I was supposed to be going on holiday at the end of July with a mate of mine and it turns out that he’s been a Billy Bull*******. Basically, one minute his budget was X then it was Y, then he couldn’t afford it but could next year and so forth. He messed me about that much I began to realise this so called “Holiday” was never going to happen.

So, as a result I’ve told him where to go (after a rather big fall out) and now I’m stuck on what to do. Normally, I’d just put this one down to bad luck and leave it at that. However, I haven’t been away for nearly 3 years and I was very much looking forward to this “trip”.

I really want to do something as I’m sure you would agree when I say just working and earning money makes one miserable over a period of time if there is nothing to look forward to and the money you’re earning is just sat in the bank. Added to the fact that a lot of my work colleagues are going away over the summer and it’s all I seem to hear about is only making me feel more miserable.

I’m determined to do something but I quite literally don’t know where to go. I think it’s fair to say that a beach holiday is out of the question now as I imagine I’d look like a pleb on my jack jones where these places are full of groups of women and lads or mixed groups that are out for the 3 S’s.
I’m trying to be as positive as I can now and want to use this situation to my advantage as I can plan a trip just for me, without worrying about anyone else.

I’m after somewhere that’s going to give me a sense of adventure and obviously a place with great nightlife and good culture too. I’ve never been away on my own and I have absolutely no experience of travelling alone or the what to and what not’s.

I’ve done a tad bit of research and asked about but I get bombarded with different opinions etc. Now that’s fair enough as everybody has a different experience and a trip for one person may not be as enjoyable for another.
I’ve been advised to go to places in Europe as I’m starting out but then others have said for a better experience to go as far as Asia (Thailand pops up a lot). I don’t really have a budget in mind but I’d like to go somewhere for maybe 3 weeks.

Whilst I’m on the subject of Thailand, I don’t know how true it is but I have been told on more than one occasion that the Women (yes, the women :D) are stunning and your chances of copping off are quite high. That is obviously one of the reasons I want to go away, to sample the female talent. Perhaps someone can confirm this.

So, GD I put it you to help me out with this one. If you were in my situation, single with a fair bit of spare cash to play with, where would you go?
Thanks

in before Thailand...
Maybe go somewhere which the accent has been over used, girls love an exotic accent (apparently) Maybe Japan/Korea or try the US
 
If you are getting with a local in Thailand she will expect to be paid and might possibly be a man. Go on a European city break or find some friends.
 
How much do you want to spend?

I was going to suggest an orhaganised trip with someone like GAdventures or intrepid however it doesn't sound like your thing. They are a mix of young people (usually a few single girls from Oz, Canada etc) but normally it doesjt involve getting trashed every nighg, on the other hand if you're fairly extrovert then you'll probably find someone to keep you warm...

It kinda sounds like you want one of the usual gap year places so Thailand would probably be your best bet! There are probably booze cruise style tours similar to intrepid etc that will go there.
 
Maybe Hong Kong? Plenty to do and most people speak English. It's a good mix of "East meets West", so you'll feel like you're on an adventure but it will also seem safe and not too overwhelming for a first trip on your own. I loved it there.

EDIT: Obviously not enough for 3 weeks on its own :)
 
Have you been around Europe much? Europe is so diverse and has a lot to offer. I find people always overlook it in favor of going some where exotic like SE Asia.
 
I've been to Amsterdam a few times but it's a case of been there, done that and got the T Shirt. I was looking at Reykjavík as one of my options as I hear the nightlife there is very good.

So is your #1 priority just nightlife and pulling?
 
Thai girls are revolting, they make me sick. They're not like the other Asian woman I sex-pest over and they're not nearly subservient enough to make me feel more of a man than I really am. Do yourself a favour and get an Asian girlfriend because they're much better than those British ones who don't know how to act like proper women. Ask me about mentioning how sexually attracted I am to Asian woman (but not those filthy Thai ones!) in every single post I make on this forum, even, and especially, if the topic is nothing to do with Asian woman!

I AM A COLOSSAL WOMAN BOTHERER.
 
Get in your car and drive to Berlin-Krakow-Bratislava-Budapest and party like the sex pest maniac you are. If you can't pull then go and see one of the many prostitutes these places have to offer.
 
Thailand or Bognor.

Seriously though - It's not unusual to go Thailand on your own on a bit of a backpacking expedition. You'll meet new friends over there and the nightlife will be good (if that's what you're into). There'll also be a fair amount of backpacking females if you're looking to hook up.

out of those I've only been to Amsterdam so far, had a great time.
If your looking at a 3 week jaunt why not have a look at one of those Euro rail tickets and just travel around a few places?

Not sure how well I would appreciate 3 weeks in one place tbh
