I went traveling for about 7 months, through southeast Asia and then to Australia and New Zealand, and I did most of it by myself - I've never done anyhitng more rewarding or frightening in my life. You've got to be reasonably thick skinned to get through that amount of time "Alone", that is to say, with no one you can really confide in and count on. I think it's very interesting to note that I had more trouble with malicious people in the first world countries than I did in the third world ones - just goes to show that getting outside your comfort zone can sometimes pay off.
Some random words of caution - don't play poker with Thais and win... they don't like that. But if you lose they'll spend all the money you just gave them and buy you Thai whiskey all night. Strange but true.
