- Hi, friend, I am guessing that since you've clicked
on this video you are interested in traveling solo.
And I don't blame you, because it is one
of the most impactful experiences you can have in your life.
But don't just take my word for it.
I brought 14 of my friends in this video
who are going to share with you
their top destinations for solo female travel.
And these ladies, these strong, powerful women,
have traveled to so many countries,
so you can definitely take their word for it.
They have quite the experience,
and I'll be sharing one of my favorite
solo travel destinations as well,
so get ready for it, let's go.

- Hi everyone, it's Jo, from Damon and Jo,
and first of all, solo travel is the best.
Like if you haven't solo traveled in 2019,
get your booty on a plane, go to Mexico, go to Greece,
those are my two favorite places to solo travel.
I love love love Latin American culture,
and especially if you're by yourself,
it feels like you're never alone.
You've gotta go someplace where people
are so friendly that even if you're alone,
it doesn't feel like you're alone.
Also safety wise, it's very safe.
Like Mexico gets a bad rep for some reason,
I've never felt in danger in Mexico.
And you just gotta go and realize that
so many other people are solo traveling,
so shut up and go on a trip by yourself.

- Hey everyone, I'm Alyssa Ramos
from My Life's A Travel Movie,
and I have traveled solo to over 90 countries,
which makes it really hard to pick one to recommend,
but I'm gonna go ahead and go with Easter Island.
It may seem a little farfetched to do, but it's one
of those epic adventures you can do by yourself.
It's a small island, you can drive
around the entire thing by yourself,
and go see all of the awesome Moai heads.
And it's also a really cool place
to get immersed into a culture.
There's still some original Rapa Nui people there.
They're more than happy to tell you about their history,
and just gonna throw it out there
that they're all really cute.

- Hey guys, Glo from theblogabroad.com,
and I rank Malta as my favorite
solo female travel destination.
I've been to over 70 countries, and Malta
is definitely one of my top five safest destinations.
I can explore and get lost at any hour
of the day and feel completely safe.
There's over half a million people that live here,
but every morning you'll walk out
and see that same old man at the corner cafe
and I love that it has a small town feel.
Malta is the cutest little island,
and the capital city of Valletta
is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There's so much charm and warmth
and vibrancy here, I definitely rank it
top five safest destinations in the world.

- Hi I'm Hey Nadine and my pick
for you ladies is Switzerland.
Not only is it my favorite country to visit,
it is absolutely perfect for the solo female traveler.
You have the Geneva region, which is very french,
it is luxurious, it's beautiful, it's right on the lake,
and then you have the Alps area which is full
of little, cute Swiss villages
that have amazing hiking trails in and around it
so you can explore on your own,
no problem, it is totally safe.
You can go there in the winter time and go skiing,
you can go there in the summer time
and do those hiking plus more, and the food.
You have delicious delicious chocolate, cheese, and wine.
What more could you want ladies?

- Hey guys, my name is Laura Reid.
I make travel videos here on YouTube
and one of the places I would recommend
for solo female travelers is the Philippians.
I have been back there many times
and I love it for a few reasons.
So the first reason being that
there are an endless amount of islands that you can visit.
The next reason is that they have
some of the kindest people I have ever met,
and one place in particular I really recommend
for solo female travelers is Siargao.
And I really love this place because there's
a whole bunch of young people.
You can hop on a motor bike, go adventuring,
you can go surfing, so definitely try to make it out there,
and happy traveling!

- Hi guys, my name is Audrey and I run
a YouTube channel called Samuel And Audrey
where I travel together with my husband.
My first solo trip was to Portugal,
more specifically to Lisbon, and I love the destination.
Lisbon is beautiful, like the buildings
are covered in these colorful tiles.
So I basically had my camera in hand the whole time.
I stayed at a hostel that had female dorms
so I felt very comfortable and they also had group tours
if you wanted to go walk around or enjoy some nightlife.
And also the food was delicious, I basically feasted
on Egg Tarts and seafood, and I had a great time.
So if girls are looking for a destination out there
I would recommend Portugal.

- Howdy everyone, I am Oneika,
otherwise known as Oneika The Traveller.
And if I had to recommend one destination
for women traveling by themselves to go to,
I would recommend the gulf nation of Qatar.
It's extremely beautiful, and as well,
middle eastern culture is extremely interesting to navigate.
As a solo female traveler, I always felt completely safe.
The food is absolutely excellent
and Qatar is really easy to get to
thanks to it being an airline hub.
I would definitely advise you to go,
you will not regret it, and you will have the best time.

- Hi, It's Raya from Raya Was Here,
and my number one destination for solo travel
has got to be Bali, it's one of my favorite places
in the whole world, and I just love it
because you can have an incredible cultural experience,
you can hike up volcanoes, you can go to a rice field,
it's so so beautiful, but its also because there's
so many tourist, there's tons of amazing restaurants
and there's so many people that you can meet.
It's the perfect place to go alone
and if you wanna make friends
you can definitely make friends
and if you don't, if you just wanna stay in your villa
for very cheap, eat really well for very cheap,
and just have an amazing vacation by yourself,
you could do that too!

- Hey guys, my name Angelique
and my country of choice is Italy.
There's just something about Italy that is so magical
that I think everybody needs to experience.
Everything from the culture, the art,
the food, the streets, everything was picture perfect
and I just think it's a great place to go solo
because I felt like I found myself there.
And I know that kinda sounds cheesy
but when you go somewhere that exceeds your expectations,
you're able to be in the moment
and enjoy every minute of the trip.
Like, hands down my favorite trip I have ever taken.
I did not feel unsafe in the parts of Italy I was in.
So, if you find yourself in that area,
definitely go and stay for a long time.

- My top pick for traveling solo is Ireland.
Ireland is such a welcoming and friendly country
and you feel very safe traveling it alone.
There's a really strong tourism infrastructure there
so getting around is very easy
by renting a car, or taking the bus,
there's BnB's and hostels all over the place.
And, I suggest when traveling for the first time going
somewhere where they speak the language that you speak.
Ireland does speak English but it also has
a very different culture so it feels very exotic,
like I'm going somewhere exciting.
So that, is my reason for choosing Ireland to travel solo.

- One of my favorite places to visit in the world
is Chiang Mai, Thailand for so many reasons.
I really love the vibe of the city.
It attracts a lot of health conscious travelers
and the locals are super friendly and playful.
The city as a whole is really safe and easy to get around.
Also just a little bit outside the city
you can hike to waterfalls and temples up mountains.
There's tons of Buddhist temples everywhere.
Also, probably my very favorite thing to do there
is to indulge in the six dollar Thai massages.
It's super affordable and just a super enjoyable place
to explore on your own, or with friends.

- Hey everyone, it's Kristin of Vacation Couple,
and I'm excited to share with you
my favorite place to travel solo: The Dominican Republic.
This country's known for its beautiful beaches,
but it also has scenic, cultural,
and adventure based activities to indulge in too.
Some of my favorites include visiting Paradise Island,
going zip lining, rum tasting, and enjoying
roadside activities like sweet almonds and cigar rolling.
This is the place to take your time wandering through towns,
chatting with locals, and traveling at your own pace.
Which is why I think you should visit
the Dominican Republic on your next solo travel adventure.

- Hey guys, I'm Julianne Broste, Traveling Jules,
I'm a travel filmmaker and host so I get to see
a lot of the world for work and for fun.
Solo female travelers, you've gotta check out Korea.
It's such an interesting place.
One thing everybody loves about Korea, the food, the food!
Eating is one of my favorite things
about going back to Korea.
You got the traditional culture,
and then also there's a lot of urban things,
and also nightlife, there's dance clubs,
you're gonna find yourself having
too much fun to go to sleep, I promise.
Solo female travelers, I think you're gonna love Korea.

- Hi everyone I'm Erin, also known as Erin Outdoors
on the internet, I'm a travel photographer and blogger,
and I'm super passionate about solo travel.
My top pick would probably be New Zealand,
especially if you're adventurous
and you're an English speaker.
There's a lot of backpacking you can do in New Zealand,
a lot of hiking, a lot of camping,
it's just the adventurers paradise.
So if you're feeling adventurous
and you would like to try it out solo
I can't think of a better place to do it.

- One of my favorite places to travel solo is Belize.
I have been twice, I've traveled
both times solo and I absolutely loved it.
First of all, it's one of the most beautiful places.
The color of the water is like no other
place I've ever seen in my life,
the turquoise color holy mind blowing.
But lets talk about why its good for solo female travel.
I felt safe there 100%, specifically in the keys.
That is where I hung out, I felt safe walking
around by myself, the people were super friendly,
super laid-back, it's the island life, chill vibes,
I could hang out on the beach and not be bothered.
I could go for a swim and feel safe, not be bothered.
Do so many different activities, and there was also
a great traveler community on the islands
so I could meet other solo travelers if I wanted to hook up
and hang out with them, and party with them,
it was an incredible experience
and there's also like the yoga, retreat life
that you can get involved with there, which I love.
So you can be solo and not do anything and be by yourself
or you can join groups of other solo travelers
and have a good time, it's a great place to be.
I hope that you feel inspired.
And I hope that if you've been thinking about traveling solo
that this video has helped you make that decision.
For me, solo travel has been one of the best gifts
I could have given myself and I will continue to travel solo
throughout my life, and you can see
there are tons of other females doing it.
Tons of them were in this video, and speaking of
the wonderful women, powerful women travelers in this video,
I have linked all of their YouTubes, Instagrams, Blogs,
all in the video description below.
Be sure to check them out, go subscribe to them,
