4 Best Places to Travel Alone

Traveling with our partners, friends, and family can be a great way to spend quality time with our loved ones. But, traveling alone has its unique advantages. It can provide a more poetic mood as we explore the exciting and evocative locations in a solitary manner, immersed in the often beautiful, even spiritual thoughts and feelings.

However, if we choose unremarkable (or worse) travel destinations, the thought of such a trip falls apart as soon as we touch the ground upon exiting the travel vehicle. Thus, to assist you with choosing the right destination, we’ve prepared a list of the best places where you’re bound to have a fantastic time in the company of yourself only. Read on to find the ideal destination. 

1. Stonehenge, United Kingdom

Stonehenge is one of the United Kingdom’s cultural icons and a place that is arguably more enjoyable when visited on your own than in the company of other people. Stonehenge’s standing stones are mystical, and it almost seems as if they are exuding some kind of ancient magic, well-suited for solitary contemplation.

While you’re there, we suggest checking out the surroundings as well. Stonehenge Tours includes Bath with its Roman ruins and Oxford with its architecture and history, which are particular highlights of the area. If you remain indifferent to these destinations’ appeal, then we’re Queen Elizabeth II.

2. Nish, Serbia

The city of Nish in Serbia is another hidden gem offering a unique mood to solitary travelers. The city is not large, but it is choke-full of inspiring history and culture, as this was a crossroads location in ancient times, connecting travelers from around the world.

The locales are friendly and will point you toward the best food - something that Nish is well-known for. If you ask the locals, you haven’t lived until you’ve tried their burek and chevapi!

What’s more, there are many locations in and around Nish where you’ll be able to lose yourself in the authentic folksy atmosphere.

3. Big Bear, California

There are, of course, many lovely hiking locations all over the world. But, there’s one such destination that has a special place in the hearts of everyone who visits it. Dear reader, we will now share the secret of Big Bear with you.

Words are inadequate to describe Big Bear’s beauty - seeing is believing. Located in California, Big Bear’s appeal lies in the simply sublime and breathtaking vistas, the lush meadow scenery, and the incredible panoramic views. Its many hiking paths will lead you to some of nature’s best sights that you’ll be able to immerse yourself in when traveling alone.

4. Los Angeles, California

And while we’re talking about California, the residents there are certainly aware and appreciative of the exquisite locations surrounding Los Angeles. Exploring the treasures of Southern California is a great way to spend the day and provide you with some high-quality me-time.

Begin by visiting the vineyards of Temecula, where you’ll be able to taste some excellent wine while relaxing in the cool shade. Proceed to the beaches of Orange County, take a dip in the water, and then enjoy the sound and sight of waves caressing your soul. End the trip with an adventure on Santa Catalina Island, whose coves are alluring and mysterious.

Bon, voyage!

With these four travel ideas for when traveling alone, you should be able to select at least one destination that’s to your liking. But why choose just one? To be honest, we envy anyone who hasn’t visited each of these locations yet, as we’d love to be able to experience them for the first time. However, to avoid being overflown with waves of nostalgia, we’ll simply wish you a pleasant journey and an overall fantastic time!
