What are the best and worst countries or cities to go travelling solo?

OP here

Best in general would be places where it's easy to be anonymous (Japan), where you are likely to run into other solo travellers, mainly places that are slightly obscure (Iran, India)

The hardest places are those that attract groups of friends traveling together, because it's harder to meet people. Europe for example.

Wut. Soloing in Europe is the best. Stay in hostels, meet other travelers.

This is fair.

I live in Japan so I can't comment myself, but one of my friends from the USA came out here for 3 months and traveled the country. He really had a blast and he was able to meet up with other travelers and expats in each of the cities he visited. Based on his experiences I recommend it.

I also personally have experience going to Nara solo (currently living and holding down a permanent position in Tokyo.) for an internship. Nara is excellent because you don't get so much of the Japanese cramped-ness, you're within spitting distance of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (fun day trips, concerts, etc), and Nara itself has a lot of cool history.

ay just a follow up question to your post even though it's somewhat unrelated. Would it be hard to live in Nara and commute to Osaka everyday? I've been to both for a trip, but I might end up living in Osaka in the future. It seemed possible but I wonder if I'm missing something that I didn't see because I wasn't there long enough. Same would go for living in Kyoto and working in Osaka.

I liked central america solo, it can be a little more nerve wracking but the people there tend to be more adventurous and up for meeting up. Tons of solo travellers too.
