Solo travel can be intimidating, especially for the first time. Whether you’re traveling to a nearby city or across the globe, a solo trip can bring up some real concerns- from the awkwardness of dining alone to more serious issues of safety. But if you’re able to put aside those worries, solo travel can be one of the most freeing and rewarding experiences possible. It offers the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in a new place, learn about the local community, and maybe even about yourself. The right destination is everything, so make sure you’re safe and comfortable at one of these top solo travel destinations for first-timers.

Barcelona, Spain

This iconic Spanish city is extremely walkable, and getting lost is nearly impossible as long as you have a map of some kind. The city streets offer plenty of window-shopping and people-watching, whether you’re strolling down the beach boardwalk or wandering through the Gaudi-designed Park Güell. Solo dining options are abundant too – you can eat al-fresco at waterfront patella restaurants, or snag a counter seat at one of many wonderful tapas bars.

Seattle, United States

While not as exotic as some of the destinations on this list, Seattle’s charming coffee culture makes this a perfect first-time solo travel destination, as solo dining (and even drinking) is commonplace. The cornucopia of cafes and restaurants make perfect rest stops as you visit the curious Pike’s place market, the impressive Space Needle, and even the quirky Museum of Pop Culture. Downtown is compact, and the great public transportation makes it easy to jump from attraction to attraction.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Walking the charming streets of this city is a trip to remember in and of itself, but if you’re up for an adventure it’s just a short trip to the Northern Lights, and the famed Ring Road. Iceland actually earned the top spot on both the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global Peace Index, and the World Peace Forum’s Global Gender Gap ranking year, so female travelers can rest easy knowing that their safety is prioritized.

Munich, Germany

This Bavarian city embodies the jolly German mentality, where locals welcome tourists with a grin, at everything from mom-and-pop bakeries to the more touristy Olympiapark tower. After wandering quaint country roads and meadows, grab a pint at a local biergarten and get to know the locals and other tourists around you.

Tokyo, Japan

If you can put aside the difficult written language and crowds, this was seemingly built for travelers. The transportation in and between cities is the best in the world, so vagabonds can experience all the unique attractions and scenery, safely and conveniently. The people are among the friendliest in the world, and the options for hospitality and lodging are sure to make your experience.

Dublin, Ireland

The stunning breadth of nature here should speak for itself, but the appeal for solo travelers is really the welcoming locals. The friendly hospitality almost guarantees conversation over a delicious pint of Guinness. For a trip ripped straight from a fairy tale, Dublin is a favorite for many when it comes to solo travel destinations.

    Why Luxury Vacation Home Rentals are the Hottest Travel Trend of 2024

    the oracle los angeles villa rental

     

    Luxury Vacation Rentals

    Many people are seeking alternative ways to travel where they can stay-at-home in style. Luxury vacation home rentals have become one of the best ways for people to safely escape to a relaxing, new environment. There are limitless possibilities for travellers who work from home remotely, where a home office can be located anywhere in the world. Luxury vacation home rentals are one of the hottest travel trends to get you out of the house and into an extravagant retreat.

    A Tropical Oasis

    Life’s daily stressors could dissolve before your eyes when you choose a beachfront luxury home rental. Sparkling, blue oceans and warm sunshine will bring serenity to your days as you work from home in paradise. A luxury villa in the Caribbean makes for the perfect getaway with sprawling layouts built for relaxation.

    Dive into your own infinity pool by day and dine alfresco on your private patio by night. A visit to Los Cabos will also provide a peaceful escape, with contemporary interiors and unparalleled views of the sunset on the water. Absorb Mexico’s natural beauty in a luxury villa you can call home.

    Road Trip

    Taking to the open road is an ideal way to get out of the house during the pandemic. For those that prefer to travel by car, California cities are some of the best for basking in the warm weather and swaying palm trees. Luxury rental properties in Palm Springs are known for their quintessential, mid-century modern flair.

    Private pools and breath-taking views of the mountains create the perfect setting for being productive by day and indulging in relaxation by night. Or pack up the car and unwind in San Diego at an oceanfront villa perfect for the whole family. You’ll awaken to the sound of the waves and can lounge on the beach after a day’s work.

    Staycation

    Los Angeles residents may enjoy a holiday staycation to live in luxury right in their own city. Hollywood Hills residences offer modern architectural design along with unmatched views of the city. Private swimming pools are a must, along with luscious interiors and spacious living areas.

    You can also drive along PCH to Malibu, where properties overlooking the ocean make for a summery getaway all year long. Bright, coastal rooms with breezy, open layouts allow you to breathe easy during your pandemic stay. Beverly Hills also offers pristine properties where a private estate can be yours to live a lavish escape.

    Long-Term Stays

    Sometimes an extended change of scenery is all it takes to relax and rejuvenate during the pandemic. A stay of one month or longer gives you time to settle into a new environment with ease. Some travel destinations may require a period of quarantine, which makes a long-term escape ideal for making the most of your experience. Head to Aspen to immerse yourself in a cozy luxury property nestled in nature. The snowy landscapes will place you in a winter wonderland where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

      Experience the Neon Carnival presented by Bolthouse Productions & Best Events

      Over the years, the annual Neon Carnival has blossomed into becoming one of Coachella’s most highly-coveted party wristbands. The A-list guest list limited to celebrities, influencers, and industry insiders creates an incredible night as guests indulge in carnival games, rides, and unforgettable live performances in the middle of the desert. This highly sought-after invite grants you exclusive access to experience the social event of the year at Neon Carnival 2024.

      Coachellas most highly-coveted party wristbands

      The carnival is produced by Jeffrey Best and Best Events with nightlife impresario Brent Bolthouse—the creative behind Bungalow Hospitality Group’s well-admired Bungalow bars in Santa Monica and Huntington Beach. The group has more recently opened dining venues The Bungalow Long Beach and The Bungalow Kitchen by Michael Mina Tiburon. His impact in the industry spans decades, leading his event company Bolthouse Productions to continuously impress with their creativity, detail, and knack for orchestrating a good time.

      Neon Carnival 2024 marks 13 years of partying hard in the desert, and the festivities show no signs of slowing down. On Saturday, April 13th, the immense Desert International Horse Park will be transformed into an enormous fun fair spanning the length of three football fields, complete with games, music, food and drinks, and the iconic Levis Ferris wheel. The scope and spectacle grow every year, solidly cementing Neon Carnival as one of Coachella’s Hottest Parties.

      Neon Carnival 2024 will bring back familiar favorites alongside new sights and sounds. The night’s soundtrack will feature viral TikTok superstar DJ Hunny Bee as well as Vanderpump Rules star, DJ James Kennedy. Both are venerated performers known to keep the party raging with their high energy live DJ sets. They will be joining the absurdly cool headline event, Hip Hop sensation Anderson .Paak, who will be reprising his role as DJ Pee Wee, the DJ who spins vinyl and went viral. The untouchable live performer will be bringing his horn player and drum kit with him on stage, which practically guarantees the evening will go down in history. In 13 years of getting down, Neon Carnival 2024 might be the most exciting lineup yet. 

      Levi’s will return as a sponsor with their iconic branded Ferris Wheel alongside Patrón El Alto, who will be serving up custom cocktails at the bars throughout the venue, as well as providing VIP table service, a first for Neon Carnival. Liquid I.V. will be returning with their signature bumper car installation, equal parts fun and photo op. Other sponsors include Ghost Energy, Nütrl Vodka Seltzers, Heineken, La Croix, Coca-Cola, French Bee Airlines, Tangle Teezer, and Path Water, returning for their 3rd year in a row. Everyone is bringing their A-game, and the crowd is excited to see what they have in store. 

      Please Note: Access to the event is at the discretion of the organizer and submitting a request does not guarantee access. Zocha Group will review your request and contact you with more information if we are able to accommodate.

      To be considered for access, please only send one request inquiry per person, noting the events you are interested in attending. Please do not use the “auto-fill” feature and ensure you have entered the name of the event or your request will be invalid. Event invitations are not for sale. To be further considered for access, please follow @zochagroup on Instagram.

       

      Neon Carnival presented by Liquid I.V.

      In the early Neon Carnival days, the party was an even more exclusive indoor event at the Barker Hangar in Thermal, CA. It was a party fully-stocked with Hollywood elites as a private place to escape to after the festival with only a few-hundred guests on the invite list. The outdoor carnival aspect didn’t come into play until 2010, inspired by another of Bolthouse’s famous private parties held at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Each year the Neon Carnival has grown, with the event switching locations in 2018 to HITS Desert Horse Park, a larger space for an increased guest list of 8,000 attendees. The new guest list has expanded even further to include 10,000 attendees.

      A-List Attendees

      Past Neon Carnival events are well-known for drawing in a kaleidoscope of A-listers. It may be no surprise that attendees have included regular clubgoers like Drake, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Paris Hilton, but when Hollywood royalty like Leonardo Dicaprio and Clint Eastwood also show up for the festivities, the carnival’s status is cemented as being the best of the best. Last year’s party brought Camila Cabello, Metro Boomin, and Lil Nas X, but if there’s one thing we know about Neon Carnival, the guests get more glamorous every year.

       

      dance in the desert at the neon carnival ferris wheel

      Photo: Zocha Group – Dance in the Desert at the Neon Carnival 2024

      The Neon Carnival is an invite-only event.

      The big question hopeful attendees have each year is, “How do you get a wristband?” Bolthouse cites close-knit industry relationships as being the number one source for the guest list. Invites go out to talent agencies, record labels, and the numerous nightlife connections Bolthouse has developed over the years. 

      The curated selection of invitees are given a time and place for advanced check-in where they pick up their wristbands in Los Angeles within the weeks prior to the event. The 2019 event marked the first year the check-in location was made to feel like a party itself, with a red carpet, photo station, complimentary beverages and a lounge space for guests waiting in line for their wristbands. The sale of knock-offs online are a given for an event of this prominence, but Bolthouse ensures that the official wristbands can’t be removed for resale. Entry for the priceless event can’t be purchased, where even the extremely limited number of bottle service tables are quickly bought up by invited VIPs. 

       

      Neon Carnival Access

      Invite requests are at the discretion of Bolthouse Productions and Best Events, with influencers and highly-followed Instagram accounts likely to receive priority. According to Bolthouse himself, anyone with a dream of waltzing into the event is best off getting to know him personally through one of his many bar and nightlife ventures.

      You won’t miss out on any Coachella acts as the Carnival is always held after the closing artist has ended. Neon Carnival has never been directly affiliated with the festival and has always been an event for post-Coachella, which has helped cultivate a friendship rather than competition between the two events.

      Whether you’re one of the lucky invited guests, or a spectator hoping to make it to the list one day, excitement continues to mount as all eyes will be on the Neon Carnival this Coachella season. Its 11th installment will be sure to bring new surprises as guests party until the sun comes up at one of the hottest social events of the year.
