9 Best Places to Travel Alone: Where Safety & Adventure Abound
Switzerland
Switzerland is more than just mountains, lakes and gorgeous villages (although it does all these things very well). It’s also one of the best vacations for solo travelers.
You can happily take advantage of all the amazing hiking trails without worrying about your safety. Being Switzerland, transport links around the country are also very efficient, making your solo trip stress free.
Plus you get ridiculously beautiful vistas everywhere you look, which doesn’t hurt either.
Chile
Chile is a spectacularly diverse country. Running up the backbone of South America, Chile’s narrow borders encompass an eclectic range of landscapes and climates.
From the vast and wild Patagonia in the south, to the lush green the Lake District, to the rolling vineyards around Santiago, all the way up to the surreal Atacama Desert, Chile is a veritable buffet of travel experiences.
Chile is also as famous for the openness of its inhabitants as its natural beauty. Chileans welcome travelers, so don’t be surprised if you get invited to eat an asado with a local family.

Indonesia
When it comes to solo travel destinations, Indonesia is just the ticket, particularly for adventurous types. With more than 18,000 islands, there is something to suit everyone.
The tourist darling of Indonesia, Bali, is always full of other foreigners, so you won’t feel out of place. Alternatively, if you would prefer to get off the tourist trail, you can do that too, with no shortage of secluded paradises tucked away in the archipelago.
Throughout Indonesia, there are yoga classes, meditation retreats and plenty of peaceful resorts where you can embrace the solitude and devote time to yourself.
