Prague. But I have a sweet spot for the place anyway.  If I had two weeks, I’d plan some countryside excursions, maybe to breweries, maybe to smaller towns.

August is a GREAT time to visit Alaska and it’s not like any other place. 

New Zealand. See a sheepshearing demo and attend a Maori dinner in Rotorua. Fly to Christchurch and rent a campervan. Places to see: Dunedin (go to the albatross sanctuary on the Otago peninsula and get directions from the staff to a private beach, where you can watch the yellow-eyed penguins come in from the sea at

Anytime I have an opportunity to leave the country I always want to go to Spain. Barcelona is my favorite city in the world, siesta is excellent for jet lag, the food is amazing, the architecture is even better, the people are warm and welcoming, and the Costa Brava is gorgeous if you want to get out of the city. I’ve

Ooh, also India. And Singapore. I would just go to Singapore to get fat on the world’s best street food. I dream of one day going on one of the Tricycle Foundation’s guided trips to holy Buddhist sites in India.

I’d go anywhere in another country as long as it was rural and not a place tourists are expected to go. I don’t like being round lots of people (explained in my rather long post elsewhere on this article) and I feel you only get a real sense of a country in the places where they aren’t perceived to be catering for or

I did my first big solo trip to London last year and really loved it!  (But I had never been before -- if you’ve already been, ignore me!)

What would you like to achieve with your holidays?? Positano is fantastic, but don’t spend two there alone! You could do: Rome, Positano, Capri, Palermo and then back.

I would go back to Puerto Rico and shower the resort staff with tips.

I am a single woman who travels regularly(and I’m disabled to boot!). If you feel especially nervous about it, perhaps take an escorted group tour to a region you’ve always wanted to go to. You’ll get to see a lot that way. (Globus is my favorite tour company. They are a bit more expensive but so worth it.) Some of my

The Black Forest is magical. Germany is one of my favourite countries, if I could relocate anywhere else in the world right now it would be Berlin. Or Copenhagen. I love Austria too, Vienna is pretty special. Interesting that you mention Romania, I’ve always been bizarrely drawn to it but am yet to get myself over

Yemen. Were it possible. For the architecture, alone. But, also, because it is a unique crossroads and culture like no other. But I do not suggest that you travel to Yemen. One day, perhaps, there shall be peace in the world.

I went to Rome about 10 years ago and loved it! Croatia, both the interior and the Mediterranean coast, was also gorgeous. I’ve also always wanted to go to the Black Forest in Germany, Salzburg in Austria, and Romania. So many places to visit! I hope you have a great trip wherever you land on.

Japan! I would love to go to Japan, my husband and I always say some day, but I’m newly determined to make it happen! I’m starting my research right now! 

What did you do this week to make someone else’s day?

Or, as you noted, he's simply cowardly

The Hitman’s Bodyguard, BlackKKlansman was amazing, and...Red and Red 2. I enjoyed those a lot, very funny.

If you can tolerate cheesy-creepy-supernatural suspense, I recommend the oldie but goodie Dead Again.

Both of these are a little more low-key, and thrilling in their own way, but I really liked Ex Machina and Annihilation. Alex Garland is turning into a real excellent purveyor of intelligent, measured genre films.

If you liked The Martian, did you watch “Arrival”? It’s seriously amazing. They somehow made a movie from a story about a weird linguistic theory based on one character’s internal monologue and it WORKS.
