I think the risks are far over exaggerated. I know lots of women on the road by themselves. Especially if you are in the rock climbing world. It's not like this is some sketchy road bum shit. It's all in the context of being surrounded by very trustworthy people. I'd even go so far as to say your risk of rape is no higher than anyone else, and for girls on the road in the climber world who live in a van, less.
I heard of a woman who traveled to south america via land by herself. I did it with a military vet who did two tours in Afghanistan and grew up in Venezuela. So there are some badass fearless chicas put there

It's a play on that.
But how are you with trustworthy people if you're by yourself? Lol. I dunno... sleeping in a tent out somewhere and hitchhiking doesn't seem like a safe thing for a woman to do at all. I'm not criticising it, just saying. It's cool that you're living life in a way that is fulfilling to you.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
