| I'm turning 50 this year, and have been toying with the idea of doing some kind of solo women's retreat/adventure. I love horses, and would be thrilled with anything that involves them and other animals, nature, and beautiful countryside. Not a yogi, so that is off the table. I know there must be tons of things like this out there--have you done anything you'd recommend? |

Sounds great! There is a site that specializes in trips for women traveling solo. I can't remember the name but I'm sure you can find it quickly with a search.
I'm turning 50 this year too. I'm contemplating a solo trip to London, Paris, or Rome. I've been to all before but always with family and I love the idea of being able to do whatever I want for a week! |

I treated myself to a mid-range safari in Kenya and Tanzania when I was in my mid-30s, pre-DH and child, and ending a month of work in Nairobi. I was the only solo person in the group and it was awkward. If I hadn’t already been on the continent (and didn’t have my then serious boyfriend to go home to) it might have been sort of depressing. I’d definitely look at a women’s tour group. We are looking at the 320 guest ranch in Montana for a stop when we visit national parks. I wonder about that or something similar. |

| I bet there's something nice and rejuvenating in THailand or Indonesia, google those places. |

| I've been wanting to go to one of those fancy dude ranches where they cook homemade food and you spend the days horseback riding and hiking and doing adventure activities. Maybe look into one of those? |
