Many films throughout the ages, right from Hollywood to Bollywood, have shown us how a trip can change one’s entire life- his livelihood, his perspectives, and of course his philosophy of life. And tours like these come under the umbrella term ‘Traveling’. And sometimes the solo travels are the best part of it to heal the inside of you. The solo travel destinations make a man independent, open, and at last but not least, bring back life to the barren routine yours.

There is an always ongoing debate between tourists and travelers regarding the selection of the spots. While the former group is a sort of happy-go-lucky, always eager to hit the popular solo travel destinations, the latter is of the opinion of an out of box travel. And this may include everything, right from a walk-in-tour to an adventure sport, from a long drive to a place unknown to a perfect relaxation on the beach.

There is no rush for the ‘so-called’ spots, no need for deluxe rooms or fancy restaurants. And neither there is a thick crowd of tourists. Because the best charm of exploring a place lies never in a family outing but in a solo tour. So if you are a perfect traveler in the truest sense of the term, we present you with a handful of such solo travel destinations. These are the best places to travel alone.

Adventurous Africa!!

Nairobi, Kenya

Africa is the land of awe and wonder. With its sprinkling of the magic of the past on some exhilarating landscapes, it is the gold mine for solo travelers. Nairobi is famous for the Big Five i.e elephants, black rhino, lion, buffalo, leopard. By now you must be aware of the fact that Nairobi is the heaven for safaris. Go, and enjoy the barren wilderness alone. After all, nature is diverse.

Havana, Cuba

Pablo Neruda, in one of his famous love poems, compared his lover’s eyes to the night sky of Cuba. Cuba is pure, gorgeous, serene. It is a brilliant blend of nature and culture.

The old small roadside restaurants, the old dilapidated colonial buildings, the fragrance of salsa and cigar backdrop a wonderful cityscape- all these collectively make Cuba a perfect place of beauty in every possible sense.

Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea

Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro

We pick up this beautiful beach, located in the western part of the same city of Rio de Janeiro. And you will be surprised to know that this is the biggest beach in Rio, even bigger than Copacabana. Barra has several lakes and rivers and beautiful, safe life to offer you.

If you become a bit tired of the crowds in Copacabana, you can come to this western part of the city with barely any tantrums. Despite being a remarkable tourist attraction, Barra has only 4.7% of all overpopulation. And this adds to the very charm of what we call – ‘the lonely pleasure of a beach’.

So despite being more or less crowded, in no way it can be excluded from the bucket list. Santorini is a place where you can find serenity at its best.

The excessive amount of tourists might spoil the lonely fun, yet there is always an option of letting things be. Detaching yourself from all the tantrums is not much a tough job here as you can always sit back and relax from your room in the hotel with an open view of the coastline lying down the steep.

Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Italy

Surrounded by the high hills and blue water, this place epitomizes what we know as ‘Mediterranean Beauty’. And it should be on your wishlist with an aspect of a perfect solo travel destination.
