Discover stories from all across Asia. This category will cover every single country visited within Asia as well as specific destination blog posts related to places in Asia.
From popular backpacking countries such as Thailand and Indonesia to microstates including Brunei and Timor-Leste, this category will provide something for everyone presuming you have an interest in Asia. In the future I will be adding posts covering travels to the lesser-known countries of Central Asia, the ultra-hospitable Gulf states and the countries your favourite news channel will tell you to avoid. If you want to read about what it is like to visit Mongolia, North Korea, Yemen or the Maldives then you are in the right place. Although at the time of writing this blog is brand new, so please be patient when it comes to content expectations!
Destination reports will also feature heavily for cool places within Asia. Cambodia alone has two places of note which may receive their own articles in the future. The mystical temples of Angkor Wat are an absolute must for travellers to this part of the world. They can consider themselves unfortunate to not be amongst the modern list of Seven World Wonders when lesser locations made the final list. Christ the Redeemer, I’m looking at you. The Tuol Sleng genocide museum in the capital and nearby killing fields are also some of the world’s most fascinating places. They provide excellent insight into one of Asia’s darkest periods and I believe a visit there is one of the most important educational trips you could possibly make.
On a lighter note this section will also feature the incredible nationalistic Wagah border ceremony which takes place on a daily basis as the India/Pakistan border near Amritsar closes for the evening. This display of dancing and military pageantry is a unique experience which makes it worth visiting this part of the world alone. Also stay tuned to find out all about a really cool abandoned water park in Vietnam!
This blog is in its infancy at the time of writing, but I hope to provide a lot of value for you in the months and years to come.
