Four Best Places for Travelling Alone

許小淼

Travelling alone can be more interesting than travelling with someone else. You can decide what you want to do and change your mind as often as you want. If you aren't sure where to go， read my list of the four best places to travel alone.

A big part of Australian culture is solo （單獨的） travel. You can easily get around Australia. The Australian cities are quite safe and there are many things to do， especially in Sydney. You can visit the Opera House， take a boat trip across the harbour， climb the bridge or just relax on the beach.

Iceland has a great culture and beautiful landscapes （風景）. It's a perfect destination （目的地） for a single traveler. Try to plan your visit to concur （一致） with the northern lights for a really special experience and try the geothermal （地熱的） bath with natural hot water in the centre of snow.

Costa Rica is one of the best places for the adventurous （愛冒險的） single travelers. There are rainforests to explore， volcanoes （火山） to climb， and a few most wonderful beaches on the Earth. You can also take a zip line ride through the jungle， try out kayaking （劃獨木舟） on the rivers.

Amsterdam is a very walkable city and there is a wonderful biking culture. Tour the city's numerous canals （運河） and historic canal houses on a canal cruise （運河游船） or on foot， and make sure to visit the Rijks Museum， the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum. The best time to go to Amsterdam is on Queen's Day when the city turns into a big party.
