🏝️ Take a trip completely alone

One week, solo, somewhere unfamiliar. The most formative thing you can do in your 20s.

How you would actually start

  1. 🔍 Check whether the promise holds

    “One week, solo, somewhere unfamiliar. The most formative thing you can do in your 20s.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

  2. 🗓️ Decide what "started" would look like

    No deadline is real here. The list is a prompt, not a schedule. Name the smallest thing that would count as having begun, and do that one.

  3. 🪜 Find the small version first

    Somewhere nearer will tell you whether you actually like this kind of trip, for a fraction of the cost.

  4. 📌 Put it somewhere you will see it

    An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
