Not sure how easy this question is, but I wanted to know from the experience of birders here, what countries are good for an international birder to just travel on their own, little to no local guide services. This includes ease of driving, ease of identifying the birds (I doubt a trip to a rainforest region would be easy birding without a guide), how safe it is overall and how easy would it be to communicate if you only know English and Spanish.
I have some countries that kind of fit this criteria, but I want input from others to confirm if these places are good for solo birding and if you have other suggestions. Here are the countries I think work fine even if done alone:
Looking forward to hearing everyone's input since I know a few great birders here do their trips on their own or just with their significant other without employing a tour company or guide.
