A
For some of us who long to travel,it can be difficult to find someone to journey with.Friends and family members are tied down in jobs,struggling to save money,and don’t always want to go to the same places.The solution,of course,is to go alone.
Melbourne,Australia
Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination,which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life.Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel,and because of that,many solo(单独的) travelers go there.Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality,which promotes equality among the sexes.Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality,and as a travel hot-spot,there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers.Overall known for being very cheap,especially in the north,it’s a good choice if you want to get away on a budget.
Bhutan
Bhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world.It is also home to the world’s highest unclimbed peak,Gangkhar Puensum.The mountain is sacred(神圣的) and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour,where you are accompanied around by your own personal guide.Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since 1999 and in 2004,it became the first country in the world to outlaw tobacco.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a great place if you’re looking for adventure,with surfing,volcanoes and other recreational activities.You’ll never get a chance to feel lonely because there’s an abundance of exciting adventures to experience! Costa Rica has never seen political unrest,class struggles or revolutions commonly associated with other Latin American Countries.What’s more,it doesn’t have or need an army because it’s such a peaceful country.
