Hi guys!
Today I would like to share with all of you about the amazing places for solo travel. So, let’s check it up.
1. The USA

The USA is one of the best destinations for solo travellers given its diversity in terms of geography. In other words, The USA really does have something for everyone – pardon the cliche! Skiing in Montana? Check. Surfing in LA? Check. City breaking in NYC? Check. Pair this with the classic American friendliness and a bit of Southern Hospitality and it’s no surprise that The USA saw the biggest number of bookings from solo travellers in 2017.
The land of the free can be rather expensive to visit but luckily we have some top notch hostels that will help push the pennies even further!

So old chaps, second on the list of places to travel alone is England, with London being our highest booked solo travel city of 2017. Travellers head to London for that quintessential British experience. Red buses, black taxi cabs and a trip to Buckingham Palace to say hey to Queen Liz. Travellers also head to London to experience curry on Brick Lane, a pint in a traditional pub and some of the best nightlife in Europe.
3. Spain
📍Barcelona, Spain

Every city in Spain has a distinct and vibrant culture, meaning that you can spend months embarking on an epic Spanish city-crawl and never get bored. Although each city has its own unique feel, there’s one thing that connects them all: Spanish food is out of this world – seriously! Indulge in Tapas and Spanish wine until you’re sleepy enough to slip into a siesta, dreamy right?!
4. Australia
📍Sydney, Australia

Perhaps one of the first destinations that comes to mind when you think ‘backpackers’ and ‘solo travellers,’ it’s no wonder that Australia made it into our top 5 most booked countries by solo adventurers last year. Think awesome hostels, tanned surfer dudes, and some of the best diving spots in the world (just try not to think about a finned friend swimming below you!), Australia is almost a rite of passage for any seasoned backpacker. Often a port of call for solo travellers looking to work abroad and with friendly locals ready to offer tips, Australia is definitely one of the best places to travel alone.
5. Thailand
📍Phra Nang, Thailand

Thailand is a top destination for first time solo travellers, enticing in thousands of backpackers year on year. Bangkok serves as the gateway to South East Asia making Thailand a natural first stop on your travels. Having said this, Bangkok itself is a sight to behold and you’d be foolish to skip over it. Giving NYC a run for it’s money as ‘The City That Never Sleeps,’ Bangkok is loud, chaotic and sinfully exciting.
If you’re more of a beach boss than city slicker then it’s the islands for you my friend! With literally hundreds of islands to choose from, do some research before you head out and decide if you want a raging party island or secluded beach. Whatever you decide, be prepared for astounding beauty, white sands, cool beach bars and wicked snorkelling spots.
