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.

As a travel agent, it was very easy to work with Goway. They were very responsive, especially Osvaldo Gonzalez, even when the client wanted to make in-destination changes a day or two prior. My clients absolutely enjoyed everything about their trip to Costa Rica - they specifically mentioned that all the drivers and guides they had were excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Goway again for a custom trip to Costa Rica. Shawna Woods Roy

We, three couples, all enjoyed our time in Peru, despite the small amount of time we had, and the fact one person had injury while on the cruise prior to arriving in Lima. We did want to experience Machu Picchu without spending as many days as others usually do, since we had been traveling prior to that already. Kajal at Goway was able to tailor a well packed three-day private tour for our small group of six. Every detail, from the moment we got off the cruise ship, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu, and back to Lima airport hotel, was well taken care of. Kajal was very efficient in helping with the requested itinerary, and in staying on desired budget, as well answered all questions in timely fashion. We were able to accomplish what we were not sure if possible, all thanks to Kajal at Goway. Our experience in Peru was very positive. We felt the tours organized by Goway had enabled us to have great and impressive exposure to Peruvian culture and important historical sights - all 31 hours in 3 days!!! Condor Travel in Peru took care of us every step of the way. Every person we came across was very courteous, willing, and helpful. Help was always there and questions answered quickly via Whatsapp. All in all a great and positive experience we would highly recommend.KM

I want to personally thank my Travel Agent Alice Teramoto who organized two spectacular trips for me! One to Australia and most recently Vietnam and Cambodia. She nailed it! I can’t express my gratitude enough! Both trips were flawless and hassle free! Every experience exceeded my expectations! I spent my 60th Birthday in Vietnam on the Lunar New Year which was a complete thrill! I highly recommend Alice and will definitely book with her again soon! Thanks so much Alice ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Avril

Mary G. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I partner with Goway often for Europe and typically have my go to rep, so stepping outside of that for a New Zealand itinerary had me a little unsure at first. That hesitation quickly disappeared. Mary stepped in with confidence, handled all of my moving pieces with ease, and truly understood the level of detail I needed to take care of my clients. She delivered a beautifully curated itinerary that exceeded expectations, and most importantly, my clients had an incredible experience in New Zealand. I’m so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to working together again.Nichole Pierce

Joanna was amazing!!! She was able to set up a ten day trip for me in Sydney in a matter of a couple of weeks. All accommodation and tours were amazing and the 24 hour help center was great and where able to call up the tour company and have them come and still pick be up when I had a mixup with the reservation. Would definitely recommend Goway to any friends and family and will definitely be using them again.Erica Wolff

I cannot sing Erin’s praises enough! She planned an action-packed two-week New Zealand itinerary that hit every single stop on our bucket list. Every experience was truly first-class and luxurious. While I found myself being price-conscious initially, once I saw the incredible quality of the experiences she curated, I knew it was going to be the trip of a lifetime. A huge thank you to Erin and Go Way Travel for making my 50th birthday so epic. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our next big adventure!Michelle

This was my second time working with Taha Colombowala, Group Specialist. Our journey to Ghana was top notch! 🇬🇭 The accommodations, curated tours, and coordination with the team on the ground made the this trip quite amazing. Taha was very supportive throughout the entire process. Goway makes me look like a superstar with my clients!! I am already planning new itineraries. Denise Watkins

I booked this trip to Adelaide with Goway, after using them before when we explored the 'big' sites of Australia. This time, we went to Adelaide to go to three of the top wine growing areas for wine tastings. We were a small group of 4 people. It was made better as the vendor used Small Batch Wine Tours for all of our excursions. They were fantastic making us the only travelers on these tours. Matthew, the owner, even adjusted our wineries on the last day to go to different place. This place totally marked off everything we were looking for in wine. Ended up buying a couple of bottles. Between Goway setting it up and Small Batch Wine Tours running the actual tours we had a beautiful and seamless trip. not applicable
