Think again. “Solo travel has officially become one of the coolest, most popular ways to explore the world – more of a badge of honor than a last resort,” writes Caitlin Morton at Conde Nast Traveler.

In a year where tour companies offer special packages for lone wolves, Morton has compiled a list of the 18 best solo trips to take around the world. The destinations range from Sri Lanka to Copenhagen to the iguana-infested waters of the Galapagos.

Expect fun do-it-yourself activities like biking around temples and glamping in vast geothermal fields. Also, leopard safaris and dining at Michelin-starred restaurants. Here are the first 10 destinations on the list; for the full accounting visit CN Traveler, which provides travel-package recommendations.
