“Solo” travel is a great way to relax, deepen into self-knowledge, expand your comfort zone and, perhaps, find love. This must be done at least once in your life, of course, not forgetting about safety. Let's talk about places where it's not boring to be alone, it's not dangerous, it's beautiful, and there's someone to make friends with.

The capital of a country known for its romance, delicious food, beautiful people and high fashion, Rome appeals to all five senses. The bustling streets of the old town are full of surprises and don’t be surprised if you receive a marriage proposal on the first day of your arrival. Try all the flavors of gelato, ride a bike, drink clean water from the fountains, pet the cats in Torre Argentina and think about the proposal.

An hour's flight from Bangkok and you are in Chiang Mai, a city in northern Thailand, the cradle of Thai culture and the place to search for “zen”. An abundance of vegetarian dishes, all kinds of yoga styles, more than 300 Buddhist temples - Chiang Mai is an ideal place for lovers of a healthy lifestyle.

It's safe enough to wander around the back streets looking for a restaurant or a temple. You can go on an elephant ride or visit a village where women with long necks live. And don't forget the night market on Sunday - you can buy local jewelry there.

A palm-fringed beach town of perpetual summer, Goa welcomes nearly two million tourists a year. Here they have long been accustomed to Europeans and women can safely wear their usual clothes without fear of disrespectful attitude from local men.

The city has 30 beaches - on any of them you can have a pleasant time lying on a sun lounger and sipping mango lassi. You can find a group to do yoga, and in the evening you can all have dinner together at a restaurant on the beach, watching the sun set over the ocean.

Melbourne is the informal capital of culture, fine dining, live music, the best shopping in Australia and just a beautiful city.

Using a well-thought-out public transport system, you can be on time everywhere. The tram will take you to the bohemian suburb of St Kilda, where cafes offer great food and good books, before heading to Luna Park or shopping on Chapel Street. Enjoy free music festivals and watch the Australian Open tennis match.

Tulum is located on the Caribbean Sea, a few hours' drive from Playa del Carmen. It's a beautiful city, fairly safe and quieter than other tourist areas in Mexico. Friendly locals assure that a single woman can rent a bungalow on the beach and spend the night there alone. Spend the day by the sea or head into town for cheap, delicious food and live music. Don't forget to visit the ruins of Chechen Itza and swim with turtles on Akumal Beach.

The Hawaiian island, calm and safe, will touch a woman’s heart with its beautiful coastline and sea of ​​flowers, colorful sarong skirts and the famous aroma of blooming frangipani.

The city of Makawao hosts street parties every third Friday of the month that are definitely worth attending. Also, take a trip to the waterfalls and set your alarm so you can get up early and watch the sunrise at Haleakala Crater.

Ubud,

Ubud is surrounded by picturesque rice fields and dense forests and lies practically on the ocean - this is a real paradise for lovers of solo holidays. Here you can walk everywhere, buy delicious local food for less than $5, and choose quality clothes from local designer boutiques.

Be sure to greet the monkeys in the Sacred Monkey Forest, do not miss the yoga classes and order a relaxing and inexpensive massage in your room.

Santa Monica,

Santa Monica, a cozy city on the Pacific coast of Southern California, offers plenty of fun for women traveling alone. If you're tired of sunbathing on the beach, you can ride your bike to Redondo Beach, jog on the boardwalk or rollerblade, meeting a celebrity along the way. Santa Monica has plenty of cafes and bars serving organic food and drinks, and the famous Cafe Gratitude offers vegan lunches.

The ancient capital of the Incas, the city of Cusco, lying at an altitude of 3.4 kilometers above sea level, has today become a home to expats and an attractive point on the map for tourists. Admire the remains of Incan architecture, walk along ancient cobblestone streets, have lunch in a cozy cafe in the colorful Plaza de Armas, and buy a llama wool scarf at the Mercado. It’s worth riding along a horse trail to the sacred site of Sacsayhuaman (sounds almost like a sexy woman), and then buying souvenirs created by local handicrafts.

A modern woman is a self-sufficient person who can easily afford a vacation and a trip to another country without the accompaniment of relatives, friends or a boyfriend.

Have you already turned 18?

Solo travel as a type of tourism is gaining popularity, especially among girls. After all, sometimes you just want to be alone with yourself and your thoughts, make an important decision or not think about anything at all, just change the situation, or it happens that there is simply no one to go on vacation with. When traveling “solo”, you can only follow your desires: if you wanted, you went for a walk, if you wanted, you went shopping, if you wanted, you stayed in your room. There is no need to wait for anyone or take others into account; you can do whatever your heart desires. Traveling alone is a great opportunity to try something new, relax and unwind for yourself.

For girls, traveling alone is a little more difficult. The first and most important issue is, of course, safety. Not all countries are worth traveling to alone, as some are considered unsafe in general and for single girls in particular. In addition to safety, there are other important factors for a good holiday, for example, nature, quality of services provided, price level, hospitality of local residents. But fortunately, our planet is large and amazing, and there are quite a lot of places where a girl can safely go on a trip alone.

Iceland

Visa: required.

Prices: above average.

Official language: English.

The country is not a popular destination, but it is a place worth visiting. Everyone will like the country: here you can enjoy the amazing, simply fabulous nature, swim in warm springs, look at geysers and glaciers. An ideal place to clear your thoughts and enjoy solitude and peace. If nature isn't your thing, then head to Reykjavik for its vibrant nightlife and friendly people. Local residents, and especially young people, will be happy to welcome you into their company, introduce you to friends and family, show you the city and offer you an overnight stay. Iceland ranks first in the Global Peace Index.

The Global Peace Index shows the level of security of countries based on various factors, both external (foreign policy relations) and internal (crime levels in the country).

So you don’t have to worry about safety in Iceland, it is the safest and most peaceful country in the world. If a girl is planning a trip alone for the first time, then we confidently recommend Iceland.

Canada

Visa: required.

Prices: above average.

Official language: English and French.

Canada is the second largest country in the world. Unfortunately, little is written about this country in guidebooks, but in vain. Nature and friendly people with a great sense of humor are what make it worth visiting Canada at least once. I would recommend this country to girls who love nature and delicious wine. Everything here is gigantic in size: national parks, endless valleys, high mountains, glaciers. It is best to take a tour to see all the most beautiful places. Vancouver is a city with magnificent mountain views, various bodies of water, unique cuisine and excellent wine. Toronto is a melting pot of different cultures, it's impossible to be alone in this city, with over 100 languages ​​spoken here, it's a city where you can feel right at home. And if you want French charm, then you should visit the city of Montreal.

Advice! Canada is not a warm country, so take plenty of warm clothes.

Japan

Visa: required.

Prices: above average.

Official language: Japanese, but almost everyone speaks and understands English.

Japan is ranked 9th in the Global Peace Index, so girls traveling alone will feel safe here. The country is quite expensive, so be prepared for the fact that everything from flights, hotels, and food will cost a lot of money. Japan is a rather unusual country for Russian citizens; the culture and people here are completely different.

Tokyo is a city full of life, a metropolis like something out of a movie about the future. And if there is a need for solitude, then the best solution would be to go to Kyoto. The contrast will be crazy. This is a real paradise for yoga lovers and everyone who wants to meditate. Incredible Buddhist temples amaze with their beauty and scale. In Japan, you simply need to try the local cuisine and maybe even take a sushi-making master class. In any case, a girl traveling alone will feel comfortable and safe in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Scandinavian countries

Visa: required.

Prices: above average.

Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Girls who want to travel alone can easily choose one of three countries or go on a trip to all three countries. Denmark ranks second on the list of safest countries, Sweden is 14th and Norway is 17th. In these countries you can visit various museums and watch staged scenes of Viking life. The most interesting and unusual way to get to know the Scandinavian countries is to take a boat trip through the fjords; their beauty is mesmerizing. You may see it, it's something that gives you goosebumps, but it remains in your memory forever.

Stockholm is a must-visit, because it was this city that gave us IKEA with names of items that are funny to us. Copenhagen is a city with a moderate life, there are mostly old colorful houses and practically no skyscrapers. There is no crazy traffic in this city because people mostly get around on bicycles or on foot. Oslo is a city of unusual museums, galleries and delicious cuisine. Flåm is a city that almost everyone on the planet has seen, yes, that’s right, because the nature of this city is the setting of many films about Vikings. Girls who dream of seeing the northern lights, fjords and those who are interested in Vikings can safely go to the Scandinavian countries.

Ghana

Visa: required (can be issued upon arrival).

Prices: average/below average.

Official language: English.

Ghana is a country on the continent of Africa. This is the safest country in Africa. Therefore, single girls who dream of visiting the African continent can pack their bags and fly to Ghana. The most expensive part of the trip will be the flight, but the cost of accommodation and food prices are more than affordable. But I still wouldn’t recommend relaxing completely. Since the official language is English, it will be quite easy to communicate with the locals. People go to Africa to look at wild animals in their natural habitat, and this is exactly what you can fully enjoy in Ghana. For girls interested in history, it will be interesting to see the ruins of Cape Post and Elmina castles, which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. And for beach lovers, this is a paradise; many uncrowded, incredibly beautiful beaches delight tourists.

New Zealand

Visa: required.

Prices: above average.

Official language: English.

The country is one of the five most peaceful countries in the world. Lord of the Rings fans are flocking to Wellington to see the film's locations in person. Queenstown is a city for true thrill-seekers: rafting, rope jumping, jeeping, challenging ski slopes and other extreme sports in one place. Every year, thousands of single travelers come to New Zealand and leave with friends from all over the world, because common interests firmly unite people.

Chile

Visa:

Prices: average.

Official language: Spanish.

Chile is a Latin American country, one of the safest for single girls. If you decide to travel to Latin America, then for safety reasons it would be best to choose Chile. The locals are very friendly and will tell you a lot of interesting things, provided you speak Spanish. Unfortunately, few locals speak English. But if you do find a common language, then you will definitely be invited to dinner, fed with delicious homemade food and taught the basic steps of Latin American dances. Mountains, the islands of Patagonia and Chiloe, the Atacama Desert - this country has everything for a good holiday, and you are unlikely to feel lonely, because the Chileans simply charge everyone with their positive energy.

Indonesia

Visa: not needed (provided you stay in the country for up to 30 days).

Prices: below the average.

Official language: Indonesian.

The country in Southeast Asia is one of the most favorite places for tourists traveling alone, including girls. No one here will be surprised by a lonely girl walking with a backpack. People come to Indonesia mainly to find themselves, escape from everyday affairs and just relax. Here you can go surfing and find fun company. Or stay alone with yourself in some Buddhist temple. The locals are very friendly, and despite the possible language barrier, they will try to help. Low housing prices, abundance of seafood and fresh vegetables and fruits are another reason to come to Indonesia. Of course, it is not the safest country, but if you choose among the southeastern countries, then Indonesia will be the right choice.

Europe

Visa: required.

Prices: average.

In Europe there are many pickpockets, thieves on motorcycles, and the crime rate has been increasing in recent years, but there are still countries and cities in which girls traveling on their own will find it safe and interesting.

Switzerland. The country of delicious chocolate, good watches and reliable banks, Switzerland is also in seventh place in the global peace index. Isn't this a reason to visit the country alone? You can eat a lot of chocolate and no one will judge you. It’s worth starting your trip from Zurich; this city is one of the safest for pedestrians; lovers of walking will definitely enjoy it here. And nature lovers will be delighted by the beauty of Lake Geneva. By the way, any city or place of interest in Switzerland is easy to reach; the transport system is well developed in the country. Girls who want to have fun can head to the city of Montreux, where you can admire the paintings in museums during the day and have fun at night in bars and nightclubs.

Austria. Austria ranks honorably third among the safest countries in the world. A small country that is very convenient to travel around; in a week you can visit the most popular cities: Insburg, Künzbähl, Salzburg. Or you can stay in Vienna; in this small city, a girl traveling alone will easily find something to do. The Vienna State Opera is a must-see, and there are a huge number of museums. You simply must try a real Viennese waffle and Viennese coffee.

Germany. You can find everything in this country. From museums of modern art, informal youth, the creative elite in Berlin to delicious sausages and incomparable beer in Munich. I advise lovers of beauty to go to the Dresden Library. For lovers of beer and fun, it is best to go to Germany in October for Oktoberfest. Another advantage is that there are many people from the post-Soviet space living in the country, so you are unlikely to have a language barrier. Germany is in 15th place in the ranking of safe countries.

In any case, dear girls, a lot depends on you, on your behavior, on your attitude towards others. Therefore, do not forget that you are visiting another country, and you should respect the traditions and local residents. My personal opinion is that you can travel alone to almost any country, the main thing is to understand where and why you are going. And if you relax and forget about basic safety rules, you can end up in an unpleasant situation in the safest country in the world.

Travel and get unforgettable emotions!

First of all, it is worth mentioning the standard exceptions. They are regulated not only by the insurance conditions of a particular company, but also insurance legislation. No auto insurer will compensate for damage resulting from the following events.

1. Exposure to radiation.
2. Popular unrest.
3. Military events.
4. Nuclear explosion.

In addition, you should not expect payment when the car was requisitioned or confiscated by a decision of one of the government agencies. If the state representative had sufficient authority and his actions do not contradict the law, the insurer will refuse to compensate for damage resulting from such actions.

In addition, no insurance company will compensate for moral damage.

This also includes cases of lost profits and commercial losses of the car owner, for example, due to the downtime of a damaged car.

Along with the events described, it is worth mentioning cases of damage to technically faulty vehicles. If the client violated the rules for operating the car or did not pass the mandatory technical inspection, he will be refused compensation for damage.

The same result will happen if the car is rented or rented without the knowledge of the insurance company. In addition, the car owner will not be compensated for damage when using the vehicle in competitions or tests, if such a possibility is not provided for by the terms of the contract.

What does CASCO cover and does not cover?

All risks under CASCO are divided into two categories: basic and additional. The main risks are specified in the guidelines for motor insurance of land transport. These are fire, spontaneous combustion, collision of two or more vehicles, collision with standing objects, falling objects on a car (including snow, ice), illegal actions of third parties and vandalism, natural disasters (lightning, storm, tornado, tsunami, hail, rainfall, flood, earthquake, landslide), etc. Having a CASCO policy and the occurrence of at least one of the above risks is an insured event under CASCO.

Additional risks are included in the terms and conditions of insurance individually according to the provided program and may differ from additional types of other insurance companies. For example, an insurance company may determine that under a certain type of program it will not cover damage such as scratches on the paintwork or theft from an unguarded parking lot.

Each insurance company individually can revise additional risks, accordingly including them in the terms of the policy or excluding them from the terms. Also, these changes affect the tariff rate and can ultimately change the cost of the CASCO policy. Conclusion - the cheaper the CASCO insurance, the fewer additional risks are included in the insurance conditions.

Therefore, in order to find out what CASCO covers directly under your policy, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the terms of the insurance program offered to you and read the methodological recommendations on CASCO. You can also ask a number of questions to the insurance manager of your chosen insurance company and receive satisfactory answers.

You can directly ask the office manager about which risks are covered by this policy and which are not. Pay special attention to risks not foreseen. They will clearly show what you cannot count on. Since each insurance company must separately obtain a license to insure ground transport, having rules for CASCO and changing them is a labor-intensive matter. And accordingly, these rules are established and cannot be changed.

For example, your friend insured his car under a program that includes paint damage. You, in turn, may think that all insurance companies cover this damage and take out a CASCO policy from another company at a cheaper price, without asking questions about the terms of the contract. However, it may happen that your policy does not include this type of risk and you do not receive a payment for paint restoration.

If you like active holidays, then Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Spain are the countries you need. Exploring the sights, visiting noisy night discos, going to local markets, and of course, tanned, slender handsome men with a dazzling smile will not let you get bored. But don't lose your head.

If you prefer a more relaxing holiday, you should go to France, Austria, Italy or another European country. Here you can completely dissolve in the romance surrounding you. These countries have a centuries-old history, which you can learn on excursions. And evening visits to restaurants and cafes will give you the opportunity to find your other half. Some girls go on such trips precisely for the sake of dating.

Putting aside thoughts about warmth, you can go skiing or snowboarding. For lovers of extreme sports, regular hiking or river rafting is also suitable. Uniting with nature and testing your own strength will charge you with only positive emotions and show you life from the other side.

A lonely girl does not mean a loner. You can take your friends with you and then your vacation will be even better. Remember your childhood dreams and make them come true right now!
