Solo travelling is one of the best ways to have some time off from the world and spend some time with yourself. You can do things that you like, eat and drink what you want, and live the way you want (even if it is for a few days.) Solo travelling to any destination across the world is like therapy and that too irrespective of your age.
To make it more interesting and memorable, I have a list of a few destinations that are safe, beautiful, and interesting in multiple parameters. After checking out some of these solo holiday destinations from my bucket list I find myself to be writing this blog to help young travellers and keep them from making common mistakes.
Let’s take a dig into some of the best holiday destinations for solo travellers across the globe

If this is going to be your first solo trip, I suggest you pick Croatia to kickstart your journey as a solo traveller. It won’t be a challenge to find a budget-friendly or luxurious place to stay here.
