What happened

From the wildlife wonders of Costa Rica to the charming old towns of Estonia, here’s where you should be headed.

Why it matters

There is nothing I love more than travelling solo.

Common ground

You can get up as early – or as late – as you want, potter around a museum without ever being pressured to move on to the next room, and eat whenever, and whatever, you fancy (girl dinner, always).

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
