The world of The Creator feels familiar and alien at the same time. The film brings viewers to a near-future where artificial intelligence exists alongside humans as both working robots and humanoid simulants. The US government seeks to eradicate all non-humans after a nuclear explosion devastates Los Angeles, hunting them down with a space station defense system called NOMAD. As the story unfolds, the audience follows Sergeant Joshua Taylor (John David Washington) as he searches for the creator of the AI, the mysterious Nirmata, and ends up on the run with a young simulant named Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), who may be the key to stopping the war.
I've traveled solo for over 20 years. Here are the cities I would go back to alone, and the ones that would be better with a travel buddy.

The first time I traveled solo, I was 15 years old. A shy and budding tennis player, I spent two months crisscrossing Austria, Switzerland, and Germany via Eurail on a junior tennis tour.
While my dreams of going pro are behind me, that trip left an indelible mark on my life. I've spent stints living in Paris, Prague, and Istanbul and have traveled solo to countless cities and every continent in the years since — for both work and pleasure. I find traveling alone to be one of the most rewarding and empowering experiences a person can have.
As much as I love traveling alone, I'd still prefer to return to some places in a group or with a travel buddy. Here's a shortlist of some of my favorite cities I've traveled to solo, including a few I wouldn't travel solo to again.
I've traveled solo to Japan a few times over the years. From hot spring hopping in Beppu to a self-guided food tour in Osaka, I've found that getting around Japan by bus and train is incredibly safe and efficient, which is why I consider it to be an ideal solo travel destination. This year, I traveled solo for the first time to Okinawa.
Less than a two-hour flight from Tokyo, this subtropical island is a designated Blue Zone and has some of the most beautiful scenery and kindest people I've ever met. Ideal for adventure lovers and anyone interested in spirituality, history, hiking, scuba diving, and the great outdoors, I would return solo in a heartbeat because of the safety and kindness of locals here.
Switzerland has maintained a reputation for being a safe destination for solo travelers, and after ten days circumnavigating Switzerland by train, I can confirm that reputation is true. While visiting Bad Ragaz, Switzerland I felt incredibly safe, which is always a priority to me as a solo-traveler.
Home to some of the best health spas and natural hot springs in the world, Bad Ragaz is a quiet and idyllic thermal spa town. I loved hiking around the five lakes on Mount Pizol, and I would go back alone. My stay at a traditional thermal hotel in town remains the best spa experience I've had to date.
I spent the better part of a summer backpacking across Southeast Asia. I'd never been to this part of the world, and I was intimidated about traveling here alone for the first time. I'm so glad I pushed through my fears.
I challenged myself in ways I never thought I would, and the experience was so rewarding. I spent the bulk of my time solo in Hanoi, Vietnam. I would spend less than a few dollars a day on meals and fell in love with Vietnamese iced coffee. In addition to the cost-effectiveness of traveling solo here, I found the locals to be incredibly welcoming.
I've traveled to Hanoi solo twice, and wouldn't hesitate to travel here again by

I've been traveling across Vietnam for 10 years. These are 5 places to skip if you want to avoid crowds — and where to visit instead.
After contributing to three guidebooks and writing over a hundred travel stories about Vietnam, my conclusion is that there are no no-go destinations. Every town, city, and province has its merits. But I would question some of the must-see destinations that pop up on the typical travel itinerary. The highlights are popular for a reason, but with popularity comes over-tourism, and with over-tourism comes crowds, noise, and disruption.
