Asia

the sights, the smells, the scenery - asia is a constant feast for the senses

Where does one start when it comes to Asia? I’ve been several times, yet I’m still overwhelmed by it and unable to answer that with confidence. The first time you visit (and just about every time henceforth), it assaults your senses, one by one, until you’re dizzy from the array sights, the smells of street food, and the incessant sound of honking motorbikes.

First trip? Backpacking in densely populated Southeast Asia is the classic way to go. Do you seek the road less traveled? A journey along the Silk Road may be up your alley.

Whether taking on the big city of Tokyo, laying on a beach in Indonesia, or hiking in Tajikstan, Asia delivers an experience like no other.
