I've always felt there is something very wrong with females going off traveling on their own, even in groups with other females.

I just don't see what a woman could ever gain from it, they're just making themselves very vulnerable especially in many non-Western countries where a lone woman is basically regarded as available and a slut.

Travel is good for a man, because it builds character, improves self-reliance, forces you out of your comfort zone and to talk to a wide variety of people you wouldn't normally. However, I don't see how any of this really applies to women.
