I am begrudgingly accepting that the colder months are coming by escaping to Malta which is the warmest, sunniest place in Europe after Spain ๐ I will be there in a week and looking forward to it.

How to get over a breakup
โ
One of the most common reasons mentioned by women joining our solo female travelers trips is that they are finally doing something for themselves that their spouse always promised them they would do but never did.
"As soon as I got divorced, I decided to book a trip to Italy which had always been my dream".
"I put down the deposit for your Japan trip to go on that dream trip I had been dreaming off since I was a kid but that my husband didn't want to join me on".
"I went to Bali after getting divorced and no longer having to give explanations to my husband"
"This trip to Oaxaca is my gift to myself to celebrate Divorce. My husband hated to travel and I stopped doing it when I got married".

Members of a Reddit thread discussed that one of the best ways they got over a breakup is by doing the things that they loved indulging in but their partner didn't want to do with them.
This is a great way to be reminded of what life could be like without them and the joy that existed before the relationship.
For many women, travel is that one thing they stopped doing for their partner.
The expensive and time consuming hobby is something they gave up on, or never got to experience, because their husband didn't enjoy it or didn't want to do in the same way they did or didn't think it was a worthy activity to spend money on.
Other ways in which travel can help heal after a breakup:
A new perspective: Nothing like a completely different place to see life through a new lens.
Recover your agency: Solo travel means making lots of decisions by yourself, something that will remind you of your independence, self-value and ability to solve challenges by yourself.
New memories: A great reminder that life has a lot to offer and that you can make new memories by participating in experiences you love.
A healthy distraction: A way to take a break from day to day routine that may remind you of your relationship while also learning many new things and seeing the world.
Self-care: Taking a break to focus on yourself completely by booking a retreat where others can take care of you and spoil you.
Making new friends: So many of our guests make new friends for life on our tours. They are among likeminded women they have a lot in common with and find others who share similar challenges and passions, one of which is traveling.
