re: Long term divorced, looking to travel in the next 18 months. Never traveled alone.

18 months affords you plenty of time whatever you decide. Friendly advice since you opened the door;
1. Workout and eat right. Feeling strong and feeling good helps in every area. Since your kids will be away it also gives you a hobby which will positively impact every area of your life.
2. The first suggestion will lead to more opportunities to meet women, wherever you decide to vacation/visit.
3. You do not have to be social to everyone but if you can work on your skill it will help open doors. Read books on conversation skills. The most important skill you can have in life is the ability to communicate effectively.
My personal experience was when I graduated from professional school. I was awkward and very limited socially. All I had done was study and give my all to professional ambitions . Regardless, I knew the above and worked to change to those weaknesses. I worked out and greatly improved my physical appearance and read books, which was natural, to improve my social skills. The funny thing is I began getting attention from many women. Then that one women came along and she has been my wife and soul mate for the last 22 years.
I would wish you luck but I think being intentional is a much better route to your future self.

I think that some of you don't really understand what OP is trying to do. He's about 50 and wants a new, pretty, 30-year-old wife to start a second family with. He wants more kids. If he's bald, a little overweight, and doesn't have an elite income, he would struggle to attract that woman, and those of you telling him to find an American woman need to look at the situation honestly and quit telling him that he has a problem for not believing in himself that he can find her. He's realistically looking at the situation and correctly assessing that there are lots of foreign women who meet his criteria who would be interested in him.
I mostly agree with this. But there are only a few paths to make this happen, in order of most transactional to most self-fulfilling/sincere. 1st, no travel, pay a service to arrange everything. 2nd, travel, pay for services, then make an offer. 3rd, move to a country and find someone there. 4th, the longer-term approach I posted, better yourself, learn a new language, move to an international city or travel extensively for work/a purpose that gives you a reason to meet women other than I'm traveling to find a new wife. No sure if OP is capable of any of these, but that's my advice if he isn't interested in American women.

It really will turn into an OT thread at this point. Oh well. Hard pass. theres no good catches in my age range in the US. theyre all either snatched up or damaged goods. No offense to your wives and daughters but I would rather cast my net somewhere that the culture of the people is not narcississtic. I'll have a better chance of being happy like that, than looking for some needle in a haystack stateside.
You’re a fricking idiot dawg. Just get an escort, cheaper and a hell of a lot less trouble than your half baked idea

I have a crabby toddler at home that wanted to eat an entire jar of pickles
How did this turn out? Did the toddler turn into a vinegar and salt fueled Hulk? How much carpet cleaner did you need?
I distracted him with a plate of applesauce and some leftover hotdog bites which he ate promptly and then barfed all over. The date was current for all of those. It's been a long week. I think his tummy is upset.

As soon as I saw this, I knew more vomit would be involved.

Baw you need a Mexican-American girl or a country girl.

If you're not used to doing things on your own, try a group tour ie Globus or a Viking River cruise. Both of my brothers have done river cruises down the Danube and loved it.

Good suggestions, but one BIG caveat for the OP on this...
We've done 9 cruises with Viking: 7 river and 2 on the ocean (most recently Norway to Iceland and it was SPECTACULAR!!)
But...
For Viking, the average age of Viking Cruises passengers typically falls between 55 and 75 years old. Mostly retirees and some working professionals with flexible schedules. They aren't cheap BTW. But a key point is it's going to be mainly couples. I do think Viking does a solid job making singles feel welcome. The vibe is relaxed and social, with open seating at meals and plenty of chances to connect during excursions. That said, single supplements can be steep unless you catch a promo—so watch for deals.
Viking's Single Supplements
Other options could include Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, and Singles Travel International—each offering solo cabins, social lounges, and activities geared toward single activities. Silversea and Azamara offer smaller ships where it’s easy to connect according to friends I know that have done them.

I feel your pain, bro. American women mostly suck. They want to be the man in the relationship. They don't want to be a submissive woman at all. Go the foreign route. All my ex wanted to do was argue and be in control. And women I've dated since want to be my mother. Constantly 2nd guessing me. I'm a successful man running my own business. I'm not a person with "issues". Find a foreign woman who will worship you and love you for you. I'm now married to a Mexican, and I never knew such peace could be found in a relationship.
