19 Best Places to Travel Solo as a Woman

COSMOPOLITAN — Don’t get me wrong, I love a girls’ trip just as much as the next gal (honestly, probably more than the next gal). But my best travel buddy is, unapologetically, me. I’ve had friendships almost ruined on trips, and it took me a while to realize that not everyone travels well together. I’ve now visited 88 countries, and roughly 50 of those were by myself. Yes, the recovering people pleaser in me still struggles to decide what I want to do while traveling (jk, it’s almost always a local flea market or food hall), but it has almost always ended in pure joy.
