A Solo Female Traveller’s Guide to the USA in 2026
Fresh from International Women’s Day, I spoke to the teams behind several US destinations to hear what’s new, what’s changing and why solo travel continues to open up exciting opportunities for women. From cultural hotspots to foodie cities and lesser-known gems, there are more reasons than ever to look across the Atlantic for your next adventure.
Raleigh is one destination to watch, particularly with a new flight from Dublin due to start soon. Known for its vibrant food scene, welcoming feel and safe, easy-to-navigate centre, it offers a fresh and appealing option for women considering a solo trip to the US.

Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites, Orlando
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly base for your Universal Orlando holiday without scrimping on style or perks, Surfside Inn and Suites is a bit of a gem.
It's part of Universal’s Endless Summer Resort, it’s got a bright, beachy vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a seaside break rather than in the middle of Orlando.
