When it comes down to traveling and seeing the world, we all have different things we enjoy seeing, doing and experiencing. Some people are more adventurous and physically more able than others, which can affect our bucket list. But in the end, we all crave new experiences, new cultures and just enjoying live by traveling the world. At least, the people who read my blog do I guess 😉
Since covering the whole world would be impossible to do in a single blog post, I’m aiming this one at Asia. Which is my favorite continent. And also has some of the cheapest countries in the world to travel to. Which means you can stay longer and do more.
Places to breathe the air and feel the wind of some of the oldest civilizations in the world. Tropical islands that come with colorful corals and clear waters. Shopping in some of the biggest and most famous markets in the world. Mountains full of myths, legends, and religions older than history itself. Caves and temples full with Buddhist shrines. Jungles that hide rare species. There is so much to see and experience in Asia.
All destinations are fantastic and will make for a memorable trip! Which ones do you want to visit? Of this list of 50 examples, I myself can check off 39 of them. And they were all amazing!
