I have a lot of places I want to go, but there are also a lot of places I won't go traveling solo.
I've been to lots of places, most of which I'd go back to as a solo female traveller, for biz or pleasure. I'd say that there isn't one place in Asia that I would hestitate with, including Jakarta. Rangoon has a certain stigma attached to it, but I wouldn't hesitate to go there, either, and safety certainly isn't the concern there.
As for other places, I wouldn't want to go back to Karachi by myself, but if I had to, I would hire a personal guide/driver. I would go back to Cairo by myself, but I would get burnt out after awhile. Same for the busier cities of India, I would travel there alone, but would get burnt out very quickly. I would, however, hestitate in certain off-the beaten parts of East and South Africa and probably arrange for a guide if I had to go it alone.
