Traveling Alone? These 6 Introvert Travel Destinations Are Perfect!
Traveling with friends and family is a great way to make memories that will last a lifetime. But between group trips, consider taking time for yourself as well. Solo travel can be lots of fun, especially if you're an introvert who quickly feels drained after spending time with other people. Ready for a vacation that actually feels relaxing (but not boring)? Here are six introvert travel destinations that will have you looking forward to your next solo trip.
Charlottesville, VA
Virginia is home to so many iconic destinations. Williamsburg is fantastic for history buffs, while Virginia Beach is ideal for soaking up the sun. But if you trek a little further from the coastline, you won't regret a stay in Charlottesville. This town isn't as big as a bustling city, but it's also not so small that you'll miss out on everyday conveniences.
Whether you love perusing a museum, hiking through national parks, or sipping on wine, there's plenty to do here. Charlottesville Vacation Rentals offers accommodations with all the peace and quiet your introvert heart desires, but still keeps you close to the action!
New York's Finger Lakes
There's more to New York than the Big Apple! Take a vacation up to the state's Finger Lakes for the ultimate quaint getaway. You can go hiking along the water, explore the state parks, or even go horseback riding. The Finger Lakes region is stunning in the spring and summer, but if you're hoping to see a bit of fall foliage, you can't go wrong with an autumn trip.
Nature is at the heart of this destination, but you'll also have opportunities to get out on the town. There are several museums and historic sites in the area, and many small towns near Linger Hospitality's vacation rentals have cute cafes and boutiques (we recommend Watkins Glen!).
Kauai Island, HI
Solo or not, a tropical vacation is never a bad idea. The "Garden Island" is one of our favorite introvert travel destinations, thanks to its numerous activities you can do alone. Snorkeling is a must, but we wouldn't blame you if you spent the bulk of your time lounging on the beach!
The crystal-clear waters are perfect for kayaking, or you could pass the time searching for picturesque waterfalls. Want to be a bit more adventurous? Get some adrenaline pumping and see a bird's-eye view of the landscape with a ziplining excursion. The Parish Collection Kauai can set you up with an incredible accommodation on the south side of the island.
Cannon Beach, OR
Perhaps you aren't big on the island life, but you still want a coastal vacation destination. Cannon Beach and Arch Cape in Oregon are calling your name! The peace and quiet are perfect for introverts, but there's still plenty to do. Of course, the coastline is absolutely stunning, and you can always spend your time grabbing photos at the beach.
But Cannon Beach has more to offer than beautiful landscapes. Spend some time at the local history center, explore the intimate art galleries, and finish the evening by following the North Coast Craft Beer Trail. You can do it all from a Beachcomber Vacation Homes rental!
North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains
If you love a good mountain view, plan your next trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. This range covers several states, but we're partial to North Carolina. Choose one of Blue Ridge Mountains Rentals' accommodations near Boone, Blowing Rock, or Banner Elk for a truly unforgettable experience. The remarkable landscapes are the main reason so many people visit this part of North Carolina, but you can do more than just take a hike or drive the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Plan a full day in Boone to check out some museums, take a walking tour, or stop by a local brewery. There's also an excellent shopping district, complete with clothing boutiques, ski shops, and antique stores.
Martha's Vineyard, MA
Vacation like the rich and famous at Martha's Vineyard. This Massachusetts island may not be a tropical paradise like Kauai, but it has a certain elegance and charm. Its quiet atmosphere and plethora of solo-friendly things to do make it the perfect introvert travel destination. Martha's Vineyard is known for its incredible beaches, but if you want to step off the sand during your trip, we recommend taking a boat excursion, going birding, or visiting a local festival.
Don't miss out on the island's museums, either! Stop by the local history museum, world culture center, or arboretum before taking the ferry back to the mainland. Point B Realty can help you find an amazing rental to serve as the home base for your vacation.
Once you discover the joy of solo travel, you might never want to go back to planning trips for a big group! If you're ready to take some time for yourself, any of these introvert travel destinations could be perfect for you. Don't forget to check out our partners to find your ideal rental in these solo-travel-friendly locales.
