"I was hoping to get away somewhere with a friend in the autumn to celebrate 20 years of friendship but the rising cost of living as a single person living alone is fucking killing me, so I think it will be another year where the luxury of a holiday will have to wait ![]() Exactly the same here, living alone is great but bloody expensive right now. I may squeeze a 7 nighter in later in the year though if a bargain comes up. | |||

It is bloody hot though. | |||

I'm not built for that heat ![]() | |||

Also live on my own with a toddler so EVERYTHING is expensive! North Macedonia - Lake Ohrid? Beautiful and really cheap even in July/August. Those ex Yugoslavian countries all very reasonable. | |||

Accommodation can be cheap, not in August though, and the ferries are great. Overnight ferries cut out a nights accommodation and that way you will cover a lot of the country. | |||

"Potentially looked at Gdansk as we did Krakow a few years ago and loved it, and Poland is relatively cheap compared to much of Western Europe. I'll have to see how the summer goes. There are quite a few places in Eastern Europe in my list to visit. I much prefer a city break over a beach one. " I’m working my way through Spanish cities just now. I’ve done about 13 in the last couple of years. I travel between them by bus or train. | |||

"Not booked anything yet but my friends and I are thinking of Porto in October. And before that, I was going to book a solo trip to Krakow for 3 days but need to book that too. Really should get that done 😅" Oh shit, came back to this thread having actually done both! 😆 | |||

"I already had what I thought might be my only holiday this year - I did a week's cultural tour around Greece in February. Finally starting a new job in a couple of weeks after 9 months out of work, so once I've had my first pay I shall look at booking another trip for later this year." I like that cultural tour. I did Athens for the archeological sites. But I just get a map, cheap hotel and walked for 12 hours a day. Married now though. | |||

"Why? What problem did you experience?" I am very interested in history so I went for that. I hated being in Egypt though because I hate Egyptian people. I think Egypt is wrongly marketed to tourists. Asif it's a friendly safe place when it's very dangerous and full of scams and dick heads. Put it this way. I can walk down the road in daylight in Nigeria and a % of people will try to hustle you but the majority won't. But if you go walk in Egypt every single person is trying to scam you. You can't retreat to you're tour guide or the all inclusive staff, or the authorities....every single one of them is a dodgy prick. You get grabbed by creepy gay Egyptians and they try dragging you into their shops then shutting the doors on you. If you stop at a service station in the desert and ask "how much is this coca cola" they say "$10" The best way to treat them is Asif you are a colonial British lord and they are just serfs/peasants to be criticized. If you show them any respect they just take you're kindness for weakness. They litter everywhere, they don't clean anything, there are dead cats in the Nile and they abuse animals for fun... Nigeria is the worse sub Saharan example I can give you but the people there are far better and more civilized and friendly than Egyptians. My advice is stay in you're group/hotel....don't tip any of them (it only encourages them) Consider it a once in a lifetime adventure to see amazing archeology. But be careful because Egyptians are the worse people in the world. | |||

"I do more "weekend breaks" rather than fully-blown holidays, and try to have those once a month or so. The next one is booked for Easter- two nights in a beautiful little cottage half way between Chesterfield and Matlock. It has been booked since we visited for the first time last year, as you don't find such a gem very often. It's also very near my "therapy centre", Crich Tramway Village ![]() Sounds a great find tbh | |||

Sure, there's the "how many camels for her?" type questions which are admittedly tiring esp if you're there for a period of time but overall I really liked people there. I studied in Hurghada for a few months and traveled around and didn't find it troublesome. | |||
