The world is an adventure waiting for you to experience. Maybe, you are traveling alone because you didn’t have friends willing to join you, or perhaps because you enjoy moments of solitude that traveling in groups doesn’t offer.
Maybe you have a personal bucket list of destinations and are having difficulty finding a travel partner with the same passion as you for the places you desire to explore. In any case, check out these welcoming destinations for single travelers.
Australia
“Australia is just so full of surprises.” – Bill Bryson
Australia is a great destination for those who are looking for a variety of adventures. Many women travel alone in this country. From sunny beaches and snorkeling to the excitement of big cities, Australia has unlimited options for the solo traveler. You can also rent a variety of rooms and private apartments there, which means you can save money and live quite comfortably while on your travels.
Thailand
Thailand is a welcoming place for the solo traveler. Beautiful temples and amazing walking trails are among the many activities you can enjoy in this country. Bangkok, in particular, is a fantastic place to travel alone, yet you will find that you do not feel alone for long due to the many amazing people you will meet.
Tanzania
Tanzania has many rich experiences that await the solo traveler. Going on a safari is a must, but there are many other great adventures – such as hiking Kilimanjaro. Both places have many companies that offer group trips. You will find the people who live there very welcoming and make you feel at home.
Ireland
Ireland is a fun country for the individual who chooses to travel alone. It is normal for women to be alone there, and there is no language barrier to face, making the journey a little more manageable. Even strangers are friendly, and those from Ireland will be happy to help you if you need directions or ideas about what to do next. Take time to soak in the beautiful scenery Ireland offers, and visit a few pubs while you are there.
Japan
Japan is a beautiful country full of rich experiences. People have a reputation for welcoming visitors, and you will have no trouble finding help when needed. Consider visiting some temples and museums there, and enjoy the tasty cuisine, which is generally healthy and light.
Spain
Hotels generally give you a reasonable rate when traveling alone, which is not the case in all countries. Spain is another place to visit where solo travelers are not out of place. Short and extended study vacations abound in Spain, so it is a great place to travel alone when learning is one of your goals.
Traveling alone is an experience that will help you learn more about yourself, become comfortable in your own skin, and gain a new confidence that will always stay with you. Consider trying at least one of the locations on this list if you desire to learn more about the world and have a wonderful, unforgettable time on your trip for one.
