Hello, I am a single male looking to take a getaway trip to Croatia (Hvar, Split, or other) sometime between July- September of 2018. I am looking to relax during the day, try new things (food, drinks, etc), meet people, also during the day, and find the best place to party (nightlife) and meet people at night. Is Hvar the BEST place to go and stay for a single guy looking to meet/exceed these requests or are there better options? I also wouldn't mind meeting someone there if they are planning…

I am planning to visit the Sierra Gorda as a female solo traveler. I want to go see Xilitla to Las Pozas.

Other Attractions I'd like to visit in the area:

Cuatro Palos Viewpoint/
El Chuvejé Waterfall
La Trinidad
Escanela River
Cave of Swallows
Puente de Dios

Would you recommend a tour guide. Can I find one while there...like in Jalpan. Is it OK to go off on my own to visit these sites. I wouldn't mind getting a tour guide though.

Any advice/suggestions I'd be grateful for.

Thank you

Hi there,

I'm looking for some suggestions/itinerary options for 2 weeks solo travel in Canada during December (9th - 23rd).

I understand it's not the easiest time to travel but I am restricted to these dates. I thought I might be able to find a tour, but there don't seem to be many operating - particularly ones suitable for solo traveller in mid 20s.

As such, I'm starting to plan solo travels on the east coast - around Quebec (travelling by train/plane and staying in hostels)

Would like to…

Hi - I am a solo traveler going for the first time to South Africa and would like to do some day hikes around Cape Town/in Western Cape Province. I have hiked solo and much longer in all kinds of places including the Alps, the Himalaya, the Andes etc so I am not worried about planning, equipment, route finding or so but mainly only about personal security as this seems to be an issue even on hiking trails. Can anyone suggest any routes/regions in this respect? I would imagine going further from…

Hi all,

For a short trip, 3 days, I would like to go to Tel Aviv.

I've never been to the Middle East before, and Tel Aviv seems like a good place to start. I would be travelling solo and stay in hostels (probably near the beachside, as far as I've looked).

A friend of mine recommended me to go and visit Jaffa, rent a bike and cross through the city centre, and some other stuff to do.

What else would you guys recommend? Would Tel Aviv be a good 1st Middle East destination for such a period?

Morning all. Last minute trip being booked here so need your help.

Decided to skip my couple days in Lagos and save the money + time for Morocco instead. I'll be using Rome2Rio app to generally find routes and costs for train/bus (or I'm sure I can just find it there).

I'm a 24 year old male solo traveller, will be staying in hostels and Airbnb's (or couchsurfing) where I cant find hostels. I absolutely love the Islamic art and design, spontaneity, enjoy live music, socialising with locals and…

Hi there,

I am 25, and will be in Kenya / Tanzania from the 29th of June this month for some undetermined time (probably 15 days). I have been looking into Safari tours (like Maasai Mara) or holiday spots (Diani Beach) that won´t charge me a single supplement fee for my accommodations. In terms of budget and time, I would prefer to not spend more than $3000 total for the 15 days, but it´s relatively flexible. Any recommendations? Also if anyone is going to be travelling around that time and…

Hi everyone!
I'm a 21 y/o female planning a solo trip (my first one!) to Thailand at the end of December this year. I looked through many topics on here and tripadvisor to plan a draft of my itinerary. I'm planning on staying for a little over two weeks, but I'm pretty flexible about extra days. I'm sticking with the popular Bangkok>North>Islands route. This is what I have so far:
Fly into Bangkok on 12/28 for 3 nights - spend NYE there. On 01/01 catch a flight to Chiang Mai for 6 nights -…

Hey all,

Heading down to Havana this weekend for two days/one night (better than nothing I suppose). My question is, how safe is it to walk from Centro Habana (Habana Real Hostal) to Plaza Vieja before sunrise? It looks to be about a 20-25 minute walk so I'd probably leave my hostel around 6:15AM. I'm traveling as a young solo male. My goal is to photograph Plaza Vieja in the early morning sunlight.

Good idea to walk or should I try to catch a taxi? My camera equipment will be in a backpack…

Hello all

I'm hoping to go to SL as a solo traveller some time between Feb-April and had a question I'd appreciate any advice on.

I'm looking to go to a beach where I can a) go on lots of organised activities like trekking, diving etc. and b) that has a backpacker-orientated nightlife (I really want to avoid the GAP-year and package holiday scene, I much prefer places where there are maybe 1 or 2 late night bars where everyone gathers and you get to know people as opposed to ko-pangan-like 50…
