At JourneyWoman, we too, read these lists and wondered which places would have more appeal for the solo woman traveller over With almost locations featured by travel experts in highly regarded publications like Lonely Planet 30 , CN Traveller 25 , Travel and Leisure 50 , Frommers 20 , National Geographic 25 and AFAR 25 , we asked ourselves: where would we go as mature solo women?
Knowing how well-travelled our readers are, what places stimulate our curiosity and pique our interest? Where we can best connect with people and communities? Above all, where do we, as solo women travellers over 50, feel safe? In what may become an annual tradition, we applied our own criteria to these expansive lists, with a view to safety, mobility, affordability and our own experience and preferences.
Knowing that our readers are seeking new, lesser-known, remote places, particularly in Asia and Oceania, we looked at travel outside North America and omitted any countries that were mentioned multiple times.
We hope our list inspires women to think differently about not just where we travel to, but how we can embrace a sense of discovery through travel. In the midst of so much conflict in our world, solo travel offers us the opportunity to learn. To expand our understanding of our world. To connect with cultures and communities vastly different than our own. Above all, to embrace the self-discovery and wisdom that comes with stepping into the unknown. Recommended by Lonely Planet.
