Traveling with family and friends makes for an exciting time filled with laughs and memories; however, some trips beg for solo exploration. The number of solo travelers embarking on adventures has skyrocketed in years and is no longer taboo. From the landscapes of Ireland to the beaches of the Caribbean, many destinations are friendly to single travelers. The destination you choose should be in safe location, easy to navigate and a place that lets you focus on the present.
Immerse yourself in the community and engage yourself in an international connection on your own. Traveling alone is self indulgent, as you can eat whenever and whatever you’re in the mood for, skip iconic sights, spend as little or as long in one place as you’d like and basically create your own schedule. Those who travel alone make themselves more available for local discovery of an unfamiliar place, as you may be more likely to try new food or strike up conversation with a local. Traveling solo allows you to try new things.
Trek through Europe on a multiday trip and you’ll encounter many alike. Pass lighthouses, golf courses and castles in Scotland, while in Spain take more of the historic route.
Retreat to Hawai’i and spend a few days mediating and practicing yoga.
Paris, France, has an array of bistros where you can dine on pastries and observe French culture.
Find your zen in Bali, Indonesia, with yoga, spas, beaches and much more. This diverse destination is a staple for solo travelers. The cost of living is relatively low, excellent for those traveling on a budget.
If you are not up for planning your own adventure, tour companies offer a variety of perks to help accommodate you. Tours take travelers to Peru, Thailand and Kenya, with a variety of tour styles. The Travel Companions program allows travelers to create an online profile in a private community to meet fellow travelers with similar interests before the adventure.
Happy solo travels!
