I’ve Traveled Solo to 65 Countries – Here Are My Top 5 Picks for Going It Alone

Costa Rica

Living in Nicaragua, I’ve clocked plenty of passport stamps from Costa Rica – and let me tell you, it’s the safest country in Central America. Whether you want to trek volcanoes or beach-hop, it’s got you covered. If you’re into wellness retreats, check out SP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge, part of the Red Sofia Program, which makes travel safer for solo women.

In Monteverde, Hotel Belmar is perfect for solo travelers – you don’t even have to leave for adventure! They’ve got canopy tours and coffee tastings. For an all-inclusive vibe, Secrets Papagayo is adults-only, with beach games and cocktail parties that make mingling easy. (Just a heads-up, you might be surrounded by couples, but hey, who needs a date?)
