The world is an adventure waiting for you to experience. Maybe you are traveling alone because you didn’t have friends willing to join you, or perhaps because you enjoy moments of solitude that traveling in groups doesn’t offer.

Maybe you have a personal bucket list of destinations and you are having difficulty finding a travel partner who holds the same passion as you for the places you desire to explore. In any case, check out these destinations that are welcoming to single travelers.

Australia

Canberra

Australia is a great destination for those who are looking for a variety of adventures. Many women travel alone in this country. From sunny beaches and snorkeling, to the excitement of big cities, Australia has unlimited options for the solo traveler. You can rent a variety of rooms and private apartments there as well, which means you can save money and live quite comfortably while on your travels.

Thailand

Chiang Mai

Thailand is a welcoming place for the solo traveler. Bangkok, in particular, is an amazing place to travel alone, yet you will find that you do not feel alone for long there, due to the many amazing people you will meet. Beautiful temples and amazing walking trails are among the many activities you can enjoy in this country.

Tanzania

Lushoto


Tanzania has many rich experiences that await the solo traveler. Going on a safari is a must, but there are many other great adventures – such as hiking Kilimanjaro. Both places have many companies that offer group trips. You will find the people who live there very welcoming and make you feel at home.

Ireland

Derryclare Lough
Ireland is a fun country for the individual who chooses to travel alone. It is normal for women to be alone there, and there is no language barrier to face which makes the journey a little more manageable. Even strangers are friendly, and those who are from Ireland will be happy to help you out if you need directions or ideas about what to do next. Take time to soak in the beautiful scenery that Ireland offers, and be sure to visit a few pubs while you are there.

Japan

Matsushima

Japan is a wonderful country full of rich experiences. People there have a reputation of being welcoming to visitors, and you will have no trouble finding help when needed. Consider visiting some temples and museums there, and enjoy the tasty cuisine, which is generally healthy and light.

Spain

Somiedo

Spain is another place to visit where solo travelers are not out of place. Hotels generally give you a reasonable rate when traveling alone, which is not the case in all countries. Short and extended study vacations abound in Spain, so it is a great place to travel alone when learning is one of your goals.

Traveling alone is an experience that will help you learn more about yourself, become comfortable in your own skin, and gain a new confidence that will always stay with you. Consider trying at least one of the locations on this list if you desire to learn more about the world, and have a wonderful, unforgettable time on your trip for one.

"I'm taking a gap year", has become the catchphrase of many young (and not so young) people as they make the decision to take some time out from their busy lives and the expectations of a demanding work or study. Rather than just kicking back and doing nothing more strenuous than turning the pages of the daily paper, more and more people are signing up for placements in foreign lands to volunteer on conservation or teaching projects. Although unpaid, these placements enable volunteers to carry out some worthwhile work as well as experience the culture of a different country.

There are various companies who specialise in gap year placements and it is always more advisable to go through a reputable firm than to try and do it yourself. But the main advantage a company will have is that it will be able to advise you on where the best placements are and match you to the most suitable project. 


Africa

Whether your preference is Malawi, Kenya or South Africa, many people's first choice for a gap year placement is Africa. Your life-changing experience could involve working in one of the many projects on offer in this wildlife-rich country. Choose from the Addo Elephant Park, the Hoedspruit Cheetah Project, Kariega Game Reserve, Moholoholo Rehab centre or the world-famous Shamwari Game Reserve. No matter where your placement you will have the opportunity to work on projects where your contribution will provide valuable assistance in research, rehabilitation and maintenance. Once your gap year placement is over you will be able to spend another few months travelling if you have the time and money - so, be frugal!

India

While probably not as popular as Africa for gap year conservation holidays, India has some unique opportunities to volunteer with animals. The Cotiago Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa has a wonderful Wildlife Preservation program which is staffed by volunteers who contribute towards data collection and research. Also in Goa, the Turtle Preservation Program is dedicated to saving the endangered numbers of the local marine turtles. It is also the opportunity to live and work in one of the most peaceful and serene environments in the world.



Sri Lanka

One of Asia's most fascinating countries, the tiny island nation of Sri Lanka is also home to an abundance of wildlife. Unfortunately, due to external factors and habitat endangerment, numbers of some of these beautiful creatures are dwindling. The government of Sri Lanka is extremely committed to preserving their wildlife and there are some worthwhile and adventurous projects for volunteers to become involved in on their gap year. Whether you choose to work in a placement on an elephant project or in one involving the unique Sri Lankan sub-species of leopards, along the way, you will no doubt fall in love with Sri Lanka and her wonderful friendly people. The island is small enough that you will be able to explore it on day trips and weekends away from your gap year placement or, if time allows, once your work is complete, take a few weeks to really wind down and enjoy the island paradise.
