I am an independent person, and I like traveling alone. Where have you found are the best/easiest places to travel alone, both in terms of cost and safety? I'm looking for a good week-long destination, and something possibly longer term for my end of the contract/waste away my bonus money trip.

I have lots of places that I want to travel to, but I'm having problems narrowing things down. I can really only afford the two trips, and so I'd like to make them as rewarding as possible. I'm not particularly interested in Japan, I'd like to do something "different."

1 week - city state like Hong kong or Singapore. I didn't personally care for Singapore as I thought it was too santized and dull. Never been to Hong Kong.

More than a week - Laos. Laid back people, cheap as chips, safe place, awesome food, absence of f*wit foreigners if you stay well clear of Vang Vieng.

I went to the Philippine island of Boracay alone, and LOVED it. The people are so nice and fantastic, and it's cheap. The only drawback is that lodging is not as cheap as Thailand or Bali but still cheap overall.

I've been to Hong Kong six times but I wouldn't spend a week there. Singapore was also good but I wouldn't spend a week there, either.

You should first ask yourself what you like: nightlife, sightseeing, shopping and the like. Then see which places are best for each of the traits you need.
