Looking for your next adventure? Here, Baltic Travel Company pick out some bucket-list destinations for solo travel


Flying solo comes with huge benefits, from having the freedom to make your own decisions to not having to compromise your itinerary to fit in with everyone else’s interests. Many destinations are easier than others when it comes to transportation and also offer lots more activities and adventures in relatively safe environments – which make them perfect for your solo travel adventure.

To help you decide where to go exploring alone, the experts at Baltic Travel Company have rounded up some of the most solo-friendly locations around the world to consider for your trip.

Solo travel hotspots

Chile

Chile is one of South America’s safest countries. It’s home to some of the best landscapes, as well as delicious wines and culinary experiences. Chileans don’t commonly speak English, so it is advised to dust off your old Spanish notebook before you embark on the adventure – but they are all super friendly. Popular places include the Torres del Paine W hiking circuit which is located in Patagonia and the remote Atacama Desert in the North. 

Japan

Japan - solo travel

Japan is an ideal place for solo travel as it has low crime rates and the locals are both kind and respectful to tourists. It is also a breeze to get around as the country is home to fast bullet trains which you can enjoy by buying a rail pass. Immerse yourself in the culture by booking into a traditional ryokan or inn where you can sleep on a tatami mat and enjoy a typical Japanese breakfast.

Australia
