Flying Solo Lady? Here Are 10 Places to Visit Alone.

Traveling solo as a woman can be a rather scary prospect. Safety is clearly your utmost concern, who can enjoy taking in a new cultural experience with imminent fear looming? To be fair, safety is subjective. One woman may be immune to catcalling while another may feel angry or still another might be downright scared by a group of gawking men. However, with a bit of advanced preparation and practical precautions, there’s no limit to where you can go! Safety is a judgment call only you can make for yourself. Although this list won't guarantee your safety, it can point you toward places many women travelers consider as safe as possible. I can personally vouch for almost this entire list.1. GreeceGreek men have a marked reputation for being macho but that is probably the most worry you’ll ever have. Greek isles like Mykonos and Santorini are heavenly retreats, enjoy their beautiful beaches and meandering pebble-stone laid streets riddled with quaint shops and restaurants.2. Amsterdam, NetherlandsA beautiful and vibrant city known for its liberal lifestyle and chill vibe, Amsterdam will not disappoint with remarkable canal scenery and cultural resources.

Zip line through forest canopies, hike a volcano or enjoy a surf safari, Costa Rica has it all. Concerned that you don’t know Spanish? No need to worry, the locals are warm and welcoming and will help you find your way around if your Spanish isn't the best.4. Scandanavia: Sweden, Norway, FinlandNorthern Europe is easily the safest region on the globe.
