"Are you Hungary for adventure?"

Sure there are perils to solo-travelling, but the reward that comes with it is far more attractive: self-love, self-discovery, independence, and freedom. So seize this opportunity because there’s still so much to explore for yourself. It’s not every day you get to do things that contribute to your self-betterment. Though it can be scary if it’s your first time, you can prep yourself with Klook’s helpful list of ‘me-time’ experiences around the world you should go for. With hectic schedules taking a toll on you, it’s time to unplug, take a break, spend more time with yourself and restore your balance at these serene places.

BE ROYALLY PAMPERED

If you’re feeling a bit bougie? Take a dip in the frosty blue waters of Széchenyi’s hot springs. Feast your eyes upon the majestic neo-baroque architectures while relaxing by the medicinal pools. Also, try the whirlpools, water jets, underwater aqua massage and explore the labyrinth of the palace hiding 18 pools. Where Széchenyi Spa, Budapest, Hungary

RECONNECT WITH NATURE

Hustling 24/7? It’s best to do a brain dump once in a while and Bali’s just the right place for a mindful retreat. Empty your headspace with the Mount Abang Jungle Trekking and Kintamani Sunrise Yoga session. This full-day excursion allows you to reconnect with nature during a meditative walk through the woodlands, visit a village for an earth ritual, unwind with yoga, join a watercleansing ceremony and fuel up with a hearty meal.

DE-STRESS IN ONSEN

When life gives you lemons, nothing beats an effective pick-me-up like a good soak in an onsen. Not trying to sugar coat but the mineral-rich waters are honestly so good for soothing tight muscles and relieving stress! For a proper experience, jet off to Tokyo’s Oedo-Onsen-Monogatari and be awestruck by the variety of hot springs they house on their sprawling grounds. Where Oedo-Onsen-Monogatari, Tokyo, Japan
