Do you want to travel overseas but can’t decide where you should go? Many people who haven’t travelled overseas much get overwhelmed trying to decide where to travel. The world is a huge place with so many choices, no wonder it’s hard to decide.

If you’re a new traveller or a solo traveller, certain places will be more enjoyable, easier to navigate, and overall less scary, while still offering lots of culture and things to do. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares countries for new travellers.

England
England is a great country for new travellers for many reasons. One of the biggest is that they speak English so you won’t have to worry about getting past a language barrier. While London isn’t a cheap city, you can save money by using public transportation and eating at local pubs instead of fancy restaurants. And since London is a big city, there are lots of things to do. Visit museums, see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

Dubai
Dubai is a city that is not afraid of ambition. City authorities have pumped billions into positioning itself as a tourist and business hubs. There so many things to do in Dubai including the tallest man-made structure on earth, shopping and sightseeing. It is a perfect place to experience the and the new!

South Africa
South Africa is full of adventure, history, wildlife and great food. So, if you are a thrill seeker or looking to spice your life up a bit, then South Africa is the place for you. Whether you are interested in going Shark Cage Diving, Paragliding off of a mountain over a capital city or blokarting down by the beach then South Africa is definitely the place you should visit.

Australia
This is another great English-speaking country, so as a new traveller you can see something different without having to worry about the language. Australia is a really big country, almost the size of the continental US, so there’s something for everyone. But don’t try to squeeze too much into your trip.

France
Whether you are a first-time traveller or not, France is a place to visit. It has a pace that rivals New York and London, but there’s a certain casual elegance to it all that’s matched by famous museums like the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay. To enjoy the city more, endeavour to understand a bit of French.
