Everything You NEED to Know About Solo Traveling in Bali

• November 25, 2023

Solo traveling around Bali is a great chance to explore the island freely and at your own pace.

Explore enchanting temples, experience the vibrant nightlife, make quick friends and immerse yourself in the culture.

By visiting alone, you’ll have the freedom to go wherever you want, when you want – no planning required!

You’ll meet loads of locals who are excited to share their insider knowledge, and show you around their home. Balinese people, and Indonesians in general, are incredibly proud of their homeland.

For those looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure, you’ve come to the right place. Pack your bags and get ready for the journey of a lifetime!

Here is everything you need to know about taking a solo traveling around Bali.

Why Travel Solo in Bali?

There are endless reasons why you might want to take your travels into your own hands and go solo traveling in Bali. You might want to avoid big crowded tours, save some money or just go at your own pace – Bali is a totally safe place to go it alone.

Spend your days wandering the island, mixing in groups you wouldn’t usually meet and exploring places that you wouldn’t usually go. When you are adventuring solo, you don’t need to worry about suiting someone else’s schedule, you can do it however you want.

There are amazing, vast landscapes, must-see cultural sights and lot of days where you can lounge away on the beautiful Bali beaches without having someone rushing you.

The Island of the Gods has a reputation for ‘changing people’. It is often used as a spiritual pilgrimage to find one’s purpose, and help work out the next steps in life. When you take the leap to visit Bali solo, you can really delve deep into your own self-development and improvement.

Where to Stay in Bali as a Solo Traveler

For the adventurous solo traveler, Bali is a dream destination. It has a little bit of everything from an energetic nightlife in Canggu, to spiritual temples in Ubud and the breathtaking vistas in Uluwatu – it is a tropical paradise that will lure you in for the time of your life.

Solo Traveling in Canggu

Canggu is the number 1 spot to stay in Bali right now. The charming coastal town is full of beaches, instagrammable cafes, restaurants, nightlife and shops.

A perfect place to meet people and find some travel buddies, Canggu is the most popular spot for backpackers, luxe explorers and solo travelers in Bali. It is teeming with digital nomads who have made the island their home thanks to all the amazing coworking spaces and Western amenities.

Spend your days hanging out on the beach, taking surf lessons and sipping coconuts, then refreshing before a night of partying, drinking and dancing in some of the best clubs in Canggu . If you are a totally outgoing person or prefer something a little more lowkey, Canggu has something for everyone!

For those who can’t go without their workout, the town is packed with modern gyms and fitness centers that offer every kind of work out – CrossFit, F45, pilates, yoga, everything! Getting down with your favourite hobby is a great way to make some friends.

As one of the busiest parts of Bali, you will encounter a lot of traffic, crowds and tourists, however as everything is so spread out across the town, it won’t bother your visit too much. If you aren’t keen to drive yourself, the GOJEK and Grab apps are a totally safe and reliable way to get around.

Our Favorite Places to Stay in Canggu:

Tribal hostel.

The Cali Villas Canggu

Solo Traveling in Seminyak

If Canggu is the boho dream of Bali, Seminyak is the cosmopolitan heart of the island. It is a hip and vibrant area filled with amazing restaurants , bars, beach clubs and amenities. A beautiful town to call your island home, it has everything you need in the way of comfortable amenities, while mingling with classic Bali life.

When traveling solo in Seminyak, you’ll have everything you need in walking distance – no matter where you stay. Enjoy days around the town finding cute, trendy cafes, trying out world-class food and having a laze on the sand soaking in the sun.

A top spot for beachfront sunset cocktails, head to one of the town’s lavish beach clubs where the music gets louder as the day turns into night. With a front row view to a famous sunset and a cool vibey atmosphere, the party people will find it easy to make friends!

Wanna party? The nightlife in Seminyak is THRIVING! The area is packed with plenty of bars and clubs where you can dance the night away, or just grab a few drinks and watch live music. If you are heading out alone, be sure to stay cautious and aware of your belongings, keeping an eye on your drink at all times.

Staying in Seminyak is incredibly safe for solo travelers. Taking all the usual precautions like staying vigilant of your belongings, staying away from weird situations, and not doing anything stupid – like drinking too much or hopping in a random car, you are sure to have a comfortable and memorable stay!

Our Favorite Places to Stay in Seminyak:

Tijili hotel.

Stellar Capsules

Solo Traveling in Ubud

Ubud is the cultural heart of the island where many people head for a more spiritual experience. With some beautiful landscapes, cool attractions and heaps of culture, if you want to see a touch of the real Bali, Ubud is a must!

You can join in spiritual experiences like a traditional Melukat cleansing and rituals, explore the incredible Hindu temples , and get lost in the magnificent jungle. A stay in Ubud is filled with magic!

The mountain air of Ubud is fresh and invigorating – the temperatures tend to be cooler than in the rest of Bali making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. Plus, the local food scene is top notch! There are plenty of healthy food options , including vegan and vegetarian spots.

Although the heart of the town can be pretty manic with beeping bikes and hawking tourists, once you get away from the main road and into the smaller, quieter villages, you can really immerse in the culture of Bali.

Traveling around Ubud alone can be a truly transformative experience. You can go it solo the whole time, or join a yoga retreat or class to make some new friends.

Our Favorite Places to Stay in Ubud:

Sabana ubud.

Outpost Ubud Penestanan Coworking & Coliving

Solo Traveling in Uluwatu

Uluwatu is surfer central, renowned for expansive ocean views, breathtaking beaches, and interesting culture. Their expat scene is on the rise too!

The Ulu coastline is filled with hidden hideaways for days in the sun, and those sought-after waves for surfers of all levels.

As well as being a digital nomad and beach-goer hotspot, there are some great cultural spots to see. There’s Uluwatu Temple and the GWK Cultural Park that will let you learn even more about the Balinese culture.

And make sure the famous, magical Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple is on your to-do list!

The area is incredibly safe and welcoming to solo travelers. As with everywhere on the island, the locals are super friendly and welcoming – there will always be someone offering a helping hand.

You’ll quickly find that Uluwatu is an affordable destination, making it a great choice for budget travelers.

For getting around, renting a scooter is best as public transportation is pretty limited. That being said, you will need to have a little experience driving in Uluwatu to feel comfortable on the winding roads – don’t push yourself if you don’t feel ready!

Our Favorite Places to Stay in Uluwatu:

Gravity boutique hotel.

Kalia Bingin

Solo Traveling in Kuta

Kuta may no longer be one of the most popular areas to visit in Bali , but it is a great spot for having everything you need in walking distance.

Known for its sprawling beach and large shopping malls, it is an ideal place to spend lazy days enjoying the sun, doing some retail therapy and basking in the calm, tropical atmosphere of Bali.

Packed with amazingly affordable hotels, hostels, guesthouses and villas, you can have a touch of luxury even if you are on a budget and alone. Solo travelers in Bali will love the hostel options as it will help you make friends to head out and explore with.

Kuta’s nightlife is renowned, with huge buzzing bars and clubs lining Legian street. You can party away till the early hours of the morning, just a moment’s ride away from your accommodation (order a GO-JEK!!)

It is a little further out from the new up and coming fave places in Bali, but it is close to the airport and a great start to a Bali adventure.

Our Favorite Places to Stay in Kuta:

Bedrock hotel kuta.

Cara Cara Inn

Solo Traveling in Other Parts of Bali

There are many other parts of Bali that are equally as beautiful and worthwhile visiting as a solo traveler. With stunning landscapes, outstanding accommodations and must-do activities, you don’t want to miss out on these more untouched parts of the island.

Kintamani is magnificent area of Bali filled with natural beauty which remains, relatively, untouched. The mountainous region is home to the magical Lake Batur and active volcano Mount Batur. You can find some great hiking trails , beautiful waterfalls and traditional villages.

Lovina is another rural place to explore if you’re looking for a more off the beaten path experience. There are black sand beaches, beautiful coral reefs and some epic diving spots !

For a more unique solo traveling experience in Bali, these less touristy places are definitely worth checking out.

Our Favorite Places to Stay in Other Parts of Bali:

Top Tips for Solo Traveling in Bali

• Pack light: One of the best tips for traveling alone in Bali is to pack light. You don’t want to be carrying around a heavy backpack with all your belongings from place to place. Pack the essentials and pick up anything else you need on the island – they have pretty much everything you can think of!
• Research: Before you go, it’s important to do your research about Bali. Learn about the culture, customs, language, and attractions. This will help you better understand the island and make the most out of your trip. Of course you’ll find everything you need to know on Balipedia 😉
• Stay safe: Safety is paramount when traveling alone! Make sure to stay in well-lit and secure areas, keep your valuables safe, and always let someone know where you’re going. Many accommodations in Bali are safe, but be sure to check reviews before booking anywhere.
• Respect the culture: Bali is a very diverse and religious place. Be sure you respect the culture and customs of the locals. This means being mindful of how you dress, following the rules, and being polite. You will get much more out of your experience if you stay respectful.
• Stay connected: Stay connected with your friends and family back home but don’t get lost in the Instagram hype. Put down your phone and really take a look at the island.
• Learn some Bahasa Indonesia: Learning some basic phrases in Bahasa Indonesia will make your stay even easier! Impress the locals with a little bit of their own language – you may even get some better deals at the markets 😉
• Get travel insurance: Although it isn’t a requirement to have travel insurance for Bali , we highly recommend it! You never know what is around the corner in terms of delays, missing luggage, accidents and robbings, cover your back for it all with a good insurance!
• Be flexible: Don’t feel like you have to stick to a strict itinerary during your Bali holiday. Be flexible and open to new experiences! It will help you make the most of your trip and find yourself in some truly incredible situations.
• Have fun: Traveling solo around Bali isn’t something everyone gets to do! Make the most of the opportunity and really dive into every chance handed to you, you won’t regret it!

Final Thoughts

Solo traveling in Bali is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have as a solo traveler. The island is overflowing with natural beauty and an interesting, rich culture. It’s easy to discover something new every day.

Whether you venture out to explore the expansive rice terraces and villages of the central highlands, or take in the breathtaking views from atop the Uluwatu cliff tops, there’s truly something for everyone.

Packed with other adventurous backpackers and travelers looking for an adventure buddy, heading to Bali solo won’t be lonely!

Tips for Traveling Solo in Indonesia

06/26/2018 by Kristin Addis 15 Comments

Indonesia might be the most diverse country in the world to travel through. I didn’t realize it at first, but now returning from my fifth stint in wonderful Indonesia, I’m realizing how different each culture, landscape, food, and religion are across this archipelago.

As a solo traveler, that makes Indonesia more enigmatic than the other countries in Southeast Asia. What works on one island won’t necessarily work on another. There are different things you’ll have to take into account depending on where you go. That said, the diversity is part of what makes Indonesia such a joy to travel through.

After spending months there, this is what I learned about solo travel in Indonesia:

Table of Contents

The friendliest places in Indonesia for solo travelers

As with anywhere in the world, some places are going to be better for solo travelers than others. It comes down to how likely you are to meet other solo travelers, how much infrastructure there is for tourists, and the wealth of activities. These are some of my favorites:

Kuta, Lombok

Bali’s neighbor, Lombok, is what I believe people are picturing when they think of Bali. Lombok is still rural, most of the beaches are empty, and there’s plenty of good surf. If you read my other articles, you’ll know that I say when a place has a shared activity it draws lots of solo travelers in. This is the beauty of Kuta in Lombok . Don’t worry if you’re not a surfer, you can decide to learn, or just rent a scooter and adventure around the beautiful beaches. Don’t forget to check out the waterfalls up north too!

Nusa islands, Bali

The Nusa islands off of the southeastern tip of Bali are a must-see. They are each so different, with Nusa Lembongan attracting the most tourists, followed by the smallest, Nusa Ceningan with baby blue water that you got to see to believe, to my favorite Nusa Penida , the most rugged and rural of the three. The islands are gorgeous, the people are friendly, and it’s nowhere near as hectic as Bali. Try to give them at least four days if you can. Check out my full itinerary here.

Gili Air, Lombok

When you want to go to a place without roads or sounds of motors, check out the Gilis off the coast of Lombok. My personal favorite is Gili Air , which has a laid-back vibe. It’s the perfect place to learn how to freedive , chill on the beach while watching the sunset, and look for sea turtles. This can easily become a part of your Nusa islands and Lombok trip as the three form a triangle – easy!

Raja Ampat, West Papua

Raja Ampat is remote and has only recently opened up to tourism without special permits. It is also home to what might be the best scuba diving in the world. I went on a liveaboard dive trip there this year and absolutely loved the Robinson Crusoe feel of the islands, most of which are uninhabited. It’s also a perfect way to meet other solo travelers on a dive ship. You’ve got a built-in network of friends already!

Yoyo’s, West Sumbawa

West Sumbawa is the least known and frequented place on this list but it is just starting to get on tourist’s radars. Accessible from Lombok’s east side, West Sumbawa is full of incredible photo ops, gorgeous beaches that truly don’t have anyone else around, and lots of waves for surfing. The beauty of it is even the most popular area, Yoyo’s, only has a few guest houses and restaurants. It’s easy to meet others because there are always people around to surf, but even if you’re not a surfer, there’s great diving and snorkeling too. Plus, the infamous Mt. Tambora isn’t too far away if you’re a hiker. If you’re feeling up to exploring something off the beaten path, this is it.

Bukit Lawang, Sumatra

Northern Sumatra is one of only two places in the world where you can see wild orangutans, and Bukit Lawang is the perfect hub. This little town on the river is one of the friendliest places I have ever been to. Everyone knew my name by the second day! I left a little piece of my heart there.

Solo female travel advice in Indonesia

To quickly give some history, Indonesia was located on a major trading route and had influences from all over the world throughout its history. The country is made up of several different cultures that eventually became one country of radically different people. Although Bahasa is the shared language, each island and region has its own local dialect, its own religion, and its own culture.

What is considered perfectly acceptable behavior and attire on one island might be the opposite on another. Here are the main things to consider:

⁃ Modesty is important on predominantly Muslim islands such as Lombok, Sumbawa, Java. ⁃ Bali has its own culture and religion which is rooted in Hinduism, Buddhism, and animism. You’ll find tantric retreats and nudist beaches there, and yet, on temples in Bali you’ll see signs that advise women on their periods not to enter. Apparently this is because of the different energy it introduces , however the world still has a long way to come in terms of equality! ⁃ Parts of Sumatra and Flores are mostly Christian where covering shoulders and knees isn’t as important, however modesty is common for local women all over Indonesia. Blending in can only help you feel more at ease.

Finally, you might notice you’re approached more as a love interest as a solo female traveler. There are plenty of wonderful men in Indonesia who are deserving of love and trust, just be aware of the ‘Kuta Cowboys. ’

Safely traveling solo in Indonesia

During all five of my visits to Indonesia I have traveled solo. In some cases I even hitchhiked. I generally find Indonesians to be friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It also goes quite a long way if you learn how to say hello and thank you, especially in the local dialect for whichever island you’re on.

I feel safe in Indonesia, and it usually comes down to staying alert and listening to my intuition. Here are a few other things to keep in mind:

⁃ Stay away from locally made spirits. They’re often essentially rubbing alcohol and drinking them can have dire consequences. If you’d like to drink, I advise ordering a beer and opening it yourself or watching the bartender open it. This is good advice all around the world. ⁃ If driving a scooter, make sure the brakes work before you rent it. Go a speed you’re comfortable with and never drive while intoxicated. These three things will go a long way in helping you to avoid any incidents. ⁃ Don’t get intoxicated. Both men and women tend to run into an equal number of bad situations when overly intoxicated and especially alone, not just in Indonesia but worldwide. ⁃ The currents are strong and the waves are powerful in Indonesia. I’ve learned this the hard way myself. Make sure you understand what you’re jumping into before you go for a swim.

In general, being courteous, being respectful, and trusting your gut are all things that will keep you safe.

Tips for meeting others

The great thing about Indonesia is it attracts other solo travelers – especially if you stick to the places listed in the beginning of the article and branch out from there.

I find that the best way to meet people is through an activity like diving or surfing, or striking up conversations at popular restaurants or cafés.

There are great online resources as well. For solo female travelers, check out the BMTM Solo Female Traveler Connect on Facebook. There are lots of women heading to Indonesia who are looking for travel buddies!

Getting around

I’ve found Indonesia to be quite simple to travel through. To get around locally, I use the Uber and Grab taxi apps. When those aren’t available you can usually bargain with a motorbike driver, called an ojek, to get around.

Ferries and flights are easy too, especially if you fly with Garuda. Local airlines like Lion Air will require a local credit card so you’ll have to go through a travel agent. For ferries, you’ll probably see plenty of signs around one Island advertising the others nearby. If you’re in a less touristy area, googling your start and end destinations and ‘ferry’ will help you figure it out.

If you’re comfortable on a motorbike, or think you want to give it a try, I find it’s the easiest way to get around as a solo traveler. To me it represents ultimate freedom for a price I find agreeable. The rules of the road aren’t the same as they are back home, but you’ll get into the flow of it. Just be defensive at first and wear your helmet.

Traveling solo in Indonesia isn’t so different from traveling solo anywhere else in Southeast Asia. Thankfully it’s a part of the world that is pretty easy and very friendly to solo travelers. You’ll also see others who are on their own too, which makes it easier to meet others.

This lovely island nation has certainly captivated my heart and has me going back more and more with increasing frequency. I hope when you go there, it does the same for you!

Hi Kristin, I just left Bukit Lawang and loved it as well…third visit in three years. I agree about the people…the friend lost and smiliest people I’ve encountered! I’m in Pulau Weh now which is not too far from there. I’m saving all your Bali/Lombok posts for my next visit. As always thanks for your fantastic and helpful posts. Lisa

How is Pulau weh?! I’ve heard about it through the years from time to time. I swear most recently it was a guy in Chiang Mai who lowered his voice and said, “I shouldn’t even be telling you this, but there’s this island in Indonesia called Pulau weh…”

06/30/2018 at 10:22 pm

Hi, I think you are adding great value in people’s lives with your work. Keep it up.

07/01/2018 at 4:16 am

Thank you so much.

07/01/2018 at 1:19 am

I wish I had time to visit Indonesia while I was in southeast Asia. You make it sound so welcoming and friendly. Good tip about the local airlines wanting a local credit card, that is such a faff!

07/01/2018 at 4:15 am

Yeah it’s becoming one of my favorite places for sure. I find it to be a friendly place 🙂

Hi there, I’ve read your posts with great interest. I’m a solo female traveller in Indonesia for a month. I’m currently in Bali but looking to travel further east from here. I looked into the live-aboard trip that you recommended in a different post but it was sold out (and above my budget unfortunately) – is there any chance that you might be able to recommend an alternative? And if you were to choose one place to spend 2 weeks outside of Bali, where would you go? You’ve presented so many amazing looking places, I’m finding it hard to choose 🙂 Hope you don’t mind sharing a few more tips 🙂 Thanks Nina

07/06/2018 at 8:24 am

Do you mean the Raja Ampat or Komodo liveaboard? I think that Wicked in Komodo is probably the cheapest liveaboard I can think of in the area, if we’re talking diving. I think Lombok and the Nusa Islands are awesome and so is East Java, since you’re close to both 🙂

The Golden Rules of Solo Travel

By Olivia Morelli

The joys of traveling solo are endless. It is freeing to explore new places alone—you can go where you please, eat when you want, and enjoy quality time with yourself uninterrupted. The interest in solo travel has been slowly rising for a while, in tandem with the desire for deeper, slower, more connective trave l. For many, solo travel is the perfect way to achieve this—it provides an opportunity to trust your instinct, go with your gut, and get lost in the experience. You rely on yourself rather than on others’ whims or desires.

But, if you’re not a seasoned solo traveler, it can be a daunting prospect. In an age of constant connectivity, the idea of being alone for an extended period of time is stark. Below, we spoke to travelers who frequently book solo trips about their golden rules for traveling alone.

Dining alone isn’t weird

For most people, the thought of dining alone is one of the biggest barriers to traveling solo. But once you get past the conviction that everyone is noticing or judging you, it’s a totally freeing experience. “Dining alone isn’t as uncommon as you might imagine,” says Estée Lalonde, a creative director and influencer with a passion for solo travel. “I personally find it empowering! Sometimes I bring a book with me or watch an episode of my favorite show on Netflix with my headphones on, but other times I just enjoy the atmosphere and end up chatting to the people at the table next to me.”

Book counter dining at restaurants if it's too weird for you

If you are someone who does feel uncomfortable about dining alone, opt for a bar or counter seat. It’s much less intimidating than having a whole table to yourself, and you are more likely to end up chatting to the staff or the person sitting next to you. "The first time I went out for a meal alone, I went to JG Melon on the Upper East Side of New York City ,” Sarah James, Condé Nast Traveller ’s deputy digital editor, says. “I took a book, and nervously shuffled onto a bar stool for my burger—but ended up chatting away to the charming bartender and the women sat next to me. Now I often opt for a counter seat when eating alone, and no longer take a book with me. Either I end up talking to someone or just enjoy the peace. A general rule I live by—we're all so wrapped up in our own lives, no one is paying much attention to other people."

Consider a hostel

Not only are hostels affordable, but they're also great places to meet fellow travelers—whether they're in the same solo boat as you or not. Many have a cheap bar onsite that allows you to fall into natural conversation with compatriots who may become friends, or at least will have great tips for things to do.

Fake it till you make it

Most people feel nervous about meeting new people, and introverts especially struggle to make the first move when in a new place. But remember that everyone is in the same boat, and most solo travelers will have experienced those same emotions. The first five seconds are the hardest, but once you’ve introduced yourself, you’ll quickly realize it wasn’t as big a deal as you originally thought. You’d kick yourself if you let a bit of shyness ruin your trip, so use that as the motivation you need to approach a fellow traveler. And remember, if you present with confidence, that will show—fake it til you make it is a reliable life rule to follow.

Never consolidate all of your assets

“This is a lesson that I learned the hard way after getting pickpocketed in a crowded Jerusalem marketplace,” says global digital director Arati Menon, “I had stupidly carried all my credit cards and cash with me—luckily no passport!—in a single wallet and as a result, had no way of paying the hotel bill later that day when I checked out. Now, I always split my cards and cash (and IDs) across various places: wallet, purse, luggage—and if possible, store at least one of these in a locked safe back at the hotel.”

Don’t fear loneliness

“Remember that a bit of loneliness can be bracing and character-building,” says Toby Skinner, Condé Nast Traveller ’s features director. “My experience traveling is generally that people are decent, kind and interesting—and you found that out most acutely by being alone (whereas everyone leaves couples well alone.) Some of my most memorable travel experiences have been on my own—like when I was stranded in Nanjing at 2 a.m. by a delayed train in 2001, and a local student let me bunk in his dorm room for the night.”

Take the train

“While even the most extroverted of travelers avoid chit chat like the plague on a plane, I have found traveling by train to be a much more social means of transport," says associate editor Hannah Towey. "Last summer, I traveled solo on the Amtrak Coastal Starlight from Santa Barbara to San Francisco and spent the entirety of the 9-hour journey in the communal observation lounge, where fellow travelers rotated in and out, sharing tables and playing cards while admiring the views. As the sun set on the second half of the trip, a few musically-inclined passengers formed an impromptu band complete with an acoustic guitar and mandolin. Word slowly spread and others trickled in from other parts of the train to take turns singing songs in different languages. It might take a few more hours than a flight, but who knows, you might even find the Ethan Hawke to your Julie Delpy and spend a spontaneous evening together in Vienna.”

Plan around cultural events

Arriving at a destination just as the locals are gearing up for an important cultural event can be an incredible way to immerse yourself straight away. Look up religious festivals, bank holidays, and street parties to see what time is best to visit and plan accordingly. You’ll get a real flavor of the people, the food, and even the music, and you might end up making friends along the way.

Research solo travel in your destination

As obvious as “do your research” sounds, it’s an important step to remember. Look at online forums and speak to people who have previously visited the destination. What safety precautions should you be taking? Is it safe to walk between locations, or is it better to use taxis? Are taxis easy to find? What is the destination's culture like after dark? For women, in particular, it is best to plan ahead to avoid getting stranded in remote neighborhoods after dark.

Have a rough plan for each day

It can feel daunting waking up in a brand new destination and not knowing where to start, so make sure to create vague itineraries for your trip. What are your non-negotiables in this destination? Any big attractions you want to tick off? Restaurants you’ve been desperate to try? Beaches you’ve always wanted to visit? “I like to have 3-5 little activities in mind for each day, like visiting a particular store or trying the local cuisine,” Estée tells us. “If you have a bit of direction you can leave space in between each activity to be spontaneous and discover the local area.”

Build in group activities

Booking tours and group events is a great way to meet other travelers. Most hostels have a list of activities available for guests to sign up for, and if not, then there are walking tours or live music events at local bars. “Try to see people as opportunities," Toby advises. “I'd build in communal activities to your itinerary and remember that you’ll probably never see these people again, so you have nothing to lose in almost any interaction and possibly a lot to gain—though there might be a touch of male privilege in that.”

Walk as much as you can

“Sometimes when I travel to a new place, I can be nervous to leave my bed as a solo traveler,” Estée admits. “As soon as I get outside and start walking I feel better—like I’m part of the city and that I belong there!” Exploring by foot is a great way to get to know the bones of a destination. You’ll soon create a mental map of the area nearest your accommodation and might stumble upon some hidden gems you wouldn’t have come across otherwise.

Allow yourself to be spontaneous

On that note, try to allow yourself some spontaneity. Having a rough plan is definitely advisable, but don’t stop yourself from following your gut if you have a sudden urge to pop into a shop, follow the sound of the crowds or head for the beach. It’s often the spur-of-the-moment decisions that result in the best experiences.

Bring good books

It’s easy to whip out your phone and rely on scrolling when you’re by yourself, and while that is a great way to decompress if you’re feeling jittery, there are few things more romantic than settling in at a street-side cafe and getting lost in the pages of a good book .

Bring a journal

Journaling has become a popular pastime of late, and keeping a travel journal is a great way to combine the mental health benefits of getting out your thoughts and feelings with the memories and emotions of traveling solo. “I find all of that time alone enables me to clear my head, and journaling is a great way to regulate those emotions,” Estée explains.

Keep a separate copy of your personal details

Sounds old school, but in lieu of printing out paper copies of all your bank details, phone numbers, and accommodations details, try keeping a document of all your information and emailing it to yourself. This way, if you lose your phone, you can ask the reception of your accommodation or staff at a hotel/restaurant/bar to borrow a phone and log into your email account to access anything you need. It’s also worth memorizing your card details and any emergency phone numbers (both personal and local emergency service numbers).

Take other safety precautions

There are plenty of ways to protect yourself when traveling alone. Sharing your location with your friends and family back home is a lovely way to keep in touch without having to actually message them—they can watch your journey from afar and keep track of your whereabouts if you haven’t contacted them for a while. Remember to bring a padlock for your backpack and lockers if you’re staying in hostels, and study basic phrases in the language of your destination, just in case you get lost and need some help.

Don’t forget insurance

There’s always something that doesn’t go to plan on any trip, and as a solo traveler, you’ll want to make sure you mitigate any stress that comes from changing itineraries. Buying travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself from any transport cancellations and unforeseen circumstances, and will cover any costs from injuries or thefts. Sounds scary, but it’ll be worth it if the worst happens!

I've Traveled Alone to 65 Countries – Here Are My Top 5 Destinations for Flying Solo

Where to find adventure, group activities, affordable luxury hotels, and total relaxation as a solo traveler.

Katie Jackson/Travel + Leisure

Lewis may have needed Clark, but for most trips, I think it’s OK to be a party of one. In fact, my favorite style of travel, # solotravel , is now trending on TikTok and in real life. But if there’s anything I’ve learned from adventuring alone in 65 countries, it’s this: some countries cater to lone wolves better than others. Whether you’re looking to lay on the beach, climb a volcano, or explore the big city, here are my top five destinations for flying solo. 

Giacomo Augugliaro/Getty Images

Western Europe’s most affordable country, Portugal has been my second home since 2016. Whether in Alentejo or the Algarve, I can always find a €2 glass of wine and five-star hotels, including IHG’s new Vignette Collection properties in Porto and Lisbon , for under €200 per night. It’s the fifth safest country in Europe, according to the Institute for Economics & Peace 2023 Global Peace Index (for comparison, Spain ranked 23rd and France 34th) and is home to the world’s largest standing wave. Since surfing solo is dangerous, I go with Onda Pura . In Lisbon , visit the Oceanário , voted the world’s best aquarium . Alone, you can linger at exhibits for as long as you want. I’ve traveled the country by train and bus, but I recommend renting a car for as little as €25 per day. Pro tip: Learn how to drive manual first.

South Africa

Katie Jackson/Travel + Leisure

While it’s not the safest country on the Mother Continent, ranking 32nd in Sub-Saharan Africa in the Global Peace Index , South Africa is the easiest for Americans to visit. United Airlines offers nonstop service from multiple U.S. cities to Cape Town, English is widely spoken, and there are restaurants catering to every diet. I use Facebook to join group hikes and dinners and Airbnb to book guided, local experiences. I recommend doing the “From Prisoner to President Tour” hosted by Nelson Mandela’s former prison guard and friend, Christo Brand . To visit the wineries, take the Franschhoek Tram . I’ve also enjoyed solo safaris. Alone, you can choose your start time (I hate waking up at 5:30 a.m. for game drives), and you always have the best seat. During low season, some lodges waive the single supplement. Year-round, the new Loapi Tented Camp only charges solo travelers 62% of what it would charge a couple. For travel within the country, book a package with a company like Kensington Tours ; it includes all transfers.

Since I lived in Nicaragua, I have an impressive collection of passport stamps from Costa Rica . It’s the safest place in Central America , and it offers everything from volcano trekking to beach hopping on two incredible coastlines. I want to check out the new SP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge , which hosts wellness retreats and is part of the Red Sofia Program (designed to make travel safer for single women). Meanwhile, in Monteverde, solo travelers can’t go wrong at Hotel Belmar where you don’t have to venture off site for adventure (book the canopy immersion and coffee tasting). For an all-inclusive, I recommend Secrets Papagayo .  It’s not the place to stay if you don't want to be around couples, but it’s adults-only and hosts theme nights, beach games, and cocktail parties where singles can mingle.

FilippoBacci/Getty Images

Good news! You don’t need to be with a romantic partner to visit the Maldives . I solo-mooned there and had a blast falling back in love with me, myself, and I. Highlights include visiting Coco Palm Dhuni Kohlu’s turtle rescue center , reading by my plunge pool (“Eat, Pray, Love” is a must for solo travelers), and when I wanted company, hitting up the beach barbecues. You also don’t have to be a millionaire. The island of Maafushi caters to backpackers, and even at a resort, I stayed under $350 per day. Have a bigger budget? Consider booking the Gili Solo Experience . Boasting an underwater suite and restaurant, the Conrad Maldives is also on my list. For flights, try Emirates ; round-trip fares from New York's JFK to Malé start at $1,265.

Not having anyone to split expenses with, domestic travel is cheapest. I explore my backyard in Montana where I staycate at Lone Mountain Ranch . With its queen bed, the Meadowlark Cabin is ideal for one, and the group activities offer opportunities to socialize. For an urban escape, I prefer New York City , where I stay at NH Collection New York Madison Avenue . Its lobby has a community table, fireplaces, and live jazz most nights. Since there’s no shame in doing the Great White Way without a date, I went to see “ The Notebook ” in April. Finding one center orchestra seat is easier than finding seats together. For getting around, use the MTA’s new OMNY credit/debit card tap program ; it’s the best value.

How To Avoid Single Supplements 

Book your solo cruise with aaa.

With plenty of ways to mingle with other passengers (or enjoy some quality alone time), going on a cruise alone is the perfect getaway for solo and single travelers .

However, you’ll need to do your research before booking since cruising solo can get expensive. Some cruise lines charge single supplements, which means you'll pay extra when traveling alone and staying in a room that's usually meant for two people.

Luckily, as solo cruising has become more popular, certain cruise lines have started to cater to the needs of guests traveling alone and even offer cabins specifically designed for solo cruisers. 

Read on to discover the best cruise lines for solo travelers. 

1. Holland America Cruise Line

Single cabins: Yes

Solo travel perks: Single Partners Program

AAA Member Benefit: 

• $50 onboard spending credit per person

AAA Vacations ® Benefit:

• 50 Denali Dollars per person on Alaska cruises for Verandah staterooms and above

Known for having some of the best customer service in the industry, it should come as no surprise that Holland America Line is dedicated to providing an exceptional experience to solo travelers onboard their fleet of ships. 

The line’s newest ships—Rotterdam, Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam—have 12 single staterooms perfect for solo travelers. Each of these rooms is approximately 127-172 square feet and equipped with full-size and modern amenities. Plus, every single cabin boasts an ocean view, so you can enjoy the scenery during your voyage. 

Holland America Line also does a great job at creating an atmosphere of camaraderie on their ships. The Single Partners Program, offered on most voyages, puts on activities, cocktail parties and mixers for singles and solo travelers to mingle during the cruise. Whether you enjoy exercise classes, wine tastings or trivia, you’re sure to meet other travelers with similar interests through this program. 

2. Silversea Cruise Line

Single cabins: No

Solo travel perks : Low single supplements 

AAA Member Benefit:

• Up to $300 per person in onboard credit on select voyages

Smaller cruise lines are great for solo travelers since you’ll see familiar faces throughout your journey, which can make it easier to strike up conversations and form connections with fellow travelers. 

One of the best small cruise lines for solo travelers is Silversea Cruise Line. While they don’t offer single cabins, they have extremely low single supplements of just 25 percent on certain voyages. For reference, most cruise lines have single supplements that are 50 percent to 100 percent of the fare, so Silversea’s rate is very affordable in comparison. 

At the beginning of your voyage, there will be a champagne Welcome Reception which serves as the perfect opportunity to mingle with other solo travelers. During certain journeys, Gentlemen Hosts will be available aboard to welcome solo guests.

3. Royal Caribbean

Studio staterooms are available on the following ships in their fleet: 

• Anthem of the Seas
• Brilliance of the Seas

• Harmony of the Seas 
• Spectrum of the Seas

Azamara provides special rates for solo travelers as low as 25-50 percent off stateroom fares. Additionally, they offer thoughtfully created activities and gatherings for solo travelers to socialize with each other onboard. 

5. Cunard Cruise Line

Solo travel perks : Group dining, coffee chats and cocktail parties for solo travelers

• Onboard credit for all voyages that are 7 nights and longer 

Cunard is among the best luxury cruise lines , and it’s a great option for solo travelers looking for upscale service, socialization opportunities and elegant staterooms. The cruise line offers single staterooms aboard their Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth ships. During your time aboard, you’ll enjoy 24-hour room service, luxury toiletries and a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. 

The cruise line is also known for its delicious culinary options and for going out of the way to ensure solo travelers have an enjoyable dining experience.

6. Viking River Cruises

• $100 per person shipboard credit for cruises 8-11 days

If you’re looking to embark on a solo river cruise in Europe , look no further than Viking River Cruises. The cruise line is known for its immersive journeys sailing through the world’s greatest rivers while offering world-class accommodation, incredible customer service and unique cultural events along the way. 

While Viking doesn’t have single cabins, they will occasionally offer special solo traveler fares. Plus, you can check for other discounts available for the cruises you’re interested in to save money on your travels.  

7. Seabourn Cruise Line

Solo travel perks : Special offers for solo travelers on select voyages 

• Singles receive $150 per suite onboarding spending credit on select sailings 

AAA Vacations® Benefit:

• $200 per suite onboard spending credit on select sailings

With solo staterooms available aboard the Vista, Regatta, Insignia, Nautica and Sirena ships, you don’t have to worry about solo supplements driving the price up. The accommodations feature private verandas or ocean-view windows as well as many amenities to keep you comfortable during your voyage. 

9. Celebrity Cruises

Solo travel perks : Hosted social events

• Onboard credit based on the stateroom category booked

Celebrity Cruises is another popular cruise line for solo travelers, offering social events to help solo cruisers make new friends. Known for its inclusivity, Celebrity Cruises is also one of the most LGBTQ-friendly cruise lines in the industry. Their itineraries, such as their Bali, Malaysia and Thailand itineraries, are some of the best cruises for solo travelers looking for excitement and adventure. 

Celebrity’s solo cruise cabins are available on the Celebrity Edge®, Celebrity Apex®, Celebrity Beyond℠ and Celebrity Ascent℠ ships. Solo travelers can choose between an ocean-view room with a veranda and an inside stateroom. All of the solo rooms come with the same products and services as the regular staterooms. 

The easiest way to avoid single supplements is to opt for a cruise line that offers solo cabins. However, if your heart is set on a cruise line or ship that doesn’t have this perk, consider looking out for specials that waive or discount single supplements. You can also try using a roommate matching program that some cruise lines offer, which pairs you in a room with another solo traveler. 

Whether you're looking to book a quick getaway or an around-the-world cruise , embarking on a solo cruise is a rewarding experience offering adventure, relaxation and the freedom to cater your journey around your preferences. Not to mention, you can partake in the many things to do on a cruise and make life-long friends along the way.  

Book your solo cruises with AAA Travel and ensure you’ll have peace of mind during your once-in-a-lifetime trip. With your AAA Membership , you'll receive exclusive deals, onboard spending credits and other perks.

Another summer is almost here, and millions of Americans are getting excited for peak vacation season. In fact, they’ve been thinking about their 2024 trips and getaways since the beginning of the year when we teamed up with Talker Research to survey 1,000 Americans about their travel plans.

Not only did we uncover the most popular travel destinations (beaches rule, no surprise there), we also gained insights into the way Americans are planning their getaways, the type of accommodations they’re most interested in and how they’re going to get there. We also learned about Americans’ biggest travel fears and have some tips to avoid the most dreaded vacation disasters.

Read on to learn more about this year’s travel trends, along with tips on how to plan and pay for your next vacation.

Key findings

• Americans take 2.5 vacations per year.
• The average vacation in America costs $1,742.90.
• 30% of Americans plan to travel internationally in 2024.
• Beaches top the list of desired trips, with 62% of Americans saying they target beaches when planning vacations.
• To help defray the expense, 53% of Americans have used or plan to use their rewards from credit card rewards or travel loyalty programs to reduce their out-of-pocket costs for airfare and hotel expenses.

Expensive vacations don’t deter American travelers

There’s no such thing as a cheap vacation for most Americans. The average traveler spends $1,742.90 per vacation. Still, nearly half of respondents said they spend less than $1,500 on their trips, while 1 in 10 said they spend more than $3,500.

Vacation costs aren’t deterring most people from hitting the road, though. In fact, Americans travel an average of 2.9 times per year and most often they travel for leisure. Millennials are the group packing their bags most often, with an average of 3.4 getaways per year. 

The sweet spot for more than half of Americans is one to two times per year, while almost a third get away three to four times. One in 10 Americans leave town up to six times a year.

Almost two-thirds of Americans want to hit the beach

Most Americans love to spend their vacation time doing outdoorsy and cultural things, but nothing beats sun and sand. The most popular destination by far was the beach, with almost two-thirds (62%) of survey respondents naming it a preferred destination. Luckily, there is no lack of options when it comes to catching some waves and rays, with over 6,100 beaches along U.S. coasts.

Cities and cultural or historical locations were tied for second place, with 44% of respondents listing one of these among their preferred destinations. Visiting one of America’s 63 officially recognized national parks was just the ticket for 42% of respondents, while 40% said they wanted to see mountains. 

Over a third (39%) of survey respondents have their sights set on famous landmarks, such as Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty or the National Mall in D.C. Ultimate relaxation is on the horizon for the 30% of people looking to go on cruises this year and 29% who want the effortless luxury of an all-inclusive resort. 

With so many destinations across the country high on people’s agenda this year, it’s surprising that three in 10 travelers also plan to leave the U.S. and travel internationally in 2024. 

Travelers prefer hotels over private rentals

As for where Americans like to rest after their daily vacation adventures, home is where the room service is. Hotels, condos and resorts are a favorite among 78% of travelers who would choose them as a preferred lodging. Not only is there no bed-making or towel-washing required, but the average daily rate of staying in a hotel is still reasonable at $151.13, according to the most recent data from STR , a real estate data research and analytics company.

For travelers who like to vacation like a local or for larger groups that would find booking multiple hotel rooms uneconomical, renting a private property can be a better choice. There is no shortage of rental home options in the U.S. for the 44% of respondents who cited renting a homeshare or house as a regular choice. There were over 2.4 million vacation rental listings in 2023 with an overall daily rate of $308 according to data from AirDNA .

Of course, rather than paying for a place to rest your head, staying with family and friends is another option while traveling and a great way to save a few bucks. Forty-one percent of travelers listed this as one of their preferred accommodations. 

Camping and staying in hostels were less popular choices: 22% of survey respondents are prepared to pitch a tent on vacation, while just 11% of respondents would opt for a hostel. Few Americans are interested in leaving their house to take care of someone else’s, with house sitting only a preferred accommodation for 5% of people surveyed.

Americans’ biggest travel fear is the weather

Vacation planning is not without worry. With so much time and money invested to make every trip magical and Instagram-worthy, it’s only natural to have a few travel fears. Americans’ biggest travel fear is the weather, with 58% of respondents worried about inclement weather interrupting or ruining travel plans. Given that so many vacation activities are related to being outside, it’s a legit concern.

The second biggest concern is getting sick (44%) followed by fear of disappointment in the destination itself (30%). Many travelers are also worried about safety, including crime rates in the destination (28%), getting scammed (26%) and getting robbed (25%). 

The remaining fears are things that can be mitigated by taking advantage of travel protections offered by some travel credit cards and travel insurance . These include losing luggage (28%) — some credit cards will reimburse you for lost luggage or even baggage delays. Another is being late or missing travel accommodations (26%) — trip interruption insurance is another coverage that some credit cards offer.

Planes, trains or automobiles?

Most Americans like to go wheels up for their trips, with 47% choosing travel by plane as their preferred transportation method. According to the Bureau of Transportation, the average fare for a domestic flight in the U.S. (as of Q4 2023) was $384.85. This means that airfare alone can take up a good portion of a vacation budget.

As such, it’s no surprise that road trips — or travel by car — were nearly as popular, chosen by 44% of respondents. Even with average gas prices at $3.60 per gallon (as of May 2024), piling into the family car can be a cost effective way to get to your destination. 

Train travel was a distant third, with just 3% of people reporting they prefer to travel by rail.

Vacation planning habits revealed

One-third of Americans take nearly three weeks (2.9) to plan their trips, with about one-fifth booking almost five weeks (4.9) in advance. As part of their research in deciding where to go and what to do, 43% of people lean heavily on recommendations from friends and family.

A significant number of trip planners (32%) rely on online reviews, while fewer than 1 in 5 (19%) use a travel agent. Social media is also a source of travel inspiration with respondents turning to YouTube (17%), Instagram (9%), Facebook groups (8%) and TikTok (6%). Reading travel advice from travel blogs (15%), articles (13%) and magazines (10%) is also a significant part of the planning process.

As for what people consider the most important factors when planning a trip, 55% of people selected local food and drinks, while 54% value the best financial deal. Outdoor activities (46%) and cultural experiences (39%) were also high-ranking choices, while 35% of respondents build their trips around bucket list locations.

Solo travel vs. group travel

The majority of Americans prefer to travel for leisure with their significant other (41%) or immediate family (28%). But traveling solo is a preference for 15% of respondents.

Group travel is less popular, with just 10% of Americans saying they prefer travel with a small group. 

People who travel solo generally spend less time planning than those with travel companions (2.6 weeks vs. 2.9 weeks). They also book their trip an average of 4 weeks before compared to 5.1 weeks for couple/family travelers.

Preferred travel accommodations vary between solo and group travelers as well, with single people more likely to stay with family or friends:

Who Americans travel with affects more than just where they stay — it also influences how they get there. Single travelers are less inclined to drive by themselves, whereas going by car is often a money-saving option for groups.

Not surprisingly, solo travelers spend less per trip, though not that much less: $1,433.30 on average vs. $1,843.90 spent by couples and families.

How Americans use their travel rewards credit cards while traveling

Considering that 54% of travelers said finding the best financial deal has the biggest impact on their travel plans, using travel rewards credit cards strategically can play a big role. Leveraging the best travel credit cards can enhance the way you travel, provide insurance and protection, and help you save on the total cost of your trip. In fact, 53% of people said they have used or plan to use a credit card or travel rewards to reduce the cost of their trips.

Bolstering these findings, the Barclays 2024 Travel Rewards and Loyalty Report, which features data from a survey of 1,000 U.S. adult travelers by Wakefield Research, found that rewards programs will make all the difference when it comes to planning personal travel. The report found that personal travel is top of mind for many consumers this year and rewards programs will make all the difference.

“For the second year in a row, we found that U.S. travelers continue to highly value rewards points and loyalty programs,” said Doug Villone, head of cards and partnerships at Barclays US Consumer Bank. “Without rewards, 77% of travelers indicated they would have to make some sacrifices in how they travel. Many said they would need to give up comfort, as a third (33%) would have to downgrade their accommodations, and 28% would have to drive or take less convenient travel options.”

However, just 32% of Americans actually have a travel credit card as of the USA TODAY Blueprint-Talker Research survey date. Interestingly, men are significantly more likely to have a travel rewards card (39%) than women (25%). Men are also more likely to redeem travel rewards to defray the cost of travel (59%) than women (47%).

Tips for maximizing your credit card for your next trip

Here are some ways to maximize travel rewards credit cards:

• Kickstart your rewards balance with a welcome offer. Earning a sizable welcome offer on a new travel rewards card can be a great way to get a pile of points or miles to put toward your next vacation, especially if you redeem them for outsize value through the issuer’s travel portal.
• Choose a card that matches your spending style. Select a card that offers the highest rewards for the things you spend most on, whether it’s gas, groceries, dining or travel, or an elevated flat-rate across all spending.
• Don’t overspend to earn rewards. The key with rewards cards is paying off the balance in full each month so that you’re not paying interest. Once you revolve a balance, you are taking away from the rewards you earn. 
• Decide if the cost of a premium travel card is worth it for you. If you’re new to credit card rewards, a no-annual-fee travel card can offer good value. If you’re a frequent traveler with good credit habits, travel cards with annual fees offer higher levels of rewards and benefits.
• Consider airline or hotel cards only if you’re loyal to one brand. Cobranded airline credit cards and hotel cards help you earn points or miles tied to a specific airline or hotel chain’s loyalty programs. You may also get perks like in-flight discounts, free checked bags, late check-out and more. But if you prefer flexible redemption options, stick with a general rewards card.
• Ensure you don’t have foreign transaction fees. If you’re traveling abroad, leave credit cards with foreign transaction fees at home and only bring cards that won’t charge you extra for overseas spending.
• Understand the card benefits. Many travel cards offer protections like trip cancellation/interruption insurance, lost baggage coverage and travel accident insurance. This can help provide peace of mind and remove some of those common travel fears. In addition, some cards may offer a fee credit for TSA PreCheck and Global Entry .

New Citi Strata Premier Card layers on the perks, replaces the Citi Premier Card

I went on one date with a man, and then we decided to travel together indefinitely. It's not as romantic as it seems.

• While traveling full time, I joined a dating app and went on a date; we fell for each other.
• Since we have similar values, we decided to travel together indefinitely. 
• It's been difficult at times, and our future is uncertain, but it's the perfect life for us.

Last year, I finally fulfilled my dream of traveling full time when I got a job aboard a cruise ship. I was loving every moment of my nomadic life. I was too busy enjoying myself to worry about a relationship.

But in my second year of the job and third year of being single, I joined the Nomad Soulmates dating app . I wasn't necessarily looking for my soulmate because travel was my priority for most of my life. But at 32, I knew I had to make a proactive choice to prioritize relationships and dating.

In April 2023, I disembarked the ship in Lisbon and tried out the app. I was skeptical it would lead anywhere because I only had two months off the ship before I had to head to Norway to join my next contract. Plus, I had already scheduled my travel plans for the next two months.

But then I matched with someone that made me rethink everything.

We had an instant connection

I matched with a man who was in Lisbon for the month. He asked me out for Greek food, and I figured it was worth a try. Once again, I didn't imagine it would go anywhere because I planned to stay for only a week before heading to Porto for the weekend and then off to Spain for the next leg of my trip .

But our date ended up being so much fun that I was interested in seeing where it could go. He was silly, and that was refreshing. We shared many of the same values and loved traveling, so the conversation never lagged.

I surprised myself when I invited him to stay with me for a few nights in Porto. During our visit to Porto, I canceled my trip to Spain and accepted his invitation to return to Lisbon with him, beginning our partnership.

We decided to keep traveling together

I had to choose between my travel plans and my partner . Having been a solo traveler, giving up my travel plans for something that might not work out wasn't a decision I took lightly.

But I wanted to take a chance as we found ourselves on the same page about everything — especially what we were looking for in a long-term relationship and what we wanted in the future. I never saw myself returning to the US; I wanted to return to Italy or continue traveling full time with my future partner and kids. He also had no plans on returning to his home country of Germany and, having been traveling full time since 2018, was uninterested in stopping. He also wants children and plans to travel with them full time.

I saw that we were on the same page regarding how we wanted to incorporate parenting, traveling, and our careers, so we decided to continue traveling together — which was a decision we made exceptionally quickly.

I was fearful at the beginning of our relationship because I heard horror stories from friends about traveling with partners they just met. Luckily, being seasoned travelers , we face inconveniences quite similarly and calmly. Within the last year, we've dealt with being separated for months at a time and spending every second together for months at a time. We've also experienced missed flights, scooter accidents, cockroach infestations, and a lack of necessities such as hot water. It's not all romance and dreamy vacations.

Like so many other relationships I've had, I thought each new inconvenience would fracture our relationship, causing us to decide that maybe this wasn't the right partnership for us. But it all had the opposite effect, building the foundation of our relationship as we moved into the second year of traveling full time together.

Bound by wanderlust , we aren't sure what our futures hold, but we'll sculpt it with our shared dreams.

BYD’s New PHEV Models Can Travel Over 1,300 Miles Without Stopping

The two new models can also travel up to 74 miles (120 km) on electric power alone

by Brad Anderson

• The firm’s latest plug-in hybrid includes an ultra-efficient 1.5-liter petrol engine and two available electric motors.
• BYD says its new engine has a thermal efficiency of 46.06%, the highest of any production car.
• Prices for the Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i start at just $13,750.

BYD has launched its fifth-generation plug-in hybrid powertrain in China , which allows a vehicle to travel 1,304 miles (2,100 km) without stopping.

The carmaker’s new DM (Dual Mode) system premiered in the Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i. It combines a 1.5-liter petrol engine with 99 hp (74 kW) and 93 lb-ft (126 Nm) of torque, with either a 161 hp / 155 lb-ft (120 kW / 210 Nm) electric motor or a 215 hp / 192 lb-ft (160 kW / 260 Nm) motor, depending on specification. The system is also sold with 10.08 kWh and 15.78 kWh battery packs and also features a more traditional 12-volt lithium-iron phosphate battery.

The new 1.5-liter engine at the heart of the new plug-in hybrid powertrain has a thermal efficiency of 46.06%, which BYD says makes it the most thermally efficient combustion engine of any production car. It features plenty of trick tech to achieve this efficiency, including what the company describes as intelligent combustion, variable lubrication, and split cooling systems.

Prior to this, Toyota is thought to have had the most thermally efficient production engine at roughly 41%. This means that 41% of the work being done by the engine is converted into power while the remaining 59% is lost as heat. Ultra-efficient Formula 1 engines operate at around 50% thermal efficiency.

Improvements have also been made to the Blade battery packs offered. The carmaker says the battery offers 15.5% more energy density. AC charging has also been upgraded from 3.3 kW to 6.6 kW, and on a DC charger, the system can charge from 30-80% in 21 minutes.

The result of all the improvements to BYD ‘s new plug-in hybrid powertrain translates into a fuel economy of just 2.9 l/100 km (124 U.S. MPG) and a driving range of over 1,300 miles (2,100 km) without needing to refuel or recharge. Models with the 10.08 kWh battery can travel 50 miles (80 km) on electric power, while those with the 15.78 kWh battery have an electric range of 74 miles (120 km).

Remarkably, the Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i, featuring this new plug-in powertrain, don’t break the bank. Prices for the new Qin L DM-i and the Seal 06 DM-i start at just 99,800 yuan (~$13,750) and top out at 139,800 yuan (~$19,300).
