If you´re in Asia - I´d recommend to visit Indonesia
Spend 3 months there, on Java, Bali and a week on Lombok. Most of the time I was in Yogyakarta, with very friendly people, culturally rich, good food (especially in Ramadan when in the evenings all streets are lined with little food stalls and the whole neighbourhoods come together), stunningly beautiful landscapes, Merapi, Borobudur and Prambanan closeby. Riding a scooter in mad mad traffic

I encountered no problems roaming around alone as a woman after nightfall.
But it´s also incredibly poor. Seeing the slums in Jakarta - that image and feeling will never leave my mind.
All in all a remarkable experience, one I wouldn´t want to miss. Just be aware of local laws
