A lot of people like to travel alone. They say that in this way they can get to know the world and themselves better. And besides, you do not need to adapt to anyone: you want to spend the whole day on the beach and not go anywhere — please, suddenly decided to go to explore the ruins — but at least right now!
The main thing is that your travels leave only good impressions and be safe. That is why this collection includes 10 countries with the highest rates of the Global peace index and the International happiness index.
Norway
10th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
22nd place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
The best way to get to know Norway is to take a ride on Board one of the steamers that sail along the coast of the country, passing through some of the most beautiful fjords and stopping at dozens of seaports along the way. Or go on a multi-day hike along the fjords, staying in hotels and mountain huts. Northern lights will be your bonus.
Switzerland
5th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
30 place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
Arm yourself with good Hiking boots and go explore the expanses of Switzerland. Fortunately, there is a very well developed transport structure, so to every interesting place there is a tram, train or steamship. Visit Zurich and then head South to the shores of lake Geneva, to Montreux and Lausanne, where you will find plenty of entertainment: restaurants, Nightclubs and luxury hotels.
Vietnam
45th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
2nd place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
Vietnam is a colorful city, rich markets and smiling locals. You can combine a beach holiday with an educational one in Phan Thiet. This resort is one of the most attractive in Asia. But for entertainment is better to go to Hanoi.
New Zealand
4th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
24th place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
Inspiring landscapes, glaciers, rainforests, mountains — this place is just magical. Fabulous landscapes like retouched in photoshop. You go and don't believe it's real. Active guests can try bungee jumping, boating and Hiking on the legendary Milford Track — the most popular walk of the nine new Zealand Great Walks.
Austria
3rd place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
42nd place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
Small and compact, Vienna is one of the most suitable European cities for single travel. Many concert halls, dozens of museums and cafes where you should stay. Salzburg, where Wolfgang Amadeus once lived, is even smaller, but no less worthy of a visit. And to the cleanest lakes and hot mineral springs go to the charming Carinthia.
Japan
8th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
48th place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
Spend a few days in the fascinating metropolis of Tokyo, take a high-speed train ride past mount Fuji and enjoy the tranquility of old Kyoto. As for the number of attractions and museums — this is all right: Japan will find something to surprise even experienced tourists.
Chile
30th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
19 place in the ranking of the International happiness index.
Chileans are friendly and welcoming, which will be a big plus for lovers of solo travel. Chile is 3000 km of deserts, mountains and endless coast. You can go to the North, where you will find the magical Atacama desert, or to the South, to the Islands of Chiloe or Patagonia. It is worth visiting Santiago, the largest Chilean city. Chileans are very hospitable — so you can easily join the family barbecue and become part of the Chilean family for a while.
Sweden
11th place in the ranking of the Global peace index.
45th place in the ranking of the International happiness index.

If you prefer a more or less popular tourist destination, visit Lombok, an island off the coast of Bali.
