Otherworldly landscapes mixed with laidback locals make New Zealand a magnetic choice for solo travelers in search of a life-changing journey. “The country has some of the world’s most memorable adventure lodges,” Harvey says, adding that they offer “a nice balance between spending time on your own and forging connections with your fellow guests and the lodge staff.” If you’re keen to experience the South Island’s renowned adventure scene, consider a stay at Blanket Bay, a lodge tucked on the shores of the remote Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown where jet boat safaris, backcountry hiking, and horseback riding are everyday affairs.
