Las Vegas was my destination of choice. I’ve been a guy who appreciates small towns, family events, and everything consistent with that part of the world — but there’s no denying even in a winter coat, your blood gets a little hot when walking into a casino.

The man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready. – Henry David Thoreau

Thus, we deliver to your proverbial door a guide for literally flying solo.
This is for those of you seeking excitement, looking to make friends, and find romance across the globe; making contacts from continent to continent, perhaps leaving some broken hearts behind on faraway islands.

You get to be your own compass.

How to Find Affordable Accommodation
Before we dive into the list, here are a couple of tips to keep your accommodation spending lower and thus your potential fun spending higher:
1.) Our Favorite Travel Booking Site: Get Your Vibe Just Right
Discount Available
(Get 15% off your first hotel booking in the app with code APP15)
Travelocity is my favorite travel booking site because of its in-depth filter system. You can choose to just see adults-only hotels, or filter for more family oriented accommodation, which means you’ll find the precise type of vibe you’re looking for on your trip.
Here are my top three reasons to go with a hotel instead of an Airbnb for your next trip:
- There are (usually) more reviews and you’ll get a more consistent quality standard
- The hotel reservation process makes them easier for last minute stays and a hotel check-in is always more seamless
- Hotels won’t cancel on you on short notice!

If you’re going the hotel route, we’ve had great success using discount travel sites, especially Travelocity.
Let’s face it, if you’re a single guy traveling, you’d probably prefer to stay in places that aren’t family oriented with a bunch of kids running around.
My favorite thing about Travelocity (besides it usually offering the cheapest rates) is that you can get your filter on and view only adults-only hotels and resorts (you can also do the same for family style accommodation if that’s your preference). This means you can hone in on the exact type of vibe that you’re looking for during your stay.

2.) Airbnb Can be Cheaper and Offers a Better ‘Local’s Experience’
Here are my top three reasons to go with Airbnb instead of a hotel for your next trip:
- You’ll save money
- You’ll experience the place more like a local
- You’re more likely to actually have a kitchen!
If you click this link and make a booking, we earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Staying in an Airbnb is often cheaper than a hotel, and it also allows you to live more like a local in the city that you’re visiting. You get the flexibility of choosing an entire place or a single room to keep it even cheaper.
And you (usually) get the benefit of a kitchen, which means you to cook your own meals and save money on eating out.
The Best Cities for Single Men to Travel To
Pamplona, Spain
While these are listed in no particular order, it is fitting that the first entry on this roundup is inspired by quintessential man’s man and inspirer of bachelor culture, Ernest Hemingway.
The author had nothing short of a love affair with this city. So, make like “Papa” and go run with the bulls, checking this daredevil destination off your bucket list.
London, England
Though it had its groovy heyday in the 1960s, London is still fully swinging. The city has some incredible nightclubs and a wide variety of pubs to choose from to watch a little football.
Make your way to Savile Row to enlist an expert tailor to whip you up a bespoke suit while you’re there for an utterly royal experience.
Goa, India
The people of Goa are so friendly and always up for a little dialogue, making this an ideal destination for parties of one.
It’s also known for its pristine beaches, green countryside, and all-night parties. Rent a bike and check out the scenery during the day (or just lie on the sand and look out at the Arabian Sea) and then get down to some trance music from sunset till sunrise.
Ibiza, Spain
Speaking of 24-hour parties, it’s time to talk about Ibiza. This Spanish island is legendary for its all-day, all-night, all-week shindigs.
It’s glamorous and wild, with a bohemian meets raver meets jet-setter vibe. If you love sunshine, love to party, and love to party in the sunshine, this should move to the top of your list.
Obonjan, Croatia
Obonjan has been declared as the “new Ibiza” by numerous media outlets, singling this small island out for fun- and sun-seekers.
The “Island of Youth” by name is the new go-to for hedonistic revelers and music festival-goers. Think boats, beaches, and open-air clubs all day and all night—and lots of attractive new people to meet.
Havana, Cuba
This sort of goes back to #1 on the list and that Hemingway sensibility.
This trip is all about cigars, beautiful old cars, great food, and friendly folks. Cruise around in a vintage ride and see the sights during the day and enjoy warm nights with live music after hours.
New York City, New York (USA)
This trip is decidedly not about thinking nor wide open space.
This trip is about lights, noise, people, energy, excitement, and vitality. It’s about spending gobs of money, eating huge, interesting meals, buying cool clothes, and feeling invigorated and energized by the buzz of creativity around you.
It’s about interesting conversation in cool downtown bars. Feeling alive. People watching. It’s life, magnified by 1,000 and given a turbo boost.

Dublin, Ireland
The purpose for this trip is twofold: Guinness and greenery.
Ireland is so lush and misty and green. Get in touch with your inner poet taking in this moody landscape. And you must make a pilgrimage to the Guinness factory and get a little fuzzy on a few pints as you learn about the storied history of this over 200-year-old brew.
