SAFEST PLACES TO TRAVEL in 2023 ? (Especially For New Solo Beginners)
Came across an new article by berkshire hathaway, which got circulated around by many sites, which lists the safest places to travel for now in 2023 (solo or otherwise). This is something which they list every year. Keeping that this list in mind, I've gone & expanded upon as to why its so.
Hopefully this helps any new solo travelers who are reluctant or afraid to start their journey, these places would be a good start.
No country is 100% safe.
Keep in mind, this list doesn’t guarantee your safety as an individual traveler, your safety is in your hands. Use your judgement, use common sense, be practical, be informed.
Although I've done my best to hunt for accurate info., if you still feel if there's any discrepancy, or an imp. information that needs to be added, which relates to current times, (which can help travelers) let me know in the comments, I'll change it.
Can't speak for all 4 places on the list, but I've travelled Australia solo(and even camped in a tent multiple times near small cities there) - folks there are extremely nice to travellers and overall I felt pretty safe(even though some parts of Sydney are kinda sketchy) even did some bird hunting in Loch Luna(even though it's been ages since then :D Still have the shotgun I've used - Rem 870, changed it a bit for home defense over the years. Now it looks more like one from this article: https://blog.gritrsports.com/5-best-home-defense-tactical-shotguns-2022-guide/ , still one of the greatest guns I have!)
Fantastic article. I am currently in Scotland and whilst I am not a single traveller (my husband and cat has tagged along) I do go out and about on my own all the time. The locals are just so friendly and I feel very safe here! Italy (especially Montecatini Terme) felt very safe as a solo female traveller. Very family vibe there :D
Thanks for the feedback,
Just read about Montecatini Terme, being a "Great Spa Town of Europe".
Hopefully will get to see it one day,
Do you recommend it as a general/good travel destination ?
What do you mean by safe here ?
