Hi All,

Well this summer I have one month free to go on a big trip. I really want to go out and have some serious fun and enjoy the best of life for awhile. I’m wondering if any dopers would have some ideas for me. I have some…but for me the hardest part may be traveling alone. I want to be social and also have fun!

I’ve been to Central Europe, and India as well as most major places in Canada.

I’ve thought of doing a volunteer vacation, or perhaps some sort of organized group vacation. I really would like to meet new people and not be solitary. Any ideas?

Good grief, I was thinking of Myrtle beach. 😛

A volunteer vacation sounds fantastic!

Come to Angola. Nice beaches and good beer. It’s a really long flight, though.

If I had a month off, I’d rent an RV and drive around the US.
