based on 7 experiences from female travelers
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!
Posted: November 19, 2022I 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.
Posted: November 12, 2022I 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.
Posted: November 11, 2022Southeast 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, Kampot, Koh Rong) - Vietnam (Ha Long Bay, Hoi An)
Posted: August 31, 2022I'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.
Posted: July 7, 2022I 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.

When I am not working you can find me petting cats and dogs or dreaming about my next adventure. I enjoy trying new cuisine and learning about different cultures. I am here to explore the world of solo travelling. I would like to travel internationally more, while Tango-ing wherever I can and connect with like minded people.

Hi, I'm Carissa, I'm 32, and my pronouns are she/her. I love to travel and see less of the touristy things. Although I'm really big on history, architecture, learning how things are made, and food when it comes to travel. I have two cute Yorkies (hypoallergenic) at home that I love dearly, but I am allergic to animal dander. I tend to be on the quieter side, but I love getting to hear other people's stories and try to learn as much as I can wherever I go. I value meeting people, dancing, laughing, eating new things and enjoying magical moments that travel has to offer. I love talking about physical and mental health, food from both historical and socio-economic perspectives, cultural norms, and family systems. You could also find me talking about dance, movies, music, art and fashion. I love it all.
