The desire to be self-reliant and the yearning to travel the unknown by oneself is a goal of every person. The idea of traversing through a town unaccompanied by others gives us a sense of privilege and autonomy in our own lives. Solo-travelling can be scary but it leaves you with an enormous amount of courage and ascendancy. Establishing a good time bachelor needs a great blend of landscape, things to do and as one would expect, a great nightlife. The world is your oyster but where do you begin? Fellow solo traveler and my dear “yet to get married’s”, here are a few suggestions to roam the corners of the world where you feel alive and nature embraces you.
Goa
Apart from the serenity of beaches, Goa is a great tourist destination, especially for the Bachelor’s and of course one of the most visited tourist destinations of the nation. It is widely known as India’s party district up to 7,000 bars across the state to choose from, and plenty of cheap alcohol. It is known for its pristine beaches. The best coastal retreat you can provide yourself with sights of shining sands and blue waters with a sparkling sun in the backdrop. And, if you’re a Bollywood fan, then you should give it a spin. A lush green scenery borders the golden coastline although it is the smallest state in the country, but the best place to dive in as a solo traveler before you get hitched.
Las Vegas
People often call this city a “Sin City” as it is a paradise for guilty pleasures and unabridged amusement.

If you like partying, MGM Grand Hotel’s seven-acre pool complex will make you indulge in ice-cold beverages while sitting at a 95-foot (28.96 m) marble-topped bar. As the night draws in, the strip buzzes with exhilaration. The city has parties going on everywhere so you need to get out of your comfort zone and it’ll be worth your while to meet new people effortlessly.

It is also a surfer’s paradise with a playful soul to it, so if you are a surfing enthusiast, or have been thinking of picking it up, Siargao is perfect. The island’s popularity is growing rapidly, but the atmosphere remains laidback and relaxing and a perfect place to meet others as to be by yourself. A calming retreat on the water’s edge is all you need when you’re bone-tired.
