1. Australia

Australia Australia has a culture that embraces travel and a big part of that culture is solo travel. For a big country, Australia is easy to get around with great infrastructure that includes cheap internal flights. There’s a real sense of independence everywhere in Australia. The cities are safe and there’s loads to do, especially in Sydney. You can climb the bridge, take a ferry boat across the harbour, tour the opera house or just chill out on Bondi Beach.

2. Ireland

Ireland Ireland’s appeal for solo travelers is the friendliness of the locals and you don’t ever need to feel alone if you don’t want to. There are countryside attractions such as lakes and mountains as well as the city sights of Dublin, all of which can be rounded off by joining the locals in a sing song and a pint of the black stuff in one of the many pubs.

4. Costa Rica

Costa Rica Costa Rica is great for the adventurous solo traveler. There are volcanoes to climb, rain forest to explore and some of the most beautiful beaches on earth. You can try out rafting or kayaking on the some of the wild rivers, take a zip line ride through the canopy of the jungle and surf, snorkel and scuba off the coast. If you like an adrenalin hit and have got the time, head to Costa Rica, it really is the perfect place to try the advantages of solo travel for the very first time.

5. New York

New York New York has one of the largest populations of singletons anywhere in the world, so if you want to blend in then this is the place for you. NYC is easy to get around with a highly efficient subway system and loads of taxis but it is also easy to get around on foot. Contrary to popular belief, New Yorkers are helpful and happy to help if you need directions. Another urban myth is that New York isn’t a safe city. Obviously you need to take care of yourself and your belongings, and wandering in central park after dark isn’t recommended but you will face no more dangers here as a solo traveler than in any other city in the developed world.

6. Peru

Peru Peru offers solo travelers a diverse culture and rich history combined with a varied landscape that includes mountains, rainforest and desert; there is something in this evocative country to appeal to everyone. Peru is famous the world over for the Inca Trail which ends at Machu Picchu but you will still feel as though you discovered these incredible ancient ruins when you arrive for the first time. Thrill seekers can also enjoy a host of river activities such as canoeing, kayaking and rafting trips on the Apurimac and Urabamba rivers.

7. A Caribbean Cruise

A Caribbean Cruise Even though cruises are generally thought of as holidays for couples, but they have a lot to offer for solo travel. A Caribbean singles cruise is a wonderful experience and a chance to enjoy the luxurious beaches as well as the cool wind and gorgeous blue sea. On top of all that, there are lots of other things going on. Jamaica and the Turks and Caicos all offer great diving, Antilles and Aruba are perfect places for wind surfing and the San Juan and St Maarten casinos are second to none. If you can time your visit to coincide with a regatta or festival, you’ll have the time of your life.

So that’s my list of Ideal Destinations for Solo Travel. It really is a great way to see the world and the sooner you try solo travel for yourself, the sooner you will start to have fun and be able to start writing your own list.

Hey, just wanted to know if you know where I can get the outfit the girl is wearing in the very first photo? Especially LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE her boots!!!

interesting site, but the pagination is really annoying. Why content loads automatically on home page and not auto on all other pages ?

Good work.. I'll add that travelling alone in eastern Europe a few years back was amazing for me. Serbia, Bosnia, and Romania were all most welcoming and I felt far safer than I ever have in Paris or London at night..
