]]> While planning a girls’ trip with your best friends is often a great way to make treasured memories, not everyone is always available to travel at the same time. Also, there are some locations that can be just as fulfilling if you decide to travel alone. Here are some of the best destinations for a solo trip.

Iceland

Sitting at the top of the Global Peace Index, Iceland is the world’s most peaceful country, making it a safe location to visit if you’re traveling alone. It is also home to a wide variety of visually breathtaking locations, including its Black Sand Beach and Blue Lagoons.

Spain

Apart from its pleasant Mediterranean climate, intricate medieval architecture, and glorious beaches, what’s special about Spain is that it is home to many walkable cities, making it easy to explore everything on your own. There is also a vast countryside to explore.

Costa Rica

If you’re looking to unwind from the stresses of city life, then Costa Rica is for you. This Central American nation is home to beautiful conservation areas, national parks, and beaches with clear blue waters to dive right into.

]]> If you’re a woman thinking of traveling alone, you may be hearing a lot of concerns and even horror stories about how dangerous this might be. And, sure, there is danger in it—but there’s danger in everything, and as long as you are smart and careful, you’ll probably be fine. To ease your worries, here are some tips for how you can have as positive of a solo trip as possible.

Trust Your Gut

The most significant risk you take in traveling alone is accidentally putting your trust in the wrong person. That’s why it’s so important to listen to your intuition when it comes to new people. If somebody you meet gives you a funny, weird feeling—you don’t have to keep talking to them just to be polite. Don’t hesitate to walk away if your gut tells you to.

Talk to People – When You Want To

Just because you arrived to a new city alone doesn’t mean you have to stay alone while you’re there. It’s so easy to hook up with people from your hostel or at a café you can hang with for a day or two. Then again, don’t feel any pressure to join up with other people if you don’t want to. There can be something so special about visiting a new place all by yourself. Let that be a part of your experience, too.

Don’t Forget to Take Photos

One downside to traveling alone is there’s nobody there to take photos of you. But don’t let that stop you from capturing your memories! Between selfie sticks and trading photos with a kind nearby stranger, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get pictures of yourself on your travels.

]]> Leyla Giray Alyanak is a solo traveler that has traveled the world over—and is still hungry for more. Over the years, she managed to get lost in a Mozambican minefield, paddle her way out of a Philippine flood, and survive an elephant cow stampede in Nigeria—meaning, she learned the art of taking care of herself on the road or in any foreign city. Her goal now is spread her knowledge with other women who want to travel on their own.

“This entire website should NOT be necessary,” she writes on her website. “Solo female travelers should not need to take special precautions, travel with greater awareness or behave in certain ways just because we are women. But sadly, the world is a less than perfect place, and we do have to be aware of those differences. I won’t let them stop me from traveling on my own, and I trust you won’t either.”

There's something about solo travel and the sense of wonder it awakens, at least for me. I was recently in Tunisia and some of my 'other' senses were sharpened. Usually, I focus on food and the sense of taste is primordial. But in Tunis, hearing came into play – the muezzin, the sound of donkey carts on centuries-old cobblestones, the jabber of bargaining… and then the sense of smell, of humidity in old houses, of harissa in couscous and honey in pastries… And then, strangely, it's the being on my own that matters most, the lack of distraction, of intrusion, the ability to focus on my surroundings and nothing else. I don't always travel solo but when I do, I cherish every moment of discovery. Does this resonate at all?

Her blog—titled aptly Women on the Road—is a safe space that provides women with intelligent travel planning tools, creative tactics for spending less, and advice on making money to fund your travels, alongside essential information to help women stay safe and deal with unfamiliar situations on the road.

First stop in Bangkok: pad thai (check!) Second stop: Chatuchak Weekend Market for a bit of emergency (and colourful) shopping. Although it’s called a weekend market, there are some shops open during the week – but I’d stay away and wait for Saturday or Sunday. There isn’t a thing you won’t find here, from goldfish and live snakes (no thank you) to lamps, clothes, antiques and plants. It’s Thailand’s largest (and one of the world’s largest), with thousands of tiny stalls – some say 8,000 and others 15,000 (either way – huge). It’s size and impenetrability – tiny alleys and confusing directions – make it intimidating but only for the first minute or so. Soon, a food stall with coconut ice cream or meat balls will catch your nostrils and you’ll be doing what Thai people do: snacking. It seems unruly at first but there’s a method to all the madness. Its 27 sections are relatively organised – you’ll find home decor in sections 2-4, antiques in sections 7-9 and clothes and other decoration in section 10-24 (beware, this is also the pet section, in case you happen upon a crate of puppies or a reptile or two). That said, you’ll find antiques stalls among the clothes and food in the middle of it all, so the sections are, shall we say, a ‘general guide’. Other than the reasonable prices and abundance of goods of all ranges, Chatuchak is a sensual experience: your eyes simply don’t know where to dart and taking it all in is impossible. The smells of street food carts weave their way through the alleys and up your nostrils, until you forget you’re looking for a bag and follow your nose instead. And it’s loud, as any structure this size would be, with the delightful sound of a dozen languages thrown into the air. In ‘winter’, which I’m in now, the heat is bearable, pleasant even but at the height of summer, beware – it is flattening. It’s the kind of place I want to revisit over and over – but leaving the bulk of my money at home…

“Women on the Road exists to help women with the nuts-and-bolts of solo travel: how to plan a trip, how to stay safe, what to take, how to budget, how to avoid getting lonely—all the things you face before, during, and after you travel,” writes Giray Alyanak. “We are curious, smart, enterprising, enthusiastic, inspired or dynamic—we are women who want to see the world on our own terms.”

Based in rural Eastern France, Giray Alyanak continues to travel and encourages women to do the same. “Forget the partner, forget the doubts—you can own this!” she writes.

And while international travel might not be encouraged these days, she might just inspire you to travel locally, and on your own.

]]> Set to open in June 2018, there is a new vacation spot on the island off the coast of Finland that ladies will love to travel to. Yes! this is exclusive to women, so all ladies out there be ready for your all-girls trip to SuperShe Island.

This is like a paradise for any kinds of she to enjoy themselves. The SuperShe Island only centers on female relaxation and uplift oneself including learning how to cook, meditation, yoga exercises, health consciousness and women-only activities where you can loosen and de-stress yourself.

Kristina Roth was the one who founded the networking group SuperShe. She wanted women to consort and socialize with each other and decided to create a place without the existence of men which might bring a low atmosphere for females.

Here’s how you can book if you are up to going on a vacation with your girlfriends: Starting April 1, reservations will be open to the public. If you’re already a member of the SuperShe, your access will be put first.
