First trip out of the country by myself advice?
Hi. I've been browsing old posts about which countries are good to visit as an american on a budget (Vietnam and Greece and the Galapagos are on my mind) and have been looking on Vrbo. I've never been out of the country but my new job closes down for 9 days in the summer so we can all have a nice vacation.
I'm interested in a beach vacation where I'm primarily enjoying local fruit, swimming, and eating out, a city vacation where I'm wandering around shopping, eating, architecture (does that get lonely?) , or a rural vacation where I'm in a cabin doing ruins tours or hikes and writing. I don't speak any other languages but I'll make an effort. Is Vrbo a good site? Do any of my vague desires ring a bell with some vacations you've been on?
Thank you (:
