Traveling solo is one of life's greatest adventures. Freedom, flexibility, empowerment and reflection are just some of the reasons to plan a solo trip. Over the past decade, solo travel stereotypes have evolved from gap year students backpacking the Gringo Trail in South America to trips encompassing a wide variety of travel themes, experiences and budgets. With the rise of digital nomadism, greater connectivity via social media and a growing what am I waiting for?" mindset that tends to occur during tumultuous times, solo travel is a growing trend among travelers of all ages. Whether you're looking to travel as part of a group tour or independently, it's never been easier (or more affordable) to chart your own course. Many hefty single supplements are now being waived or reduced for both overland journeys and cruises. For first-time solo travelers, there are plenty of U.S. destinations that combine easy access, relative affordability, welcoming vibes and diverse experiences to help streamline a solo vacation. This enables you to step out of your comfort zone and experience travel in a new way. Here are 12 of our favorite destinations for solo travel in the U.S. for 2025. San Luis Obispo, California. Paso Robles near San Luis Obispo. MIMI DITCHIE PHOTOGRAPHY/GETTY IMAGES. Best for : Surfing by day, wine tasting by night. Equidistant from San Francisco and Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo County combines lush scenery, coastal adventures, historic charm and superb wine tasting within a relatively small and easy-to-navigate area. Often referred to as "Little Santa Barbara," the city is a charming, laid-back stopover for solo travelers embarking on a Pacific Coast Highway road trip. The unpretentious downtown area is studded with historic landmarks, including the 18th-century Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, now a museum housing artifacts from Native American and Mission-era history. Foodies should time their stay with the bustling farmers market (Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m.), where more than 100 vendors sell a variety of farm-fresh produce, flowers and even farm-to-table dinners.

Downtown SLO's welcoming wine bars and tasting rooms are a cozy backdrop for solo travelers looking to make new friends. They provide a fun initiation into coastal California's prized pinot noir and chardonnay varietals. Just a 10-minute drive from town, family-owned vineyards and tasting rooms dot the lush rolling hills of the Edna Valley. Some 30 miles north of SLO, the Paso Robles wine region is often touted as an affordable and more laid-back dupe for Napa. At Pismo Beach, adventure lovers can surf, boogie board or ride an all-terrain vehicle across the largest swath of coastal dunes in California. This classic California beach town is surrounded by the Pismo Preserve, which provides sanctuary to owls, hawks, peregrine falcons and other wildlife. Where to stay. If you are looking for a coastal base for exploration, the Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach, Autograph Collection has reasonable room rates for its prime beachfront position. Rooms start at $240 or 56,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. Boston. Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, Boston. ANDREA ROTONDO/THE POINTS GUY. Best for : History buffs. From its crucial role in the Revolutionary War to longstanding icons like Fenway Park, Quincy Market and its many museums, Boston hosts a wealth of attractions for solo travelers who want to soak up some history. For a firsthand look at Boston's early days, step onto The Freedom Trail, a walking tour of 16 sites that played integral roles in the birth of our nation. You can continue your exploration in some of Boston's historic neighborhoods, including Beacon Hill and the North End (Boston's Little Italy). Or, for a panoramic look at the city sights, head to View Boston. View Boston offers 360-degree views of the city from one of the tallest buildings in New England, along with several exhibits where you can learn more about the city. Where to stay. If you plan to spend an evening cheering on the Boston Red Sox, staying at The Verb Hotel (starting at $110 per night) puts you within walking distance of Fenway. For a points-friendly option, book a room at The Liberty, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston, where rates start at $260 or 56,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. The building once served as the home of Boston's Charles Street Jail, and you can dine among the preserved jail cell facades at the hotel's restaurant, Clink. Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe, New Mexico. DENIS TANGNEY JR/GETTY IMAGES. Best for : Artistic enlightenment. Santa Fe has long been a haven for solo travelers searching for spiritual fulfillment and ethereal natural wonders. Nestled beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the sacred ruins, shrines, New Age institutes and yoga centers offer healing and enlightenment for those at a crossroads in life. As one of the world's greatest art centers, the New Mexico capital is celebrated for its rich tricultural heritage (Pueblo, Spanish and Anglo-American), vibrant arts scene and striking adobe architecture. Art lovers can spend a day perusing the galleries and artisan studios lining Canyon Road. Then, they can head to an open-air concert at the world-famous Santa Fe Opera, which draws opera devotees from all across the globe. Santa Fe's mystical desert landscapes are immortalized by the late painter Georgia O'Keeffe, the "Mother of American Modernism." The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, housed in a former Baptist church, holds the world's largest repository of the late artist's works. The city has also become a mainspring for innovative Southwestern flavors and cuisine, and some of the West's most acclaimed restaurants are located here. Where to stay.
