To date, I’ve visited over 30 countries solo. There's been a nine-month escapade through the tropical island of Sri Lanka, weekend breaks to little-visited Romanian and Polish cities, and lush vacations in Costa Rica, where cloud forest trekking and sloth spotting ensured I was permanently smiling.
Each adventure varied, and while some trips were flawless from start to finish (Costa Rica being one of them), others required a little more patience and planning, especially since I'm a female travelling alone. The best countries for traveling solo offer clean, affordable, and well-designed lodgings, restaurants, and cafés that don’t discriminate against one, plus good public transport for zipping from each destination to the next.
