Guest post by Anila Scott
Planning a solo trip can be hectic even for a seasoned traveler, especially when it comes to choosing the right destination to visit and the right activities to take part in while there. But deciding to take a leap of faith and travel alone could be the best decision you’ve made yet.
For starters, being alone on the road allows you to visit wherever you want at any time you want, without having to conform to someone else’s schedule. Also, you are able to challenge yourself more by being in the midst of a total stranger, which boosts your confidence and self-growth. Those are a few of the reasons why you should pack already and embark on that solo trip ASAP.
That having been said, do you have a destination in mind for your next solo trip? This article highlights 7 of the most fun places to visit solo.
- Australia
Australia is the dream destination for most divers due to its endless diving opportunities both for amateur and experienced divers. And even if you aren’t prepared to dive, you will have a good time discovering the many hidden treasures the country has to offer. Australia is also home to most extinct or endangered animal species, so you will have the rare chance of interacting with million-year-old fossils in close proximity.
