Ireland
Ireland is a wonderful place to visit, with some of the friendliest people and lots of craic (banter) to keep you entertained.
Visit the craggy beaches and be amazed by the beauty, or hike the Giants Causeway in Belfast (Northern Ireland is technically part of the United Kingdom, but for the sake of this blog, we’ll lump them together!) or discover an excellent local bar in Dublin’s city center. It may not always have the nicest weather, but it boasts some fantastic accents, stunning scenery, and a positive attitude.
Top tip: because of history, it’s better not to bring up the other side of the country whether you’re in Northern or Southern Ireland. The majority of people will be cool with it, but you don’t want to offend anyone.
Japan
With its highly courteous community and low crime rates, Japan is one of the safest Asian nations to visit.
This country is one of the most attractive to visit because of its fairy-tale-like gardens and future high-tech cities.
When visiting Japan, it is critical that you respect their culture and follow any laws in public places, as they may be rather strict. Aside from that, it is an amazing nation to visit and should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Finland
A small, but magnificent nation with an incredible range of activities for all adventurous.
Finland’s people are also extremely friendly and inviting, making it one of the greatest locations to visit alone.
Another fantastic thing about Finland and other Scandinavian nations is that they are role models in terms of sustainability and eco-friendly living, so if you’re aiming to be more environmentally conscious and learn more about how to save the world, a vacation here will not disappoint you.
Scotland, UK
While the larger cities such as London, Glasgow, and Cardiff are much busier and arguably less safe, the more rural places are a terrific alternative and are frequently overlooked!
Take a road tour along Scotland’s North Coast 500 and see some of the country’s most magnificent highlands and coastlines.
Go surfing in Devon, England, or visit Pembrokeshire, Wales, and be surrounded by nature while attempting something new like coastal sightseeing!
If you haven’t visited any of the countries above before, then you are in for a treat, now is the time to explore somewhere new and safe!
