Is Indonesia safe for solo female traveler?

·
 Q: I am a solo female traveler and I am planning to visit Indonesia for about 3 weeks. I plan to go to Jakarta, Bandung, Bali, Lombok and Yogyakarta for a start. I might be traveling to several off the track places too but have yet to decide. Do you think it is safe for a woman to travel alone there?

Depending on the are you are visiting in Indonesia, it is generally safe for women or solo travelers depending where you go. Yogyakarta and Bandung are noted to be safe and friendly place to travel. Just practice the usual caution of taking care of belongings and well aware of surroundings, especially in crowded places. Therefore experienced solo women travelers would be fine but the new and fresh ones should be more careful and may think twice to bring companions or at least experience somewhere else first. Rachel have done backpacking in Java Indonesia as solo female traveler and finds it safe.
