Male Solo Travel Recommendations

farmer2018

Looking for recommendations where to travel next year, I love scenery, outdoors, nature, and animals. Budget isn't a problem or time frame really.

Ecuador is great.

Great outdoors/scenery. Can walk up snowy active volcanos with smoke billowing out.

I volunteered on a nature reserve in Botswana a few years ago. Highly recommended and would tick a lot of those boxes.

British Columbia/Alberta in Canada if you're looking for scenery, outdoors, nature and animals.

I presume costs are cheap in Vietnam? Food, accommodation, travel?

Can anyone give advice on Thailand, I presume it's quite cheap to travel around like Vietnam?

If you go into the likes of Trailfinders and tell them what you like they'll give you loads of ideas. I go in and take their brochures sometimes to get new ideas. Or you could download the Free Sample of a few Lonely Planets on Amazon and see the suggested itineraries.

Yes, Thailand is fairly cheap.

Very much against the run of the thread, but you can find some great challenging, exhilarating, scenic options a lot closer to home. I would recommend looking at one of the long-distance hiking trails through France, Germany, Switzerland or Italy. If you can organise to do one primarily during term-time, chances are you'll only see non-human animals for most of the week.

That's not an exaggeration, by the way - I did a circular route through part of the Vosges a couple of winters ago, and when I "closed the circle" at the end of the day, the only bootprints in the snow were my own from that morning. If you do meet anyone on the way, chances are they're the kind of person you'd acutally like talking to - why else would they be wandering alone in a mountain, 2500m above sea-level? :-)
