Maybe you don’t need any Dr. Lisa platitudes, but if you get my drift, help me spread the word—vacationing alone is the best present you will ever give yourself-the tricky thing is, it’s disguised as a last choice, not the first choice status it deserves. Having taken many vacations by myself, from India to Block Island, I can tell you these have been some of the best times of my life as well as helping me develop a sense of freedom in other areas such as going to a party where I won’t know anyone or asking strangers to help me fix my car, etc. The best part is we’re from Bushwick, so at least we’ll have interesting stuff to chat about with all our new bff’s.
