Have you been to Saint Martin? When I was looking for a caribbean solo travel spot to kick off 2026, I needed somewhere relaxing, easy to navigate, and no reputation for men trying to romance foreign women. No shade if that’s your thing, but I wanted peace and quiet! 💆🏿♀️ My criteria for a solo travel destination: 🧐do I speak the language, or is English widely spoken? 🧐is it generally safe for women? 🧐is there public transportation, or if I rent a car am I comfortable driving? 🧐do people (locals AND other tourists lol) mind their business? Or will people try to chat me up left and right? Saint Martin checked all my boxes! I felt safe, people are friendly without overstepping (asking “are you alone, where is your boyfriend, what hotel are you staying, how long are you here for” are red flags 🚩) the beaches are stunning, and I love that I got a bit of French culture! 10/10 recommend! #travelinfluencer #travelexpert #travelhost #solotravel #sxm
