Traveling alone is a great way to see the world. We have a list of top places to solo travel, whether you prefer it on a remote island or in a bustling new city.
1. Lombok and the Gili Islands, Indonesia
Lombok, although not as popular as Bali, is enjoying a solid reputation among independent travelers who wish to learn how to surf, snorkel, and dive. The lush green paddy fields of the interior stretch to Gunung Rinjani volcano, which boasts hot springs and waterfalls. It’s easy to reach the three Gili Islands, which are becoming increasingly popular off Lombok’s northwest coast. Trawangan is also where it’s at.
2. Cuba
Havana, the capital of Cuba, conjures up images of crumbling colonial architecture and 1950s Chevys as well as salsa and cigars. With the political climate in Cuba changing, private enterprise is encouraged and small businesses are expanding across the country.
