My divorce is going to be final at the end of this month and I am looking to take a trip somewhere to just get away from everything. I am 31 and am up for just about anything. I travel a a decent amount for work to where traveling by myself isn't an issue. I am open to any and all ideas.

You might should narrow it down to what region you are interested in, what you like to do, budget, flying vs driving, etc.

I've got the itch to do a short trip alone since I haven't had one in a while and Asheville keeps calling my name. I want to stay in the city and walk to all of the great breweries and listen to music at night. Early in the day I want to go do some hiking or rafting or something.

Got any hobbies?

I like to fish so if it was me I would take a couple days and do that. Maybe FL Keys, Cuba, Mexico, Belize, etc...

Also without a wife or gf in tow you don't have to stay at the nicest place in town and could get by pretty cheap (main cost would be guide and flight).

Is there a place you always wanted to visit, but were never able to while you were married?

If not, England is pretty dang awesome if you're willing to do something international.

The Smokey Mountains are great for hiking, site seeing, white water rafting, and just getting away from life for a bit. The Pigeon river and the Ocoee (O-Coy) are great for white water rafting.

I'd go post up in some remote Colorado ski town. Should be quiet and scenic. Can hike, fish, explore, and partake

Definitely a good time to relax and clear your head

In a month? Alaska. June is a great month to visit there. Tons of sunlight. Fly to Anchorage, get a rental car, buy some basic camping supplies (hotels are expensive and the people in the campgrounds are more interesting), and go explore the Kenai Peninsula and up around Denali (Talkeetna is cool and maybe spend some time on the Denali Highway).

Do the four corners (Key West, Maine, Washington, San Diego) on a BNW motorcycle.

I didn't read the whole thread, so apologies if it has been said. My answer...Norway. It's breathtakingly gorgeous, you can be in cities one minute, then an hour later complete solitude. It is a massive country and I spent a little over 3 weeks there.

I would say fly to Oslo, rent a car, and just drive around the entire southern region. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I could give you a million recs and things to do.

PS: They have some of the greatest hikes in the world there, too if that's your thing

Fresh off a divorce, you probably need some hookers and blow. Go to Vegas and have a good time

Age is about right. Why anyone gets married these days as a man is beyond me.

What area of the country interests you?

Depends what you like and want to see.

Scenery in North America is unmatched.
