I have 3 and a half weeks off work in August, im a single 38 year old woman with no kids on a budget. Ive never solo travelled before, I could see myself working in a retreat or volunteering for the few weeks but I dont know what or where to look. Any tips?

Volunteering - animals, people, Africa? Asia? A men’s shed in Galway? What do you want? Relax, refresh mind?

ST Bernard pass in switzerland. There is still a lodge there of volunteers. See the Barry foundation, near Martiney. They have an excellence breeding program and museum for St Bernards.

volunteer lots of things where you can work and get free accommodation. maybe pick up a bit of language

Do some of the Camino. It's not a retreat nor a working trip, but it will offer you plenty of opportunity to be by yourself as well as meet others, as you see fit, and is a great way to just get away, have some headspace, see a different town each day, and is very budget-friendly.
