Is backpacking alone to south east asia for a single 23 year old female a bad idea?

umm yeah alone is not that smart of a idea you will be a easy target since your caucasian, and your going to be alone, honestly you wont get a good idea of what its like until your actually over there 2 places i will recommend you not to go to Bangladesh, Thailand, and some parts of India, be very wary of the locals. just my two cents
