Hi there!!
I’ve already been to Australia twice: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Cairns, Brisbane, Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, Perth, and the surrounding areas.
I’d love to see Darwin and other amazing spots in this country!!
I’m booking my flight ticket for about three and a half to four weeks max....
I’ll be traveling solo for this trip.
I’m planning to leave in mid-May—apparently, the weather’s pretty good then.
Any tips you can share? Routes to take? Must-do activities??
Thanks so much for your help!!!!
Hello everyone!
I REALLY need some advice because I’m feeling lost with my choices for my next solo trip—I’d like to book within the month .
Just so you know, my trip will be in September 2025 for about 17 days.
My top pick is Vietnam; I’ve never been to Asia.
I know the rainy season will be in full swing in September, but several reviews seemed to say it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, even though it might affect a few hours each day.
PS: I was considering Cambodia, but apparently, the situation isn’t safe for a woman or a tourist right now.
I’ve also heard a lot about New Zealand, but I don’t know anyone who’s been there—especially solo. The nature looks amazing, but does 100% nature get boring quickly when you’re alone? Are there meet-up spots or restaurants/cafés in all the must-see places?
To give you some background, I’ve traveled solo before: Seville, Sweden (Stockholm and Lapland), and I spent 6 months exploring Marseille on my own. I love discovering places and cultures by myself.
Fun fact: my favorite trip was South Africa—for the change of scenery, the people I met, the landscapes, and the nature—but I wasn’t solo there.
Do you have any firsthand experience with these two destinations for a solo trip as a woman?
Or do you have other ideas that fit a similar budget and are interesting for 15–17 days, with a real sense of adventure? And, of course, safe and not too stressful for a woman!
(I’d also love to hear about any custom travel agencies you’ve had good experiences with—I really want to plan this trip as best as I can, but all the agencies I’ve found have mixed reviews.)
Thank you so much for your help!! I’ll keep you posted on my choice and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have!
