I will have a week off in November that happens to coincide with my 40th birthday. I want to do something fun, but it will likely have to be solo, so I'd like to go somewhere safe for a solo female traveler. I would happily join a group tour, though I don't know if it's possible at this point.
Most likely leaving out of Baltimore though very flexible with that too. Ideas? |

What do you like to do? City, nature, spa, etc?
I have done trips through adventures in good company and enjoy them, though you would be on the younger side of attendees. |

In November, I’d probably opt for something on the warmer side — Maybe Spain, Portugal, or somewhere else in southern Europe on the Mediterranean. Italy might be nice since it will be before the Jubilee crowds coming next year. A week is a decent chunk of time to fly to Europe. Paris will be colder/darker, but I think it’s a great place for solo travelers (the French tend to leave you alone; meaning you could spend hours in a cafe just people-watching and no one will bat an eyelash).
Or head west to Napa/Sonoma — hopefully fall colors will still be beautiful and you could stay at a nice spa. Have fun and happy birthday! |

OP here. I like cities, nature, art, not really a spa or lay out in the sun type.
Great ideas so far thanks! |

| Chicago. Weather will be nice. Art Instutute, Natural History Museum, architecture boat tour. Stay in a nice hotel, walk around. |

NYC and see a show, do the museums. |

| I liked the Caribbean, esp the French West Indies, in November. Shoulder season so it’s less crowded and hurricanes over |

Buenos Aires, explore the Salta region (you can join a multi-night tour for transport), Iguazu Falls. If you like hiking and have some flexibility on how long of a trip, head down to Patagonia. El Chalten and Calafate. |

What a strange question. PP, why are you *not* solo? |
