According to Solotravelworld.com, solo travel means the tourist going somewhere else alone and during their trip, they choose and decide everything such as services, activities, places.

The first thing to do when considering a solo adventure is, which countries, cities and islands are safe for solo travel. Not so long ago Zanzibar was trending in very not good way when it comes to solo travel. A young woman who traveled alone to a hotel in Zanzibar last year to celebrate her 23rd birthday posted a string of tweets alleging that the hotel, and the police on the Tanzanian island, covered up a traumatic attack she suffered in her room during the night. It is vital to do thorough research when it comes to this.
Once you've found you destination, research on the places neighborhoods, plan an itinerary and then find a place to stay that fits within the locations of your itinerary, neighborhood safety and of course your budget.
There are many things you can do as a solo traveler besides site seeing. Volunteer at a shelter and get to know the community you're staying at, I promise you, you wont regret getting to know a place and its people, after all why choose the destination if you wish not to know it that well. If you're religious attend a sermon there. Look up some events that are happening and go meet some awesome like minded people, mingle and network. Leave a bit of your presence when you travel, don't just travel to see a place, but become a part of it while you're there. #solotraveltips
