I never thought I'd go on a solo trip. I've always been independent and have been traveling alone from the UK to India to visit family since I was 16.
But there was something about spending all my time alone that seemed like it would be boring or even uncomfortable.
Switzerland is somewhere I'd always wanted to visit, being an avid Bollywood film fan growing up. The picture-perfect scenery was featured in many of the biggest movies to come out of India. In fact, many parts of Switzerland have paid homage to India's biggest director and advocate for Swiss tourism, Yash Raj Chopra.
It's not lost on me that traveling alone as a female opens you up to certain vulnerabilities and safety concerns. So I ended up opting for a luxury spa and wellness hotel in Switzerland as I could dip my toe in the solo traveling pool, and if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have to leave the confines of the resort.
I chose the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, a luxury five-star wellness hotel in Bad Ragaz, a mountain town close to Liechtenstein, as my home for a weekend in March.
The hotel was split into different wings, each with its own aesthetic and price range; I chose a room in the modern area. It totaled around £700, roughly $880 per night.
