Breakups suck.
Yet, we somehow always find a way to pick ourselves up and keep going — whether it's by meeting new people or drowning our sorrows in a big bowl of Rocky Road.
However, sometimes the best way to get over an ex is to pack your bags and get away.
Whether you want to go the "Eat, Pray, Love" route or would prefer to party with someone new, here are the 19 best trips to take to mend a broken heart.
Machu Picchu, Peru
If you thought your ex took your breath away, wait until you see the stunning views of Machu Picchu, set high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. And if that won't do it, the multi-day uphill trek along the historic Inca Trail will.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Is there a better place to distract yourself from your ex than Sin City? Between wild pool parties, incredible shows, and the many games at the many casinos, you won't have a second to think about them. Even better, Vegas is home to some of the most famous pawn shops in the world, such as Gold & Silver Pawn Shop from the History Channel's show "Pawn Stars, Vegas," so why not make some money off of your ex's gifts?
Lisdoonvarna, Ireland
Sometimes the best way to get over someone is to put yourself out there again. The Matchmaking Festival in Lisdoonvarna is the perfect place to start. The festival, which goes from September 1 through October 8, attracts over 40,000 people, and pairs many of them off thanks to speed-dating events and dances in pubs. There are also daily matchmaking sessions with Matchmaker Willie Daly in his ‘office’ — the Matchmaker Bar.
