Solo Travel.
Solo travel isn’t for everyone and honestly, I’d prefer to travel with someone! However, I have such a desire to travel the world, that I know there are times when solo travel is a must.
If you are considering solo travel, it can be both liberating and confronting. It can be a lonely experience or a beautiful adventure like my solo trip to Fiji and long weekend in Panama. Let’s dive into some destinations I’ve visited solo and destinations I’ve been that would also make great solo trips!

Solo Travel FAQs
Is solo travel safe for women?
Absolutely, with smart planning and awareness. Many of the destinations I write about are solo-friendly, and each blog post includes specific safety advice.
How do I choose a destination for my first solo trip?
Look for places with good infrastructure, welcoming locals, and plenty of solo activities—like Barbados, Iceland, or Greece.
Do you ever feel lonely traveling solo?
Occasionally—but I often meet other travelers or enjoy the freedom to explore on my own terms. Group tours, hostels, or day trips help if you’re looking for connection.
The Yasawa Islands of Fiji were one of my favorite trips — solo or otherwise! Click here to explore more Fiji travel tips, or grab my free Quick Guide to help plan your island-hopping adventure.
Additional Destinations for Solo Travel
I haven’t traveled to these destinations solo, but I do think they are worth considering! You want to feel safe wherever you choose, and these countries are generally considered safe.
If you are on the fence about a destination, shelf it for now, and go somewhere you can feel more at ease. This will help build confidence. Regardless of where you go, trust your gut, and practice normal safety precautions.
