Top 8 Destinations for Solo Travelers
06 Nov 2020
Solo travelling, at first, may not sound all that inviting to everyone, but it can prove to be a very rewarding and one-of-a-kind experience. One of the many benefits of solo travel is being free to do whatever you want and meet different people.
If you’re interested in solo travelling, check out these 8 destinations ideal for everyone travelling on their own.
1. Mexico
Many lone wolf travellers have chosen this Central American country as a perfect solo travel destination. There is so much to do and discover in Mexico, from their culture to exploring those scenic cenotes and eating amazing Mexican food.
If you’re going to be exploring the beauties of Mexico, one of the top things you should do is visit the Teotihuacan Pyramids. Similarly, being in Mexico and not experiencing the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza is a complete fail. So, make sure not to skip these sites.
2. Cuba
Cuban architecture, music, and culture are one of the kind in the whole world. Plus, because of the low crime rate, Cuba is one of the safest countries to visit today. When in Cuba, of course, you can’t miss visiting La Havana.
Trinidad and Santiago are the other two Cuban cities that totally deserve your attention. And when you’re in Trinidad, don’t forget to visit Cienfuegos, a small city established in 1819, that later became a UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll see why when you visit it!
3. Australia
If you were wondering about which country will be great for solo activities – we have one in mind – Australia. Australia is ideal for outdoor activities such as surfing, skydiving, snorkelling, and many others. Of course, we can’t go without mentioning the animal life in Australia.
In case, you’re a gay solo traveller, you’ll be happy to know that Australia is one of the biggest LGBT-friendly countries. Sydney alone has so many gay-friendly activities and gathering places, you’ll want to stay there and maybe even try gay matchmaking services if you’re looking for a romantic connection.
4. New Zealand
The beauty of this country is unparalleled. You will never regret the decision to travel to New Zealand. From breathtaking sceneries and nature to pretty coastal towns – New Zealand is ideal for solo travelling.
It’s a country that can be visited at any time of the year – it’s a country for all seasons. It offers many different activities such as horse riding, trekking, skiing, kayaking, and so on.
5. Spain
If it’s the old continent that you have your eyes on, you’re in luck. Europe is awesome for solo travellers.
Spain is one of the best countries to explore on your own. Especially if you want to visit Barcelona. There is so much to be done in this busy Catalan capital.
If, on the other hand, you want to go visit the capital city of Spain – Madrid – there is also a lot to be done there. You can see the rich Spanish architecture, busy streets, and many interesting barrios.
6. Ireland
Ireland is a dream country for solo visits – from friendly and welcoming patrons to green pastures and old castles. Dublin offers so much more than traditional pubs and a pint of Guinness.
While in Ireland, don’t forget to visit Galway and listen to traditional Irish music. Another must when in Ireland are Cliffs of Moher – a spectacular and unique site!
7. Nepal
Interested in discovering the culture and traditions of Asian people? You can very well do this on your own.
Nepal is merely one of the countries that you could visit in Asia. It offers adventures such as trekking the Annapurna Circuit and exploring the magical city of Kathmandu.
8. Japan
If you want to go further east, Japan is waiting for you. The country of the rising sun is very welcoming and friendly, especially if you’re willing to explore it on your own.
The blooming of cherry in Japan is a sight to see. The blooming starts in January in Okinawa and the last week of March in Tokyo and Kyoto. So, be sure to witness this spectacular sight when in Japan.
To sum up
The truth is once you start travelling on your own, you’ll never want to go accompanied ever again. There are so many places on this Earth that can be explored on your own, and the experience is one of a kind.
