Jakarta was my first destination outside of Europe that I traveled solo to. I was a bit scared and overwhelmed at first. But I didn’t feel unsafe or uncomfortable any time, even while walking alone in the streets. People were amazing, welcoming and really helpful. It’s definitely not a place for everyone, the “sights” are nothing special but the culture and atmosphere is there. I stayed in a hostel called The Packers Lodge and I can only recommend it. Great for meeting people, welcoming, clean with a kitchen.
Posted: June 30, 2024Alot of people told me there isnt anything in Jakarta but I still went ahead with a solo trip. The people in Jakarta are very friendly and helpful. I stayed in All Season Thamrin Hotel which is 10 mins walk to the malls . Thamrin City was my favourite as I could purchase cloths at wholesale price. I went to Jakarta old town and I love the peaceful surroundings. Jakarta has MRT but I didnt commute. Most of the time I used GoJek their private hirer and its really affordable. Their food is amazing dont forget to try their Jamu drink if you are visiting.

As a female, I don't recommend walking alone at night. Take an uber / taxi please. As long as you're not out alone in the streets, you're pretty safe. I don't worry about safety in the malls or any indoors but definitely be careful and vigilant in car parks.

Hi ladies, I have been live in Jakarta almost 20 years. In my experience snd opionion is safe for woman travel. We had public transportation till mid night, and also apps like grab and gojeg is easy to used. Also people so friendly

I like travelling for sure. I know I still only have few experiences, but when I have a chance (I'm making on it!) sure I will take my backpack n go.. I have fun with my own way, walking around-meeting people-tasting food-n all.. :) I'm happy enough with that. beside that... I'm a simple person, open minded, like listening people's stories, give much smiles, love jokes, n so so random. PHILOSOPHY Become friends with people who aren't my age. Hang out with people whose first language isn't the same as mine. Get to know someone who doesn't come from my social class. This is how I see the world, this is how I grow.
