as much as the many others.>it’s going to be spring breakThen dont stay in the drinkin' district, get a bungalo in the jungle.>>2854367>Central AsiaOne week cuts almost three days for flights/preflight day, and a rest day, so he wont even leave the city he lands in.>>2854373>Morroco or TurkeySame-ish, maybe not as much for Morroco though, but Turkey kind of, he would only really see Instanbul (which can fill two weeks if you visit ALL it has to offer).
>>2854364Go to turkey and get your hair transplant done now while you still have a good foundation to work with. You cannot be career officer and also be bald. You know that.
>>2854430Instead of Costa Rica, wouldn't it be better to see Puerto Rico?>geographically close>US colony>many speak english>everyone speaks spanish>tropical island>rainforest, dancing, bars
>>2854364Argentina and Patagonia.
>>2854466> You cannot be career officer and also be bald.> You know that.What?
Morocco is my favorite place for choose-your-own-adventure solo travel, hiking or dirtbiking or whatever. Not to say the cities aren't touristy as shit, they are.
