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. Pack your bags, follow your instincts, and let the wonders of the United States unveil themselves to you in their full splendour.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
