How to run away for a week
How I did it: I decided I just wanted to run away and be by myself.
I took my savings and made arrangements to go to Toronto Canada. ALONE. Yep. All alone, to a city I have never been to. All the way from California ;)
I researched the internet, looked for hotels, fun places to go, parks, restaurants, museums, etc.
I got a few books about Toronto too. The more I learned, the more excited I became! It was a bit scary at first, but my urge to get away was stronger than my fear of flying to a new city alone for a week.
Lessons & tips: Just do it! It doesn't have to be another country, it can be just a trip to the beach, lake or mountains. As long as you are alone for awhile.
It's amazing how liberating it is. And reminds us that we all need to get away from time to time and learn to be friends with ourselves, and to love ourselves.
