Hi Brandon,

Where do you live and what’s your budget? Those two factors will greatly affect where you could go. Please email at info@solotravelerblog or post on the Solo Travel Society http://facebook.com/solotravelsociety on Facebook and we’ll get the group making suggestions for you.

Im 27 and i’ve never been more than 300km from my home. I want to travel and experience new things. Do you have any suggestions on where I could go? I dont know if I could handle some crazy busy place as I am very shy and will probably be going alone. I want to go somewhere and see nature at its best, and have someone push me and make me do some great memorable life changing things.

Hi Vicki, I’m sorry for your loss. As a widow, I understand loss only too well. I’m glad you’re reading Solo Traveler and I hope that you find inspiration in it.

I do all of those things in your advice,all except the bike riding.Sadly,I have lost my mate this summer,so I’m into my 5th month of recovery. My plans for the spring are to bike my own city,just to get back to biking. I feel there are amazing places to be found if one doesn’t have a time line that is too strict. These are my immediate plans.More should be on the way.

Absolutely, the bar is the easiest place for a solo traveler in a restaurant. It’s also great if you can find restaurants with communal tables. http://solotravelerblog.com/solo-dining-restaurants-communal-tables/

I too am introverted by nature and am sometimes afraid to venture to new spots – especiall restaurants alone. I have found the best plan of action for me is to find a seat at the bar instead of sitting at a table. Chances are better for meeting people there!

I too am a traveler and tend to be on the reserved side of outgoing. If that makes sense!! I am confident but somewhat vulnerable I do like chatting and company, but I like to retire to my own thoughts when I feel like it. These tips are just what I needed as when I am traveling I tend to choose the tours or activities that are full of outrageous noise and I really do like the balance. I will take my camera to the foody nights. lol.

I enjoyed the 2 separate options as I usually travel antisocially but when I want to be social I have done all 5 of your tips.

Great list!

Interesting article. I have probably tried all of these either consciously or unconsciously during my years of solo travel.
