Top Four Solo Vacays

Iceland

Ditch the Eurail pass and forego the usual suspects around Europe. Opt for something more unique like Europe's lesser-visited Iceland. Iceland is not for those on a shoe-string budget, Iceland is one of Europe's most expensive countries.  But its totally worth it as Iceland does not skimp on nature or luxury! Majestic glacier-wrought scenery and healing hot pools, turquoise pools, toppling cascades, and glaring-white icecaps await you.  Head to Reykjavik if you are itching for a more a more cosmopolitan locale . For the ultimate in luxury, check into the Blue Lagoon, where you can take a  dip in healing waters pool and lava rocks flanked by surreal Icelandic scenery.

Arizona

Ok so Arizona is not a glamorous far away land but for what it lacks in mystique it more than makes up for in spas, open roads, and tranquility. Rent a convertible, rock a fab-scarf,  and take a drive la Savannah in Waiting to Exhale. See first-hand the Sonoran Desert on your way to Sedona. Savor the diverse scenery as you go from desert to chapparal to tall Ponderosa Pine forests. Visit the Grand Canyon or just relax and rejuvenate in one of Arizona's many 5-star spas. Try Miraval (www.miravalresorts.com) Miraval is a top-rated all-inclusive resort, and award-winning spa situated in the warm shade of Santa Catalina Mountains in northern Tucson, Arizona on 400 acres of idyllic land, Miraval is a place dedicated to opening eyes, minds, and hearts. Hey if its good enoug for Oprah and Gayle...

England

England is an obvious choice, not just because they speak the same language, but because they speak the universal language - shopping. London has some of the trendiest boutiques and shops. Whether you are bargain hunting on the high street, digging for treasures in Camden Market,  or salivating over the hottest fashion in Harrods, there is something for everyone.  Fawn over Kate Middleton's impeccable sense of fashion like we do? Head towww.katemiddletonstyle.org to plan a shopping trip fit for a Queen. If the exchange rate has you shaking in your welly's, there is still plenty to do that does not involve burning up your credit card. Visit the city's many museums and cultural institutions, tour Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, or retrace the infamous steps of Jack The Ripper. Be sure to journey to some neighboring towns that over a bevy of  charming castles and inns like Bath or Cornwall.  

Croatia

The Dalmatian coast is quite simply a slice of heaven here on earth.  To call it one of Europe’s most stunning escapes is an understatement. The azure waters of the Adriatic provide the perfect backdrop for my search for self fulfillment,  the coastline is punctuated by a series of lively towns, old castles and city walls, and cute restaurants with the freshest seafood and great wine. If you are on a time crunch, set your sites on Dubrovnik, This tiny town packs in all of the best Croatia has to offer, not to mention the people are beyond friendly and always willing to help a lone traveler. Despite the recent hype, Croatia’s pleasures are more timeless than trendy. Along its 1778km coastline, a glistening sea winds around rocky coves, lapping at pine-fringed beaches. City centers throb with nightlife and pop culture amid ancient Roman ruins. Your favorite movie star probably already snapped up one if its many tiny islands or docks his/her yacht there on a regular as Dalmatia is a fave in celebrityville.
