Traveling is an incredible thing to do at any point in your life. It’s so much fun to plan a trip with friends or family, but solo travel is a unique and exhilarating experience that many people find helps them gain new perspectives on life. Some parts of the world are better than others for solo travel, and one of the best countries is New Zealand. Here are some reasons why it makes such a good solo travel destination. 

It’s Safe

Many popular travel destinations are exciting but can be quite risky, especially when traveling alone. New Zealand however, is known for being one of the safest countries and has low crime rates compared to other areas of the world. Knowing this will help you feel more confident when traveling around by yourself. 

Accessible Language

English is one of the most widely spoken languages worldwide, with many people learning it as a second language. This is the most commonly spoken language in New Zealand, meaning that it will be much easier to communicate with others while there, whether in a store or meeting people in a hostel. 

Stunning Sights

On top of all the practical reasons that New Zealand is so great for solo travelers, it also has some of the most incredible and exciting landscapes to explore. Fans of the Lord of the Rings movie franchise will know how beautiful and wild the natural spaces are there, but these landscapes will take anyone’s breath away.
