Safe countries for a solo female traveler?

[Jacqueline]

Hey there! I’m a 29 F and really want to give solo travelling a shot. My friends can’t join me at the moment, but I don’t want that to stop me from seeing the world!

Which countries are the best for a solo female traveller? I’m pretty good at finding my way around and I’m flexible when it comes to commuting, walking, and exploring.

Thanks for any recommendations 🙂
