    Me Black 60plus backpacker , been to Iceland, remember the weather can be wet and windy even in the summer, Blue Lagoon is overpriced only booking online and can’t be reached without taxi.., oh yeah.., mostly couples, not recommended for solo travellers.
    There are loads of good sports centres in Reykjavik, cheap with pools and hot tubs etc.
    Morocco... ladies beware sexist as hell and I would caution you about going.
    If you do, don’t wander about alone too much.
    Best to go with a partner
    France, been there dozens of times... Paris obviously, but cheap flights to Nice and Bordeaux are. good.
    Those channel resorts Caen or St Mali are fun.
    Enjoy, stay safe and travel, remember you have limited time on Earth.

    Thailand is definitely friendly for a black solo female traveller. I’ve never ever had a problem. The UAE concerns me because of their treatment of Africans in domestic work. They are treated violently and nothing more than animals. I’d do some research before travelling their. Bali is definitely one to go too. I never experienced racism there.Never been to Iceland. Will try to visit. I’d love to visit Ghana and Tanzania.

    Great video and tips. I'm planning my 1st solo trip as soon as the borders open to Seattle US, watched many solo trip vlogs by females going to Seattle and it looks great, easy to get around, friendly people and safe. I live in Asia and would agree on Thailand being a nice country to visit, would also recommend Japan where I live, it's extremely safe, people are very friendly. You may get some looks only because you're foreign not necessarily because you're black but people mind there own business. I wouldn't personally travel to Paris solo, I've been a few times with my french husband and he even watches his back and doesn't always feel safe, especially at night in some areas, people be out to try rob you which has happened to a few of our friends. Neither would I travel to Morocco solo but in saying all that, it has nothing to do with being black just be mindful and aware wherever you go.

    Wonderful video and am now a new subbie:) Love your accent and how eloquently you speak! Btw, I’ve been wanting to visit Morocco as a solo traveler but have read from a couple of female bloggers that the men in the market areas can behave aggressively towards women (violate personal space, become loud, and follow you) in their attempts to get you to buy merchandise. I’m curious if you’ve had a similar experience, and if so, how you handled it. If not, was there anything in particular that you think may have helped you avoid such interactions?
