If you need an additional motive, Iceland is the safest country on Earth.

Ylläs, Finland

Lapland, Finland, in January, is a different kind of vacation. It can be extremely cold, 30° below zero, and the air is very crisp. Furthermore, the Sun is barely present on the horizon, and it creates a weird combination of a sunset and a sunrise. The locals are welcoming, and make sure to go snowmobiling and snowshoeing with them. Ski bars, husky safaris, what is not to like? Oh yes, Northern Lights are also a thing here.

Big Sur, California, USA

The rocky coastline, with whales in the distance and dolphins on the horizon, Big Sur is a gem of California. Nearby parks have waterfalls in them. Camping here is a great chance to meet other fellow campers. It is located five hours north of Los Angeles and is a genuine paradise. The place also has some of the oldest and largest trees in the world, most of the redwoods.

The Nusa Islands, Indonesia

The Nusa islands are located off the coast of Bali in Indonesia.  If you aim for the beauty of Balinese culture without the crowds, this is the place. Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Ceningan are the tree islands present here. Swim with the manta rays and stay in a real treehouse. Go on a hike to see some breathtaking views from many viewpoints.  Oh, and the water is the bluest you can imagine. Chances usually choose Bali over this, meaning there are not many people here.

Sossusvlei, Namibia

A barren desert seems like a lame destination. However, it can be the perfect place for a solo adventure. It is great for personal development, while its warm and dry climate means that the sky is incredible for stargazing. Climb up Dune 45 at sunrise for an unforgettable experience. Namibia is an adventurous and social place, and not at all dangerous. Camping accommodations have pools and other common areas where you can meet new friends. It is not crowded nor chaotic. Just pay attention to scorpions. One great thing to do is to join a safari or a tour.

The capital of Germany does not seem crowded because it is spread out. It offers many big parks so peace and quiet are easy to find. It is a progressive city in every sense, and it has a low crime rate.
