Where do I even begin with Asia?!
One minute you’re wandering through a city that feels like it’s from the future, the next you’re exploring ancient temples, eating something you can’t pronounce, or finding yourself somewhere so remote you almost forget what day it is.

Picking my favorite experiences in Asia is honestly a little unfair. There are just too many!

Here are some of the places and experiences that have really stuck with me.
Asia is HUGE, and planning a trip here can look completely different depending on where you’re going.
Backpacking through Thailand, road-tripping around Japan, and heading into the mountains of Kyrgyzstan are three very different adventures, with their own challenges, costs, and things to prepare for.
