as soon as I saw Canada and the USA…. I knew this review was a joke
You should go to Greece. Supper safe day or night no one bathers you and people are very very friendly
i wish i could visit one of the list but for visas are not allowed
What I want to know is how people have the time and money to do so much traveling? Most of us average folk get 2 weeks off a year and live check to check
the main city in baden würtenberg is freiburg ,just a dream
What about the Highlands of Scotland … If you catch the right weather ,you'll want to stay … Forever…
Tokyo ,Singapore, New York, Dubai , All city with best metro or subway make easy for travel
nice content
Interesting – all those videos of you, alone, in other countries… who's taking the video & controlling the drone?
very nice
II am not intending to be dishonest this is undeniably a great video!.
I acquired drive out of your yt channel, planning to start out making my YT videos.
We love watching this channel. It`s been a great help. Regards
4:36 – I've been there so many times lol
18y/o from germany here🙋♀️ one of my favorite movies is the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, so it’s been a dream of mine to see Iceland for myself and you saying it’s very safe and easy to get around is a great relief!! I’m definitely gonna look into backpacking there c:
Mmmmh Thailand just seems way too serious about drug laws & say it’s forced upon me or I’m tricked into it. Em g on me??? Than what?! Live like my life’s broke down palm! No thanks!
maybe a not so original question, but how does one deal with the money part ? how much money do you need saved up, in order to be able to travel Africa for a whole year ?
Where is it that you need to carry a fake purse?
Can you recommend some sources to find organised groups for Peru trail?
Don't agree
what about Argentina and Russia?😋
Galapagos Island might be my biggest dream. Is anyone here and can tell me how much they spent for 2-3 weeks. I want to stay ar the island and want to do a Diving Trip for 3-4 days. What can you recommend?
Great video!
My personal #1 is your #2 – the USA.
I. LOVE. THE. USA. 🤠🇺🇸
Best wishes from Germany to you and to the US!
Awesome video, thank you for your recommendations! 🙏 I’m curious, may I ask how you managed to be a tour guide in different countries? is it because you bring a group of people to that country (ex: Ecuador) or because you already went there several times before and you knew the area already? 🙏🙏🙏
lol i hate that type of people that are willing to travel but have no sense of own purpose … never did anything ..
I traveled solo for the first time this past year! I traveled to Madrid, Spain and Naples and Rome in Italy! It was the best experience I have ever had! It was scary to think about doing solo, but I did it and I have no regrets! Definitely recommend to anyone out there!
Traveling solo sucks. Just my humble opinion.
As a South African, let me just say, yes, Africa has crime, BUT, if you are careful and aware of where your valuables are, then there is SO much beauty and diversity in South Africa! Cape Town is amazing and would be easy for a solo traveler to navigate. 😊😊😊
Another country I’d add is South Korea. It’s similar to traveling in Japan. The public transport is amazing. There are many things to do: cities to explore, hikes to go on, and cultural things to experience.
I travelled trough the country and had the best time! It’s just a bit overlooked I think between the other countries around it !
Also obviously Australia. It’s easy and so open and available for backpackers. Had my best first backpacking trip there 🙂
You should come to Cuba, we could be alone together.
If your not from the usa the only country you should never ever ever go even if its free to go and every is free is the usa.Ive been everywhere usa is the biggest shithole on the planet.
I've always been travelling solo since turning 18, so I have no idea how it is to travel with someone. Must suck tbh.
6 continents here too. I've been to Japan, Peru, Ecuador, and Canada(PEI), and are all good choices. Kilimanjaro is a challenging, moderately safe hike, and I really liked Australia.
Why do you travel solo?
I'd add Greece. It's very safe and friendly, also interesting in many ways
Is Bali not easier than Thailand? X
Japan for a beginner ? Yes it's safe, but not cheap and while driving is easy, navigating is a nightmare, road signs in Japanese only. Away from the big city centres almost nobody speaks anything other than Japanese.
I just found your channel….great info, thanks! Would you say this list applies to all ages? I am retiring soon (less than a week) and I want to travel and probably will have to do at least some of it solo. I am 60, so not tooooo far over the hill…just curious if you would change any of these out for the older crowd. thanks!
I also would recommend Greek, I was hiking around Meteora monasteries and felt very safe. And this is such a beautiful place, and people are friendly, and food is tasty.
Did you really spend out alone ?
I really liked Botswana, Zambia, Uganda and Egypt and the Red Sea are great!
Quebec City is a really wonderful spot in Canada. 1000% recommend going there! So beautiful, easy to walk around, and POUTINE!!! I also felt incredibly safe there.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
girl i'm trying to escape germany
Recently single with a doggie and a great boarding place nearby (its a big ol' farm and he loves playing with other dogs and sniffing EVERYTHING new). I would love to travel both with and without him now that I dont have to plan for 2 people. It was so exhausting to not get input on the plans but get complaints on what we ended up doing.
My worries is not having internet connection. Or getting lost and getting stuck in a foreign country I know sounds dumb, but that's what;s stopping me solo travelling. Any advice?
Lovely list, lovely commentary, lovely you❤️
Watching travel videos as I plan an overseas trip, kinda funny seeing New Zealand in here. I live in a giant tourist attraction 😆🤣
i'm glad i travelled to iceland as a first time solo traveller. it's also the first european country i visited in winter. i'm a young woman who has lived in indonesia my whole life, really dense, and i also have a bad sense of direction and general safety. but iceland is just safe in general and the people are really nice
Great list. Thank you!
Great video.👍🏻
