10 destinations to visit if you are a solo traveller The Netherlands The Netherlands is one of the most progressive places around on quite a few topics, and along with scoring well on safety lists, the locals are known for being laid back and polite. Amsterdam is easily one of the coolest cities in the world, and it’s the perfect place to wander and explore to no end. There are few things better than biking around solo every day to tick off your bucket list in record time. USA There’s very little in terms of climate and scenery that the USA doesn’t offer, and its backpacking, camping and road tripping culture have made for such a normalised view of solo travellers of any gender. Getting around is easy, language is never a barrier, and there’s so much to see and do. Big spots like Hawaii, Las Vegas, New York City and LA are popular among solo travellers. Croatia There are few places in the world where we’d rather get lost than in Dubrovnik. Explore an old town to your heart’s content. The history of the area is equally fascinating, and it’s such a refreshing change from the rest of Europe that you may be used to. Add in some quality beach time and a little sailing, and you can’t go wrong. Canada The people are notoriously friendly and accommodating, it’s safe, progressive, and perfect for exploring. Quebec offers the European flavour, the west coast gives you your epic dose of outdoor adventure, and everything else is just so pleasant in typical Canadian fashion. Switzerland Super safe, picturesque, easy to get around, and one of the most delicious places in Europe. It may not be the cheapest European country,
