Single on Valentine's Day? There's a whole world out there waiting for you. Celebrate being free with a trip somewhere far from the happy couples. After all, hitting the road is an adventure, alone or not, and sometimes it's even more rewarding to travel solo. Here are the top five destinations that will make travelers fall in love with the world.

New York, New York

It's practically impossible to feel completely alone as a tourist in New York. There's so much to see and do even as a solo traveler, and if you're looking to meet someone new, the vibrant scene is the perfect place to talk to a friendly stranger, according to a report from Trips to Discover. Get lost in the city that never sleeps and discover why so many people flock to the Big Apple.

During the day, tourists can explore the array of museums in the city, including the world-famous Metropolitan Museum of Art. Nightclubs are a good place to meet new people, but visitors can also hit The James New York's rooftop pool in Soho, where locals and tourists converge to swim, mingle and have fun.

New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans features a different vibe from the Big Apple, but it's just as lively and colorful. Tourists going solo can immerse themselves in the rich culture, from the incredible music scene (it is known as the birthplace of jazz) to the flavourful fare of the party city. Strolling down the streets is an experience in itself in this cultural hub.

According to a report from Yahoo!, tourists can opt to sit back and relax with the Valentine's Day packages of Loews Hotel New Orleans. Get buzzed in bliss with the "A Spirited Stay" package, which includes a two nights' stay, welcome cocktails, wine tasting, discounts on spa services and more. If the singles would rather band together, the hotel also offers the "Girlfriends Getaway" package.

Sololá, Guatemala

According to a report from USA Today, those who are seeking adventure will find it in this city where one can kayak, dive, hike, rock climb and even explore nearby volcanoes.
