A hot springs phase sounds like fun @indigoocean.
I went to a lot of hot springs when I lived in The States but only wild ones that you had to hike to. Most of the time I was on my own or with my young daughter.
I also went to some in New zealand. A particular favourite was a beach where you could dig your own! 😁
Digging your own sounds really intriguing. Were you supposed to fill it in again afterward, or were there just all these dug holes all over the place from various visitors? Cool that you would go to them alone sometimes. On the one hand, I can see it being easier to be at a wild one alone because there aren't all couples around you and just you with no one to talk to. On the other hand there is some safety concern in that situation that there isn't at a spa. But life is for living.
The holes didn't last very long @indigoocean because they were dug in sand. As soon as you got out they started to fill in again because of the moving water.
It was in my younger, traveling days. The longer I was away the more relaxed I got and the less I worried about safety.
Also, I would say that culturally I think about safety less than seems to be the case in the American culture. 😊
