If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring ancient temples, tasting new foods, and admiring natural beauty, Asia has it all. Every time I visit, I’m amazed by how diverse and rich each destination feels. You’ll find a little bit of everything in Asia.
Highlights
- Explore the majestic temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia – I still remember the way the sunrise lit up the ancient stone. You have to see it at least once in your life.
- Wander the streets of Tokyo, Japan – I loved how one minute I was in a quiet shrine, and the next I was under neon lights. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the future and the past at the same time.
- Sail through the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam – I took a slow boat here and couldn’t stop staring. If you’re like me, you’ll want your camera ready the whole time.
- Visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, India – It took my breath away. You’ll stand there, like I did, in awe that something so beautiful was built for love.
- Relax on the beaches of Bali, Indonesia – I found hidden coves and peaceful mornings that made me never want to leave. You’ll find your own version of paradise here too.
