Idyllic Locations For The Solo Traveller

If asked which destination you would love to explore, most would have an immediate answer. Asked if you would travel alone, would your response be as prompt?

Idyllic Locations For The Solo Traveller

Travelling alone can be a slightly daunting prospect – knowing that you’re going all the way to a remote location on your own, with little knowledge of the people or country itself. Safety concerns, loneliness and boredom can make solo travel scary or even unappealing. For women, travelling solo can be even more challenging with gender inequality issues around the globe. Despite this, these days my social media feeds are filled with pictures of solo adventurers around the world, heading to one gorgeous destination after another. So, why is it a good idea to travel somewhere alone?

You have the freedom to do whatever you want, when you want. Changing your plans halfway through the trip – what’s stopping you? And you’ll never truly be alone. With thousands of people travelling solo every day, the odds of you bumping into a few on your travels is high. Being forced out of your comfort zone allows you to become more self-reliable and self-confident, meet more locals, and immerse yourself deeper into the culture. It can do wonders for your mental and emotional health, and it can be a period of self-reflection and reinvention.

Whatever your reasons, those who have taken the leap agree that travelling solo can be one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have. With that in mind, we’ve created a list of some of the best places for single travellers.
