Projects

Tools, datasets, and open projects built to support solo travelers.

SoloTraveler.org is more than a blog. Alongside guides and resources, we build practical tools and open projects designed to make solo travel safer, easier, and more informed. Some projects are built for everyday travelers, others for researchers, developers, and advocates — all are created with openness and long-term usefulness in mind.

Featured Projects

Below are selected tools and open projects developed to support solo travelers through practical data, experimentation, and reusable infrastructure. These projects range from traveler-facing tools to open datasets designed for analysis, research, and long-term public use.

🧳 Solo Traveler CLI

A command-line tool for planning and managing solo travel.

The Solo Traveler CLI is an experimental, open-source tool designed for travelers who prefer lightweight, flexible workflows. It allows solo travelers to explore destinations, manage trip details, and work with travel data directly from the command line.

What it supports:

• Trip planning and destination exploration.
• Working with structured travel data.
• Automation-friendly travel workflows.

Status: Active development.
Best for: Power users, developers, and data-minded travelers.

📊 Travel Datasets

Open, reusable datasets for solo travel research and planning.

We publish and maintain structured datasets covering topics such as countries, cities, languages, transportation, safety indicators, and travel logistics. These datasets are used across SoloTraveler.org and are also available for independent analysis and reuse.

Dataset categories include:

• Country and destination data.
• Language and communication data.
• Transportation and infrastructure.
• Travel safety and practical indicators.

License: Open (free to use and adapt).
Best for: Researchers, journalists, developers, and advanced planners.

How These Projects Are Used

These projects power:

• Analysis and statistics published on SoloTraveler.org.
• Educational resources and travel guides.
• Experimental tools and future features.

They are designed to be modular — useful on their own, and stronger when combined.

Why We Build in the Open

Solo travel benefits from transparency and shared knowledge. Wherever possible, our tools and datasets are published openly so others can inspect, reuse, and build on them. This approach supports better travel information, stronger advocacy for solo travelers, and more trustworthy insights.

What’s Coming Next

This page will continue to grow as new projects are released, including:

• Additional travel tools.
• Expanded datasets.
• APIs and integrations.
• Data-driven analysis projects.
