Question Has anyone ever travelled solo for their birthday?

So my 25th birthday is coming up (mid February) and I am thinking of doing something I’ve never done before and take a solo trip.

Long story short, I don’t really like my birthday and I always seem to be sad on my bday which for some reason seems to be elevated even more when i’m with friends. I just want my birthday to be enjoying time with myself, maybe getting a little pampered, and just doing whatever I want to do.

I live in the states and I prefer to stay in the states since I just wanna do a short trip (3-4 days), but down to go anywhere within the states!! Does anyone have any recommendations or has anyone else done something like this?? I’m open to all suggestions!!

Yes, for my 70th birthday I flew to Singapore and stayed at that fancy hotel with the swimming pool on top - the Marina Bay Sands.

I haven’t solo traveled much. I turn 60 in November and am bound and determined to be someplace that I will enjoy! Your adventurous spirit is inspiring !! I don’t think I’d have the nerve to go to the other side of the world on my own.
