How safe is Asia for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I spent a solitary 4.5 months traveling around Southeast Asia and visited Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bali, and I enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend Cambodia. Especially the Koh Rong islands - they are geographically close to the popular Thai islands, but they are much less spoiled and amazing thanks to sections of white beaches and crystal blue ocean!

Group travel

I just returned after 2.5 months in Southeast Asia (Thailand -> Cambodia -> Vietnam -> Bali -> Thailand), which is practically what you are doing. I can initially say that it was absolutely amazing and I felt very safe the whole time (an 18-year-old solo female), although I spent a lot of time on organised group tours, which greatly facilitated the entire experience.

Solo travel

I loved Vietnam (my favorites are the Mekong Delta, Hoi An and Ha Long Bay (you can live on the islands there)) and Sumatra (check out Lake Maninjau and the orangutan sanctuary in Bukit Lawang). Don't book too far in advance, that way you can stay longer in the places you will love and vice versa.

Solo travel

Southeast Asia is the perfect place for solo backpacking trips. Everyone is so friendly in hostels and open to meeting new people. I would recommend occasionally staying at party hostels, because the people staying there are usually very friendly and open to meeting people and having fun! I was traveling for 3 months and here are my main points: - Bali (Canggu and Ubud), Gili Trawangan (island near Bali), - Thailand (Chang Mai, Pai, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phangan) - Cambodia (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh,...

Solo travel

I've been traveling all over Southeast Asia for over 6 months! My travel plan: Thailand > Cambodia > Vietnam > Laos. I've met a lot of solo travelers backpacking through Southeast Asia and they are thrilled with every minute. There's so much to do, affordable for any budget, and it's really one of the most magical places on Earth.

Solo travel

I loved Thailand and Vietnam. I traveled around Thailand by myself. I visited Phuket, Phi Phi, and Koh Sok. I also did a tourist trip through Vietnam from south to north in 2 weeks. I found that both of these countries are easy to travel in. They are very tourist-oriented.

About me

Hey! I’m an easygoing, curious person who loves trying new things and meeting new people. I’ve recently gotten really into trekking and exploring new places, but I’m also here to find people with similar hobbies and interests. I’d love to find girls to play badminton with, go on hikes, explore Bangalore, try skating or horse riding, learn guitar together, or just hang out and discover new places. I’m always up for picking up a new hobby or trying something I’ve never done before. Mostly here to make genuine friendships, find my kind of people and hopefully have some fun experiences along the way 😊

About me

Hi everyone! I’m Naz, a 19-year-old student splitting my time between the UK for my studies (Philosophy & International Relations at Oxford) and Antalya, Turkiye. I’m deeply passionate about discovering new cultures, art, and meaningful conversations. When I’m not traveling or writing, you’ll probably find me charcoal drawing, swimming, or sipping coffee over a good book. ​Hosting & Traveling I love the spirit of women supporting women on the road! I’m always open to connecting with fellow travelers, sharing local tips, meeting up for a coffee, or hosting when possible. Likewise, I’m excited to explore new cities and stay with locals who love sharing their space and culture. ​Let’s connect and share stories from around the globe! 🌍✨
