When you’re thinking of traveling all by yourself to
another city or country, the number one question that comes into mind is “Is it safe there?” Well, there is really
no such place on Earth that is 100% violence free. But there are countries
where rule of law and good governance is top priority and you would rather go
there than risk your safety traveling to a place where the crime rate is high.
There are many places where you can have a safe travel
and I have compiled at least 10 destinations from all over the world where
there is a low crime rate and your safety and security is paramount. This list
is in no particular order.

This Scandinavian nation is one of the safest countries
for a solo traveler. It has a low crime rate where most common complaints are
petty crimes such as pickpockets and snatching. While there are occasional
reports of harassments by drunks, majority of these cases are committed by
migrants and the Danish people are generally peaceful and fun loving.
