Solo travelling and self dating. These are like two peas in a pod.
Solo travel is a killer boost for your self-confidence. This sentence pretty much said everything about the solo travelling and I agree that nasty stuff can happen anywhere, even in your local town. And I agree that you return as a different person. It is something like: "damn, I nailed this shit":)) hahah. It gives you the confidence that you can do anything on your own, something that all ladies need to have.
