10 Countries You Should Travel To Solo
*This post was originally posted on Freedom Not Fate and syndicated to Vocal Media* As you probably could already tell from reading my blog, I do a lot of solo traveling and have traveled to many countries by myself. This list is a list of places that not only have I been by myself, but that I have heard other solo travelers have gone to and can vouch on the safety of the following countries. Many of these countries are also places where it's easy to connect with other travelers, are accessible and English is primarily spoken. These are all things to take into consideration when you're traveling by yourself for the first time in a foreign country. I know with my first solo trip I wanted it to be as easy as possible for me to travel around and not super stressful.
