East Asia

Asia is a huge continent with heavy population centres and rural areas that are completely different from each other. Travelling here is a fascinating cultural experience. This section includes both East and Southeast Asia.

What I really like best about travelling this part of the world is the colourful and intricate architecture and the generally welcoming attitude towards visitors and strangers.

To explore, we went to a mix of big cities like Singapore, Beijing, and Kuala Lumpur, and off the beaten path destinations.

To date, we have articles on China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. There is plenty more to explore and write about here.
Enjoy our articles featuring travel planning and tips:
