Ubud has been ranked number six on a list of the finest worldwide places for solo travelers that was compiled by the American Business Journal Forbes and will be published in 2022.
Ubud has a long-standing reputation for being a warm and secure place, particularly among lone travelers, digital nomads, working expats, and single retirees. Ubud has become a home away from home for thousands of tourists from all over the globe who come for a short time but end up staying because of the numerous social events and close-knit cross-cultural groups that have helped make Ubud what it is today.
According to Forber Advisor, in order to pick the top 40 places for those traveling by themselves in 2022, three solo travel specialists were contacted. There are three of them, and their names are as follows: Global Grasshopper, Vicky Flip Flop Travels, and Adventurous Kate.
The ideal solo experience calls for a number of critical components, all of which have been thought out by the three together. The number of hostels, the typical cost of meals, the strength of the available Wi-Fi, and, of course, the crime rate were some of the factors that were taken into consideration. The association compiled a list of the top 40 destinations for persons traveling alone, with a particular emphasis on destinations that are suitable for women traveling alone.
Cities in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, Morocco’s Marrakesh, Turkey’s Istanbul, and Egypt’s Cairo are among the top five most populous cities in the world. Ubud, which is located in Bali and is known as a center for yoga and spirituality, finished in sixth place, besting cities such as Cusco, Peru, Bangkok, Thailand, New Delhi, India, and Phuket, Thailand.
Advice for those who are traveling alone
The following advice, provided by three professionals working in the travel business, is intended to help solitary travelers feel more secure and at ease on their trips. The intrepid Kate recommends that solitary travelers carry more cash with them.
“I usually suggest that people who are traveling alone put some money away for safety,” she added. “The money may be used to hire a cab when you go home in the evening instead of using public transit, or it can be used to book nicer lodging.”
Global Grasshopper offers some useful advice to those who operate remotely or as digital nomads by using various forms of technology. Before making a reservation, Grasshopper recommends that digital nomads check to see whether their intended location has a reliable internet connection.
As a digital nomad, I make it a habit to verify the speed of my internet connection before I go to a new location. He said, “If the Wi-Fi is really sluggish or I am unable to upload images, it will have a significant impact on my business.”
After that, Vicky Flip Flop Travel advises lone travelers to make informed decisions about where they will stay and to not be fooled by inexpensive pricing.
