Solo travel is one of the most empowering things anyone can do in their life. Even more so, in the case of women who travel solo. After all, I’ve been doing it for decades now. In my opinion, it’s been a major influence in developing my self-confidence as a young woman.
With freedom, flexibility and “learning who they are” strong motivators for women to embark on a solo trip, women of all ages have also travelled alone to escape from daily routines and embrace a change of scenery.
Therefore, on the occasion of the annual celebration of the achievements of women across the globe (aka International Women’s Day) on March 8th, let’s see the best destinations for women to travel solo in 2023.
The top 10 places for women’s solo travel, according to travelplanbooker.com are:
- Canada
- Spain
- Iceland
- Norway
- Switzerland
- Austria
- Finland
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Germany
There have been over 9,000 Google searches for ‘solo female travel’ in February 2023. There is also an increase of 81 per cent in the last year. Clearly, the trend for adventuring alone is on the rise. A key consideration for travelplanbooker.com when recommending destinations is safety, as searches for ‘safest travel for solo female’ have risen by 189 per cent in the last year alone (source: Google Trends, as of 23.02.2022).
Best places for Women’s Solo Travel: Canada
Canada has a relatively low crime rate, a high degree of gender equality, as well as friendly and hospitable locals. Additionally, Canada’s well-developed infrastructure, accessibility and stunning natural beauty make it effortless and enjoyable for solo female travellers to explore. Speaking from personal experience!
Best places for Women’s Solo Travel: New Zealand
Finally open to visitors again, New Zealand has long been considered one of the safest and most peaceful societies in the world. Offering an abundance of natural and cultural sights, beautiful green landscapes and modern, attractive cities, it is the ideal multi-stop destination for women looking for an adventure of a lifetime. Even though I have yet to travel to NZ, it so happens that my dad grew up and lived there for many years. He always spoke of New Zealand as a very safe country for women, among else.
