Are you still over there? I'd not head home quite yet. Why not switch modes and get on a rental bike and have a go?
I did this solo a couple times in Thailand, a bit in Cambodia as well. (rentals) Good times! AWESOME! (actually!)
After all, you've blown the money on air fare ... why not make the most of it? I used one of my expired Passports for rentals ... and any case, not ALL rental places demand a Passport. (there are alternate ways).
I enjoyed most of my backpacking times .. but i was 35 years younger and a lot tougher. I also mixed it up, doing some bus, some train, some Motorcycle. Took breaks in mini "Garden's of Eden" along the way too, living and working along the way.
Some of my bus rides were tough, like the ride from Merida, Mexico
(Yucatan) all the way to Tijuana (US Border) ... only break was change of buses in Mexico City. Valium really helps. 3 days.
Let us know how she goes!
