6 hot spots for singles
All the single ladies, all the single ladies, now put your hands up! Sorry, Beyonce just fit too perfectly into this article. Just to clarify; This article isn’t directed to only women, but to all genders! If you happen to be single this Valentine’s and can’t stand being around your local couples, then we have the perfect Valentine’s trips for singles right this way. Start living your best single life with some fun travel mates!
6. New York City, United States
The Big Apple, the city of opportunities is the perfect place to start. New York City is said to have one of the most lively dating scenes, so if you and your travel mates are single, you can easily chat up a local cutie. Find a nice spot at a bar and treat yourself to a nice cocktail while you wait for your prince or princess charming to approach. Of course, we also understand that not everyone is looking for a special someone, which is why this also works both ways when trying to find friends. When in New York City, you should wander around and get lost because that’s the beauty of every new city. Plus, we are sure you will find something to do around every corner.
The city is also known for its many museums. One of the most famous museums is the Museum of Arts and Design, which is open until 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Take advantage of this and wander around the museum during the peaceful evenings and take in the beauty of the surrounding artworks. Or, splurge on yourself with some shopping time in one of the greatest cities in the world.
5. Leon, Nicaragua
First of all, are you feeling quite adventurous this Valentine’s? What we are about to recommend is something truly unique. What if we told you to go on a Valentine’s trip for singles in León, Nicaragua to do volcano boarding? For those who aren’t familiar with volcano boarding, it’s when you hike up a mountain and ride down it either by sitting or standing on a metal or wooden board. It’s a lot less scary than it sounds, but lots of fun! However, this could also end up being a very dangerous activity if you don’t have someone with you showing you how it’s done. Find yourself a tour guide from JoinMyTrip who can show you the way. After all, we want you to have the best time this Valentine’s day, not for you to never return.
If volcano boarding sounds a bit too brave for you, León is still one of the most stunning cities in Nicaragua where you can enjoy the local delicacies, beaches, cathedrals, and museums.
4. Australia
If you are a European, Australia may very well be the perfect Valentine’s trip for singles. Escape far and wide from the European winters to sunny Australia! The month of February might be one of the most depressing months, Christmas is over, New Year is over and the weather is just cold. For valentine’s day travel to Australia when it’s the peak of their summer on the other side of the planet. Surf the waves with hot Australian surfers, and if you don’t know how to surf, it’s the perfect opportunity to ask someone for a free lesson on the beach…*wink*. Or, simply pay for a surf lesson.
Other than seducing hot surfers all day long, we recommend you to go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef located off the coast of Queensland. It’s the largest coral reef in the world and an experience all at once. Under the sea, darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from Sebastian in the little mermaid. What better way to spend your Valentine’s than swimming with gorgeous fish?
3. Las Vegas, Nevada
We cannot write Valentine’s trip for singles article without mentioning Las Vegas, it’s impossible. Las Vegas is where we all go to have a wild time and not remember a single thing from our whole vacation, other than the fact that it was a fun time. At least that’s what you would like to think, it is called “Sin City” for a reason. A trip to Sin City could not be better for any single person out there, it is practically Disneyland for adults; casinos, nightclubs, various shows, and all the bright neon lights catching your attention as you walk by. With so many things going on in Las Vegas you won’t even have time to find yourself being bored. We are sure you won’t be the only single person wilding out in Las Vegas this year, so find a travel mate and share the experience.
If you want to try something more low key in Las Vegas, another option is to go ghost hunting, because nothing screams Sin City like going on a ghost hunting tour. Go hunting for ghosts with real equipment and say hello to Jasper the friendly ghost for us.
2. Amsterdam, Netherlands
For many years Amsterdam has been the hotspot for young European tourists, so the city definitely has something exciting to offer all year round. A famous city filled with picturesque canals, and bikers coming from all sorts of different directions. Amsterdam is the perfect place for a Valentine’s weekend getaway if you want to visit some famous attractions such as the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank’s home while getting to know some of the friendliest people. If you’re interested in history, then you have to educate yourself on how Anne Frank and her family hid in the attic of their house from the Nazis for years. Spend your weekend here strolling through Vondelpark, grabbing a nice cup of coffee with your travel mates at a local cafe, and go people-watching by the canals.
1. Budapest, Hungary
Welcome to Budapest, the dream place of every single traveler. The capital city of Hungary offers a true adventure, with its famous nightlife, world-renowned baths, and affordable location. The city is packed with pub crawlers during the nights, so don’t forget to visit one of their most famous ruin bars “Szimpla Kert” either.
