Tasmania, an isolated island located in the southern coast of Australia. Tasmania is a quite state. Wherever you go, you can easily have a photo done without any photobomb. During my roadtrip around the Tasmania, I saw more animals than human. lol, but true, it is known for the wildness area. The best way to travel around Tasmania is by car. There are many car rental available online or even in the airport. Without a car, traveling around Tasmania is still possible, but very time consuming and not convenience. For solo traveler, there are options such as take public transportation and engage with local tour. Public transportations are available is some places, but more time consuming.
