I've traveled the world solo, and while it is fun to travel with friends and family it is also fun to do it alone. The total freedom, can be like a breath of fresh air.
Where to go and what to do will depend on several things, like budget, time you have to travel, and interests.
In the U.S. there is a lot of possibilities:
Miami has a lot to offer, great cool places to window shop, local food that is like no other in the states, and lots of off the beaten path things to do. Ever ridden on an air boat? How about getting up close to a gator? Maybe an exotic bird? Catch a sun rise on the beach, it's so peaceful. For a hotel, you can pamper yourself in any one of the 5 star, or save the $$ and enjoy a nice safe room at the Homestead chain.
Not into the sun shine state? Pick a boarder town in Texas. Brownsville is a typical small town, but only minutes from South Padre Island and Mexico. Here like many other border towns, you can just walk across. Enjoy the shopping, food, then return to your American hotel. South Padre is one of the more expensive places, but by staying in Brownsville, you can enjoy by day and sleep cheap.
Another town in Texas that offers a great time is San Antonio. Lots to do and see, and some more great food.
Want to get back to nature? There are tons of national and state parks that offer lodges and cabins. Take your comfy shoes, camera and relax. Just think... a whole vacation with no make-up, dresses, or heals.
Want to get away... take a cruise that stops at a lot of ports. Each port will offer you enough to keep you busy. Don't want to pay that surcharge for traveling alone, tell them you will accept a room mate. The odds you won't get one, but if you do, it will be another woman.
Have time to travel overseas? Paris! People think of it as being the romantic city, but there is enough there to keep you busy for weeks. Shopping is a bit expensive, but eating and the sights aren't that bad.
the Netherlands from spring to early fall... the long days offer plenty of day light hours to travel the country. Amsterdam is gorgeous and there are so many other places that easy to get to and enjoy. In the summer the sun will be up long before you are, and sunset doesn't arrive until late night.
How about sampling the East? Singapore has to be one of the safest places on the planet!
There is so much out there to do and enjoy. However there are a few simple things you can do to make your vacation a bit safer.
Travel by day for the more remote places, at night pamper yourself in the hotel or visit a well populated place. If traveling at night, make sure cabs are easy to get.
Let someone know at your hotel where you plan to be for the day/night.
Carry your hotel's phone number.
Carry a cell phone. (make sure the battery is charged)
Most of all, do what you want! This is YOUR time to recharge, if you want to sleep in, do it. Want a super sized meal, enjoy it. No one is there to tell on you.
Don't forget to get pictures of yourself! Look for someone else taking pictures, either a family or better yet some one with a real nice camera, and ask if them to take a picture of you with your camera.

Depends on your budget. I'd recommend Japan or Ireland because they are safe for travelers. Even in the safest country though, bad things can happen, so it would be a good idea to have a friend back home that you can check in with for your own safety. Also, be sure to stay in well lit areas and stay around areas that have a lot of people.

A friend of mine goes back east every year to watch the colors change and she is a single female. She usually goes to the Maine/ New Hampshire area and has never had a problem. You can have a problem anymore anywhere just be careful and dont give out any personal information room # etc to anyone you dont know. Have fun

Scotland is the best place for a woman to travel alone. Moreover, there are many wonderful cottages over there to spend your vacations with good deals.
