This country is now the go-to for solo travel, according to a new study

Italy is the top place to travel solo

Canals in Burano, Venice, Italy

Craving a solo escape that’s equal parts safe and scenic? According to a new ranking from Much Better Adventures, there's one destination that stands out above the rest, and it might surprise you. After analyzing factors like safety scores, affordability, biodiversity, ease of entry, and traveler reviews, the adventure travel company named Italy the number one country in the world for solo travel in 2025.

While seven of the top 10 destinations are in Europe, Italy claimed the top spot thanks to its incredible regional diversity, accessible travel network, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Each part of the country feels like a unique adventure, from the vineyards of Tuscany to the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the food markets of Palermo to the alpine trails of the Dolomites. With affordable trains and well-connected towns, traveling between regions is easy, often spontaneous, and always scenic.

I've lived in Washington State for a couple of years now, but I'm still unpacking all of the great places to stay and visit. There's so much to do in the Evergreen state, and during my recent stay in Spokane, I can definitely say that there are a lot of high-end luxury experiences too. From high-end hotels like the Davenport Collection and eateries to some of the best wines in the state, you might be surprised to learn that Spokane is actually a top destination for nature lovers, too. Here's everything you need to know about the wilder side of Spokane and why you should consider coming here during your next vacation.

This city is a particularly unique place because the town was built around the Spokane River. This is a gorgeous ribbon of blue that's full of waterfalls, eddies, and streams that wind their way through the city. The best place to see this is in downtown Spokane, specifically at the famous Riverfront Park.

Hidden in plain sight: Understated luxury inside Nobu Hotel Atlantic City

A hidden, exclusive gem inside Ceasar's Atlantic City hotel

Nobu Atlantic City

I walked the Atlantic City boardwalk dozens of times last summer, yet completely missed the hidden Nobu Hotel inside Caesar's Atlantic City. Nobu Hotel Atlantic City, which opened in early 2024, is Atlantic City's hidden luxury gem. Situated within Caesar's Atlantic City, the Nobu Hotel occupies 85 rooms on the 42nd, 43rd, and 44th floors of the hotel. Having dined at the top-tier Nobu restaurant in my recent visit to Atlantis Bahamas, it's safe to say I was pretty excited for my first stay at a Nobu hotel. This boutique luxury experience almost feels like a secret and exclusive club, situated on the top three floors of the Centurion Tower. Decorated with neutral color schemes, modern touches, and subtle Japanese nuances, here's what it's like to stay at this concealed gem.
