7. Release Your Inner Goddess
The Mediterranean island of Malta boasts the world’s greatest concentration of historic sites, among them temples devoted to a Neolithic fertility goddess that pre-date the Pyramids by 1000 years. The tourist infrastructure, however, is thoroughly modern because Malta is very popular with European vacationers. Accommodations are available in every price range and, after long years of British rule, English is widely spoken.
8. Be in BA
Okay, so it takes two to tango … but safe, sensuous Buenos Aires has a lot more to offer. In Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital, you can celebrate girl power by following in Evita’s footsteps—take an urban hike through the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve or simply buy souvenirs at bargain prices. In fact, everything here is a bargain: after all, you can bed down in five-star luxury for $125 a night and dine at top-rated eateries for under $30.
9. Get High
The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan might sound too extreme for a lady alone. Sure it has camera-ready cliff-top monasteries, Shangri-la-like valleys, and a rich Buddhist culture. But visiting involves cutting though a fair amount of red tape. Luckily, Adventure Women comes to the rescue with an all-inclusive Humanitour that combines cultural and humanitarian activities. The twelve-day trip? $6295. The envy-inducing experience? Priceless!
10. Make the World Your Oyster
The fact is that singles can go pretty much anywhere that doubles or triples can: it’s just that a safety net is sometimes needed. That’s where a reputable company like G.A.P Adventures comes in. Known for being “solo friendly,” it runs reasonably-priced small group adventure tours in an A-to-Z of destinations (think everywhere from Antarctica to Zambia), the majority of which charge no single supplement.
