Hello,
Next year I want to travel solo. I’ve never done it before and honestly I’m not really sure how it works, so I’m looking for some advice.
I’m looking for countries / cities where: • accommodation is cheap (hostels / Airbnb / simple places) and I can stay for several days • food is affordable, but also good and reasonably healthy • it’s a safe country for solo travel • chill vibe, not necessarily nonstop partying
A bit about me: • I really enjoy mountain running, trail running, and hiking • I’d love places with mountains, nature, and trails, maybe even active outdoor communities • I’m not looking for luxury, more for experience and peace of mind
I’m open to Europe, but also outside of it if it makes sense in terms of cost and safety. Any recommendations are welcome: destinations, specific cities, best times of year, or things I should be aware of as a first-time solo traveler.
