Ok--better grip on your travel style/wants/needs--great list of all those things and you can see several places very easily and comfortably:
Hong Kong is good for solo traveler--I di it 4 yrs ago and went to Guangzhou China for side trip (friends of friends--huge P&G city)--just means visa outside of HK--not sure about Shanghai tho.
Have done the cnx in Narita and ICN and apparently both are excellent destinations for single females. I personally would prefer not going to any Arabic country as a lone femme-they treat their women as second class yet ogle and hassle western ones. Not my cup of mint tea...
I found Maui incredibly horrid--tourist junk everywhere--despite the scenic beauty--so many condos and brochures--high prices--and just when you think you've found a paradise beach--here's the BUSful of seniors. I wish I had better memories of my only visit there--I may never go back. I am sure some of the other islands must be better.
Thailand is a good place for single travelers, even tho Bangkok stinks to high heaven--most of where we went was exceptional--we traveled together but saw so many single gals. I would think Bali is as good or better--we're off there this fall for 2 wks.
Brasil is fabulous to travel everywhere but Delta has no NR partners--so it's the black hole for us on ID/zed fares except gateways like Sao Paulo and Rio (gotta just be very cautious there!!) I would go almost anywhere else in the country.
Im taking my sister to either Buenos Aires or Guatemala in a few wks and either one will be fine with us. Soft adventure--sounds like what you might like?
I agree with Anna--I went to Greece for my first shortie and it won't be the last--great people with a good infrastructure for tourism.
