SOLO TRAVELS:<br />
BEST VACATIONS<br />
FOR REFLECTION<br />
As the year comes to an end, both people and organisations wrap<br />
up their businesses and reflect over actions made, things bought<br />
and relationships forged. But, what begins must come to an end.<br />
So, make some time just for yourself and go on a trip or a short<br />
excursion, to the neighbouring state perhaps? And wind down, reflect<br />
on the year and make plans or don’t make plans for the year ahead!<br />
QUEPOS, COSTA RICA<br />
Everybody understands that a week<br />
at a spa is good for body and soul, an<br />
ideal sojourn for reflection and taking<br />
care of yourself. So, forget finding the<br />
right spa and instead book your<br />
holiday to Quepos, Costa Rica! An<br />
area that was once dependent on<br />
banana plantations which used to line<br />
the surrounding area, today, tourism<br />
has deemed itself the major economic<br />
factor, contributing to just about<br />
everything in the area. And one of the<br />
main attractions here? Marlin fishing<br />
between the months of December<br />
and April. The country is also known<br />
for its amiable hospitality, coffee<br />
farms, volcanoes and hot springs that<br />
are perfect for exploring solo. Quepos<br />
is also approximately 7 kilometres<br />
from the Manuel Antonio National<br />
Park which allows you to get up close<br />
and personal with capuchin monkeys<br />
and hundreds of bird species or<br />
sunbathe at one of the reserve’s four<br />
natural beaches.<br />
LAKE DISTRICT,<br />
ENGLAND<br />
Visiting the Lake District is one of the<br />
most popular breaks for people across<br />
the UK and the rest of the world. The<br />
Lake District National Park has a wide<br />
range of activities and attractions, as<br />
well as the natural beauty of the entire<br />
area. You can choose to walk, cycle or<br />
splash around since the place houses<br />
12 of the largest lakes in England apart<br />
from parts of Hadrian’s Wall, which is<br />
the Romans’ most significant monument<br />
in Britain. Book a tour that will allow you<br />
to soak into some of Cumbria’s prettiest<br />
countryside, the remote landscape close<br />
to the Scottish Borders. You then journey<br />
to the 129-kilometre long Wall conceived<br />
by the Emperor Hadrian in 122AD and<br />
now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br />
