Solo trip to europe for two weeks this august, 27/F, deciding between two options: city and beachside or maybe both! I generally like walkable cities, good food, bespoke wine bars, stay a while in cafe scenes. Aside from London, Paris, Lisbon, (been to these cities already) any recommendations?? Keeping in mind that europe is still easing out of covid restrictions, would like to head somewhere that’s going to be more open. TIA :).

Prague is a good one too. And perhaps Greek islands.

Hmmm we might need to think about whats actually open in Europe in August, generally Europe shuts down in August so all the Europeans can go on vacation. No clue how covid will change that

I was in Spain May-July & Italy August 2018 and had some issues with that actually.

Spain was just starting to close but quite a few of the restaurants I had picked out in Italy (Rome, Florence, Milan, etc) were closed! Not sure what that’ll look like this year as we didn’t really have issues w/ attractions being closed but definitely is something to consider.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back.

We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
