New Zealand
New Zealand is a magical place that anyone who has ever visited can attest to. There are a number of things to do during your stay, including paying a visit to Hobbiton. New Zealand is incredibly safe, even for solo female travelers. You won't ever feel as if you're in danger.
Bhutan
This country in South Asia is perfectly placed on the Himalayas’ eastern edge. It also happens to be one of the happiest countries in the world. This is due to their Gross National Happiness, which is a philosophy they use to guide their government. It essentially uses an index to measure the happiness and well-being of its people. It's safe to say you'll learn a lot from your visit to Bhutan.
Spain
Known for being in the top 20 safest cities in the world, Spain is a country straight out of a fairytale. There is plenty of diversity in this European country that you'll just have to see to believe. It really is a lively place to enjoy yourself and let loose.
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is a North American gem that doesn't get the spotlight it deserves. With its rich history and culture, you'll be immersed in adventure everywhere you go. Those who have visited point out how friendly the locals are. So if this is your first solo travel trip, you'll be in good hands in Puerto Rico.
The Netherlands
The Netherlands are known for being incredibly safe. People swear you can roam the city on your own at 3 a.m. and not worry about being mugged. We don't encourage doing that, just to be clear. For those who enjoy cycling, this is a fantastic city for that. Don't forget to visit the tulip fields while you're there, too.
Japan
Given Japan will host the 2021 Olympic Games, you will have plenty to do when you visit next year. It may be fairly packed, so you'll want to plan your trip as early in advance as possible. You can also easily navigate this city without knowing Japanese, so don't fret about the language barrier.
Switzerland
Switzerland is ranked one of the top five safest countries for travelers. You really won't have too much to worry about, other than having a good time. Bad joke aside, Switzerland is a breathtaking country perfect for those who want to be immersed in nature. Oh, and chocolate-lovers will also enjoy the sweet morsels this country offers.
