My solo trip to Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania is in the works here: Czeching out Central Europe: Prague, Budapest, and Romania
It was a bit of an adventure, but worked out really well as a solo trip. I'm not sure if I know anyone personally who would have enjoyed all of it, although there were parts where I could see one or another. But the solo part worked out just fine!

Well, hi! It’s been a bit—haven’t traveled solo in a while, except a wee trip to Costa Rica, but here’s my solo-in-a-group (of three!) trip to Madagascar.

Thanks for topping this thread, Amy!
I'm firmly committed to solo travel, as I find it an incredibly self-indulgent luxury.
A toast to the privileges of travel without compromise! (Well, except for compromises with oneself.)
I linked my trip reports into this thread earlier. I'm fortunate to have travelled solo to quite a few places for which I haven't written trip reports. In case anyone, and particularly other women, have questions, my other solo trips of 3 weeks or longer include, in alphabetical order:

Thanks for the Inspiration – Here’s a Solo Travel Gem I Found
Wow, I love this idea – thanks for pulling these all together! I’ve just started exploring solo travel myself, and reading trip reports like these gives me a weird combo of wanderlust and comfort. 😅
I haven’t been to nearly as many places as you (yet!), but seeing destinations like Vietnam, Malta, and Iceland on your list is super inspiring. I especially loved the “100 Best” format – makes me want to do something similar for my next trip.
