If you were a born traveler, you must have asked yourself about the 10 best countries to backpack alone. Travelling is fun when you’re with family and friends, but there are times when you would want to answer to your inner wanderlust all by yourself.
Backpacking alone is fun because of the thrill. You go somewhere you have never been before, immerse yourself in a different culture, and enjoy the spontaneity of exploring the world without an itinerary. The adventure tends to be more exciting when you backpack alone, because you allow yourself just to go with the flow and really go to places you want to see, instead of just being part of a group tour where you’re forced to leave even when you feel like staying.

Using those three criteria, we came up with these ten beautiful countries you can definitely explore by yourself.
