Very cool traveling plans there. Hopefully someone chimes in here of their travels there. I wonder if @wizehop has any knowledge of travels there or of anyone who has.

Have fun, be careful, and be safe

I had an uncle that travelled extensively in Papua. He wasn't hopping, hitching, or none of that, but he was traveling around with a friend of his who'd been living in the country his whole life. His stories are rife with roadside machete hold ups, untrustworthy locals, and incredible natural stimulants. Wish I could remember the name of the plant, but im sure it'll run into you in no time. Basically, I believe its the same as most places as far as solo female traveling goes. Its safer than they say, but buy yourself a machete anyways. Find a local you can trust and learn the lay of the land. Dont get eaten by cannibals.
