Hear Me Out: Your Post Isolation Vacation Should Be a Solo One

It is not awkward at all. What? It's not!

- Ashley Oerman

As a grown, partnered-up, introverted extrovert, I sort of assumed going on vacation by myself was something I'd never do. Like, what is the point? I am not out here trying n to eat, pray, love (TBH, probably just eat). Also, after months and months of seeing no more than the same four people, a group trip would be exactly what I needed.

No. It turns out, no, no, no! Solo travel offers so much more than post break-up epiphanies—especially for anyone who's been through 2020 and most of 2021. Allow me to elaborate based on my gloriously lonely vacay in the jaw-dropping Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire.
