This is the best place in the world to go after a divorce
The data backs up the claim. Breakups are brutal — but your post-split travel plans can go a long way toward promoting healing. With solo travel now widely embraced as the ultimate act of self-care, it's no surprise that 'divorcations' are trending. But if you're wondering where to go to hit the emotional reset button, a new study from the relationship recovery app SplitUp has the answer — and the top pick might surprise you. According to the data, Tokyo, Japan ranks as the world's best destination for a post-breakup trip. The researchers analyzed cities around the globe based on wellness access, natural features like lakes and green spaces, safety scores, and average hotel prices. Tokyo scored an impressive 9.03 out of 10 — thanks in large part to its whopping 1,815 spas and wellness retreats, the most of any city on the list. It also earned high marks for safety, with a rating of 4.7 out of 5, so solo travelers can roam freely with peace of mind. For those craving the soothing effects of water, Tokyo delivers: The city has 375 lakes, rivers, and beaches to help calm frayed nerves. Sealing the deal, a three-night hotel stay averages just $279, making Tokyo not only healing but affordable. Coming in second is London, with 1,148 wellness retreats and more green space than any other city analyzed. The city's 264 rivers, lakes, and beaches provide plenty of peaceful spots for reflection, while the cultural offerings — from museums to cozy pubs — give newly single travelers lots to explore on their own terms. Auckland, New Zealand ranks third, thanks to its jaw-dropping natural beauty and 226 bodies of water. It's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone looking to process a breakup by hiking, swimming, or zoning out in nature. Taipei and Seoul round out the top five, both with strong safety scores and plenty of spas, scenic areas, and solo-friendly vibes. Solve the daily Crossword

Man throws darts at world map, visits whichever country he hits: 'Are you crazy?'
A man has made travel an unpredictable adventure by throwing a dart at a map of the world while blindfolded — and visiting whichever country his darts happen to hit. Sorin Mihailovici, 48, a small business entrepreneur, started the journey in 2012 after telling a friend he wanted to "wake up one morning and throw a dart at a map and go there." Mihailovici began by visiting far-flung places like the North Pole, Russia and Indonesia, originally taking annual trips but now traveling to up to 16 destinations a year. The trips were initially funded by his savings and later through partnerships with companies, per SWNS. He doesn't travel to the exact spot where his dart lands, but begins in the country's capital because some nations, such as Uruguay, are too small for precise targeting, said Mihailovici. Mihailovici's favorite countries so far include Iceland, Argentina and Thailand, while Madagascar ranked "hands down" as his least favorite, he said, due to a "misconception" shaped by the animated movie sharing its name and locals who "didn't have the best intentions." Praising Vietnam, Mihailovici, a Canadian, insisted its cuisine is "the best street food I've ever had," and noted it was the cheapest destination that he's traveled to, SWNS reported. Some countries, especially in Scandinavia like Norway and Sweden, and places like Switzerland and the Maldives, can be quite expensive, he pointed out. Mihailovici's travel show, "Travel by Dart," features footage from his trips. He began editing and publishing the clips during the COVID pandemic, eventually selling the concept to a distribution company, as SWNS reported. "While we were at home, I started editing all those materials from every country and created a season of 13 episodes," he said. "Most of the time it's just me on location. I hire a local videographer, film and create episodes for YouTube — and over the years, I've started doing a show for Amazon Prime." Despite the unpredictable nature of his travels, Mihailovici said he isn't afraid of dangerous destinations. He was in Iraq recently, he said. "People said, 'Are you crazy?' Maybe it was not safe, but nothing happened to me. We went to Baghdad and Babylon. It was great. I was eating camel every day," Mihailovici told SWNS. He admitted he was "a little scared" about going to Iraq given the political situation, but was determined to follow through with wherever the dart suggested he go. "It was great. I was eating camel every day." "The idea is to visit the whole world, each and every country by dart," Mihailovici said. "I did all the big ones that are larger on the map," he said. "The smaller ones are hard to hit, and I'm also blindfolded [while throwing the dart], so I can't pinpoint it to a certain continent." Mihailovici said he hopes to continue expanding his travel list. He said Australia and Spain are his next dream destinations, though he admits they're "hard to hit" and plans another dart throw in August, according to SWNS. Among the countries he's traveled to so far are Easter Island, Indonesia, Bermuda, Portugal, Cuba, Thailand, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, Iceland, Greece, Japan, Antarctica, Germany, Vietnam, India, Turkey, South Korea and Yemen, SWNS reported. Mihailovici said hotels sometimes offer gratuities to be featured in his show, per SWNS.
