If you love the idea of going on a trip by yourself, picking the perfect spot in the world can make a difference and add to the pleasure and newness of the experience. Here are top solo women traveler destinations you’ll want to consider and check out:
Thailand
With plenty of temples to see and one of the best cuisines in Asia, Thailand offers a slew of sights you wouldn’t want to miss. If you love food, you’ll have a terrific time with local favorites like coconut ice cream sherbet, roasted seaweeds and Tom Yum, Pad Thai and more. A shopaholic? Bangkok offers several shopping destinations, from high-end Siam Paragon and Siam Square to incredible finds and designs from young designers that line a section of the well-known Sunday market, Jatujak. And then there are the temples with jaw-dropping architecture. With so many things to see and do, you’ll definitely find yourself extending your stay.
Japan
As one of the safest countries in the world, Japan tops the list for solo women traveler destinations and for good reason: anybody who loves cute stuff and who’s been a fan of Hello Kitty for years won’t pass up the chance to jet off for a few days to the land of the rising sun. Add in the fun of dressing up in a kimono and going around Arashiyama or Gion to shop, dine or just soak in the atmosphere of old Japan in Kyoto and you get to see why so many tourists come back, year after year.
Portugal
Take photos of the rock formations in the coast of Lagos. Marvel at the street entertainment. Hop onto the 28 tram and pay a visit to the city’s most popular landmarks. Do all that, says the Business Insider, when you go for a solo visit to one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. With plenty of hotels and shopping places around, this is another option you’ll want to consider.
