Chris Santella and award-winning writer DC Helmuth’s Fifty Places to Travel Solo provides a roadmap to the best, and safest places, for those who choose to adventure on their own.

If there’s one striking travel trend in recent years, it’s a massive rise in solo travel. Fifty Places to Travel Solo will feature idyllic venues from around the world, interviews with solo travel experts, including lifestyle bloggers and representatives from companies that cater to solo travelers, and a mix of urban and outdoor adventures well‑suited for individuals.

Influencers from a range of races, genders, physical handicaps, lifestyles, and ages offer their candid advice to the budding solo travelers of the world, about which place didn't just make them feel welcome, but left the greatest impact on their lives.

With both young and mature travelers alike beginning their solo travel journeys, this guide will feature two different travel options for each destination, “On a budget” and “Luxe,” so no matter who you are, or where, you will find the perfect accommodations to satisfy your wanderlust!

These locations offer the perfect mix of whatever solo trip you are yearning for, whether it be the serenity found in the crystal‑clear waters of the Greek Isles, the adventure of hiking the unbelievable waterfalls and glaciers of Iceland, or the exciting culture found walking the streets of Portugal.
