Why Choose Solo Travel in the United States?

Embarking on a solo journey means immersive experiences where you dictate the pace, the destinations, and the activities. The United States, with its well-paved roads and reliable public transportation, makes planning these excursions seamless. For women, solo travel for women to United States is both empowering and increasingly secure, with communities and services gradually adapting to the needs of individual travellers.

Diverse Landscapes and Iconic Cities

Whether your spirit yearns for towering skyscrapers or majestic mountains, the United States has an enchanting array of options. Start your adventure in New York City—a vibrant metropolis bustling with art, culture, and iconic landmarks. Discover hidden cafés in Brooklyn, explore the serene paths of Central Park, or catch a breathtaking performance on Broadway.

For those inclined towards natural wonders, solo travel to the United States wouldn’t be complete without the national parks. Witness the grandiose vistas of the Grand Canyon, the geothermal marvels of Yellowstone, or the ethereal beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Each park offers unique trails and landscapes, perfect for some reflective me-time.

Cultural Encounters

One of the highlights of travelling solo is the ability to engage intimately with local cultures. Dive into New Orleans' rich tapestry of music, food, and history. Join a jazz parade, savour the spicy delight of gumbo, or lose yourself in an art gallery in the historic French Quarter.

Heading to California, immerse yourself in the vibrant street scenes of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Experience the diversity of communities, from the Latino culture in East LA to the tech-savvy vibes of Silicon Valley. Don’t miss the chance to visit museums, local markets, and artisan cafés—all havens for solo exploration.

The Freedom to Explore

United States vacations for the solo traveller mean indulging in spontaneous adventures. With reliable Wi-Fi almost everywhere, you can easily plan your next step while sipping a latte in a quaint Seattle bookstore. Each state's unique charm invites curiosity and flexibility in your travel plans.

Practical Tips for Solo Travellers

  • Stay Connected: Download essential apps such as maps, translation tools, and local emergency contact information to ensure a smooth journey.
  • Luggage Control: Pack light! A manageable backpack makes it easy to hop on public transport or fit your belongings snugly in the overhead compartment of a bus or train.
  • Accommodation Choices: Opt for well-reviewed hostels or boutique hotels. Many offer social events or common areas where making new friends is easy and comfortable.
  • Local Etiquette: Research cultural norms and local practices beforehand to blend in confidently and respectfully in different settings.

Solo travel for women to the United States is not just a journey; it’s a path to self-discovery enriched by diverse landscapes, cultures, and communities. Reflect on your adventures as you traverse this vast nation, knowing that each step taken on your own opens up new horizons and deeper insights into the world around you.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
